Why Not Give The Weight Loss Industry the Benefit of the Doubt? Part 3 - Talking Back

from Weight and Healthcare · host Ragen Chastain

In part 1 we talked about the general issues with giving the weight loss industry the benefit of the doubt. In part 2 we talked about the specifics of this for the GLP-1 weight loss meds. That brings us back to our original question from family doctor Elena:I’m a weight-neutral family doctor. I was talking to a colleague about my issues with the GLP-1s and how there is no evidence that supports that taking them for life will lead to sustained weight loss or health benefits. He said “There’s no evidence that they won’t.” It strikes me as wrong, but how do I argue with that?In some ways it can depend who you are talking to.
