Episode 22 of The Pound of Cure Weight Loss podcast is titled, Hot Diggity Dog - Costco’s New Weight Loss Program. The name comes from our In the News segment where we talk about how Costco is entering the medical weight loss space. We dive into what this means for GLP-1 access and whether or not patients benefit.
In our Patient Story segment, we talk to Suzanne who gained weight later in life after an early and then late pregnancy. She had some moderate success losing weight on her own but ended up hitting a stall that she couldn’t overcome so she reached out to us for help.
Zoe shares a strategy on how to incorporate new habits in our Nutrition segment. And Dr. Weiner begins a two-part series on drug patents in our Economics of Obesity segment. Part 1 focuses on how drug patents work and how the system can be manipulated to favor the pharmaceutical companies over patient care. Part 2 will air next week.
We also answer 3 listener submitted questions including, homemade pizza made with cauliflower crust, veggies, and vegan cheese, our thoughts on Contrave, and diagnostic pattern dumping after surgery.
Finally, some exciting news this week! We have added a new Weight Regain program to the practice. This program incorporates the expertise of both myself and Zoe and utilizes nutrition, GLP-1 medication, and behavior modification to help you lose the regain and keep it off. Plus! It’s available to anyone in the country.
