## Resource

Get ready for one of the most insightful conversations we’ve ever had on The Fit Physician Podcast. We’re joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky—one of the most trusted, respected, and sought-after voices in obesity and metabolic medicine—where he deep dives into all things GLP-1 medications: what they do, who they help, and what’s hype. Spencer talks about the evidence and why these drugs have become so popular, the brain-level impact on “food noise,” why they are changing the way we understand obesity as a disease, and what physicians and patients actually need to know about safety, side effects, micro-dosing debates, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, perimenopause/menopause considerations, and long-term use. -- Follow @drnadalsky on Instagram here Check out the Docs Who Lift Podcast here Learn more about Vineyard here
