We’re excited to share our Health with Heart Podcast conversation with Dr Patrick Bennet on obesity, weight gain, weight loss, metabolic health, and – of course – Ozempic.
Dr Patrick is a health tech entrepreneur with a passion for supporting patients on a weight loss journey. His online platform, Flourish, is a place where specially trained professionals can support patients on a weight loss journey with a multi-disciplinary team and the right medicines to support them.
This is an information-dense episode unpacking the physiology of fat and the impact of extra fat on metabolism. We delve into why we need fat, how our bodies strive to hold onto it at all costs, and how this impacts our metabolic, cardiovascular, and mental health. We talk about all of the weight loss drugs available to us, their risks, benefits and the new ‘wonder drug’ that everyone is trying to get hold of – Ozempic.
Through this insightful conversation, we hope to empower professionals and non-medical persons with a deep understanding of how to navigate weight loss in an obesogenic world.
