ABOUT THIS PODCAST
According to the CDC, nearly 42% of Americans have obesity, with estimated medical costs of $173+ billion dollars annually. While medications to promote weight loss have become popular, it is equally important to also review current medications for those that may lend to weight gain. Optimizing these medications with weight neutral or weight negative alternatives can help patients achieve greater success in their weight loss efforts.
