Mon Feb 02 2026
Weight loss isn’t just about willpower—and in this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn gets real about why with obesity medicine specialist Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, founder of Vineyard Health.
Together, they unpack the messy, misunderstood reality of weight gain, from genetics and environment to why the traditional healthcare system often fails people trying to lose weight. Dr. Nadolsky breaks down how GLP-1 medications like Wegovy actually work, who they help most, and why they’re not the “easy way out” they’re often made out to be.
They also tackle the big questions people are afraid to ask:Will these medications cause muscle loss?Do you have to stay on them forever?What happens if you stop?
Most importantly, Dr. Nadolsky explains why sustainable weight loss requires more than a prescription—combining medication with nutrition, strength training, lifestyle changes, and real coaching support.
If you’re confused by the headlines, skeptical of quick fixes, or frustrated by years of conflicting advice, this episode cuts through the noise with clarity, compassion, and practical insight into where obesity treatment is headed next.
