‼️Sound on‼️ In this episode of The Carol Ofori Podcast, I investigate a drug, initially developed to manage type 2 diabetes, but now also gaining global popularity as a weight loss solution. There’s a new weight loss craze that’s taking the world by storm, with many people reporting great success. It is a medication used to treat patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but is now also being used for weight loss, with many doctors prescribing it “off label” for this purpose. As a result of its indiscriminate and ‘off-label’ use, we are not allowed to use the name of the drug, but can tell you it is a semaglutide, and is from a class of medicines called GLP-1s. It is usually administered as a daily or weekly injection. Well-known international celebs such as Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Osbourne, Elon Musk and Khloe Kardashian have all been linked to this drug, and as a result, arguably contributing towards its popularity. So, I decided to go on a fact finding mission on The Carol Ofori Podcast. In the first part of this episode, I speak to two people who have direct experience with using this drug for weight loss, 48-year-old Robynne Fitzpatrick and her son, 19-year-old Michael. Michael’s father, Chris Fitzpatrick, who is a sports nutritionist and former body builder, also joins the conversation. To provide a balanced perspective, I then seek the professional opinion of Dr. Sundeep Ruder, an endocrinologist with an extensive background in the field. Dr. Ruder delves into the science behind GLP-1s, their role in weight management, and the ethical considerations surrounding their off-label application for weight loss. Dr Ruder also emphasises the importance of looking beyond medication to address the root causes of obesity, advocating for a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Detoxes and cleanses that promise to help you shed extra pounds, feel more energetic, and "get rid of toxins" have been around for ages. One that's been popularized in recent years by self-pronounced "wellness gurus" is called a colon cleanse—also known as a colonic. But are colonics safe? And does your gut even need them? While colonics (which is essentially just the emptying of your G.I. tract) can be beneficial for some things—like prepping for a colonoscopy, for example—they should always be approved by your doctor first, because they don't come without risk. Here, learn everything you need to know about colonics from three gastroenterologists, including what they are, their possible risks and side effects, and alternative ways to keep your gut healthy—minus the gimmicks. Thank you to Sarah Robbins, MD, MSc, FRCPC, Pratima Dibba and Dr. Harsh Sheth for sharing your insights and expertise for this Well+Good piece! #guthealth #freelancewriter #freelancer #healthwriter
