Now we turn to a drug that our next guest says could “change the conversation” about an often stigmatized medical condition. Nearly 2.3 billion people globally - and more than two in five American adults - hover between overweight and obese. But with the help of breakthrough weight loss drugs, Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford is seeing some patients lose as much as 16% in weight. She speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about the recent buzz around the medicines.

Downplaying the importance of exercise is a mistake. Exercise is necessary for health. It keeps muscles and bones strong. It strengthens the heart. It improves circulation. It oxygenates the tissues. And it relieves stress. Oh, yes! It also burns calories.

Exercise is not that important when it comes to weight loss. It's mostly diet. Exercise helps, sure. But it's far from the main thing.

@howardwunderlich6323 Жыл бұрын

As a retired MD and type 2 diabetic, Ozempic has been a major addition to my diabetic regimen and, yes, I lost 20# when I started and have maintained the weight loss despite not needing to lose much weight. It does create mild nausea at times and constipation but is easily managed. My issue with these agents is the cost. I am able to afford them but being on Medicare means that I share a significant deductible that may be as high as $400/per prescription at certain times of the year. It is great that the President got Congress to limit the cost of insulin, but this is not the case for these G1P agonists like Ozempic. Too bad, because both obesity and type 2 diabetes are so common and are a major drain on our national socioeconomics.

I am obese (~100lb over weight), I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea. My health insurance, Kaiser, is willing to pay for a cpac machine, blood pressure meds, and ( if I needed it) isoline but it refuses to provide medication for obesity even though they proscribe it for diabetes. I limit my calorie intake, I try to exercise regularly, although it is difficult with the weight, and I'm careful to avoid processed food, fast food and high sugar food (no soft drinks etc.). It's very frustrating that I can get the medication if I develop diabetes because of my weight but I can't get it to AVOID developing diabetes because of my weight.

It's amazing that we just have to have some external intervention to accomplish what we can do ourselves. Intermittent fasting and dietary improvements result in the same changes to hunger and satiety. We're finally catching on to the fact that most processed foods are designed to be addicting. And that hours of sitting every day while working sedentary jobs, or on social media, or watching sports or tv shows, or on KZfaq, etc. leads to sedentary diseases like depression, cardiovascular disease, weight gain, high blood pressure, sleep disruption... But no, we need expensive drugs and dangerous surgeries. We need to pay pay pay and be medically treated and support the poor, struggling medical, pharmaceutical and insurance industries.

There are so many factors contributing to obesity, and if you've never experienced what it's like to have hormones that are out of whack (which are corrected somewhat by these GLP-1 receptor agonists), you cannot know what it's like to struggle to lose weight and keep it off. Saying that these drugs shouldn't be needed is like saying that a person with vision problems should just exercise their eyes and eat the right food and they wouldn't need glasses.

Obesity is but only one gastrointestinal issue people can have. I've never had that much of an issue with being obese, but I've had various degrees of GERD my whole adult life, was diagnosed with IBS about 20 years ago. I've always been athletic, and that helps, but I'm 60 now, and something in the place I think the pancreas is has been hurting for weeks now. The pain has diminished over that time. I've tried poking and proding it thinking maybe something like a gallstone is forming perhaps I can move it along? I dont' know... biology's always been my weakest science. I grew up in Massachusetts, but I've lived in North Carolina the last 15 years or so. My medical care plummeted when I moved to North Carolina. In a progressive state like Massachusetts you get more rights, protections, and benefits, but you've got to pay for them with a higher cost of living. So now, if I go to the doctor anything besides the yearly physical it's going to cost me an arm and leg, so... I guess you've got to ration care somehow, and if you don't, someone's got to pay for it.

@@scrubjay93 Yeah, that's what my sister keeps telling me... that would probably be better. I will if it continues for much longer. It could also be that I irriated something with some of my funky stretches which really strain my adominal area or I started hanging about a month ago and then combined the the legs up for the abs with the hang... don't know. I started doing the hanging alone, and using the captain's chair once again for the legs up... probably safer. I've started taking the antacid pills before eating and that seems to reduce the bloating which is helpful because it reduces how much my adominal area bloats out after eating. If they do anything, it'd probably be some sort of imaging, like ultrasound... and even if I do the yearly physical early I'll have to pay for that completely because the deductible is a few thousand dollars. Additionally, in the physical they won't even let you talk about any physical issues or ailments because that's something they should be paid for separately... but that's not covered under preventative like the physical. This is just how they ration care in a for-profit medical system like ours. Instead of having a panel of doctors deciding when what kinds of things are necessary they just make the patient pay a lot more, thus effectively deterring the patient from accessing medical care... and hence, rationing medical care. Oddly enough, pretty much what defenders of our for-profit system are always complaining happens in Canada, for instance. Thanks... I do appreciate your concern. Very kind.

Very curious to know what kind of diet and exercise regimen that patient from the grocery store was put on. I have been trying to lose 60lbs since the age of 13, now in my early 30s lost 40lbs just by reducing stress, sleeping well, eating whole foods with intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting, on a low carb diet, drinking enough water, getting 7-8hrs of sleep and doing resistance training 3-4 times a week with 5-10k steps a day worked wonders for me. No weight loss pills were needed. Calorie in calorie out failed me miserably, eat less exercise more, the most common advice given by all my physicians over the years. Finally took a stand to do my own research, understand my blood test results, made lifestyle changes and discussed my options with my doctors. Ozempic might be a revolutionary drug for some cases, however, saying that lifestyle changes like diet and exercise don’t work might be a stretch. Was it done right, is the question here.

This is a fine look into the drug and a great general discussion on obesity and treatment. I'm pleased Dr. Stanford will not wholly embrace BMI as useful for individual metrics as it can more broadly measure differences in populations. And, given the ostensibly racist purpose for which BMI was developed, it can easily be discarded in favor of more individualized body-composition determinations based on other observable and measurable factors. It would figure and follow here that surging unsupervised use of weight-loss therapy drugs will result in a host of unintended consequences along with other successes.

When hunger hormones are dysregulated, it's nearly impossible to keep weight off regardless of how good one's diet and exercise routines are. In our society, there is way too much bias against people who have obesity and much too little understanding of the complexity of it. There are good obesity drugs coming onto the market these days, and while it's totally inappropriate for celebrities to take them so they look good in bikinis, these drugs can be a godsend to people who have weight-related health issues and for whom absolutely no behaviour modifications (i.e., improved diet and exercise) have resulted in sustained weight loss despite years of effort on that front.
