The Midlife Mentors The GLP-1 Revolution: Upacking The Real Story, With Dr Max Pemberton & Dr Courtney Raspin
Today we’re joined by Dr Max Pemberton and Dr Courtney Raspin, authors of The Weight Loss Prescription, to unpack one of the most talked-about health shifts of our time: GLP-1 weight-loss medications.
Are they a miracle? A medical breakthrough? Or a shortcut that risks creating new problems?
In this conversation we explore what happens when you remove someone’s primary coping mechanism, food, and why anxiety, low mood or even addiction can surface if the psychological work isn’t done alongside the medical treatment.
We tackle the tension between body positivity and health reality, the stigma and secrecy around using weight-loss medication, and why midlife with its hormonal shifts, muscle loss and bone health concerns changes the equation entirely.
Most importantly, this is a compassionate, non-judgemental discussion. It’s an honest look at what these medications can - and can’t - do, and how to approach weight loss with both medical insight and psychological support.
Whether you’re on the medication, considering it or just interesting in the impact of GLP1’s beyond weight loss, you’re not going to want to miss this.
