Can We Rethink Obesity Treatment for Kids and Teens?
Child and adolescent obesity isn’t a single issue. It’s biology, behavior, food environments, sleep, screens, stress, and, more recently, powerful metabolic medicines. The old recipe of “eat less, move more” helps some, but not nearly enough. We need tools that…
When Weight Loss Improves More Than Weight

What We’ve Missed About Appetite, Insulin, and the Brain

The Unexpected Longevity Benefits of GLP-1
Longevity isn’t about living forever. It’s about stretching the good part, the years when you feel sharp, strong, steady. Where systems hum instead of stall. And oddly enough, one of the most promising tools for extending that phase didn’t come…
Can One Hormone Really Help the Heart, Brain, and Body?
When researchers first stumbled upon a peculiar gut hormone called GLP-1, no one thought much of it. At best, it seemed like a quirky messenger in digestion. But science has a way of surprising us, and GLP-1 turned out to…
Why the Gut Holds the Key to Metabolic Health
Long before nutrients hit your bloodstream or your pancreas kicks in, your gut has already weighed in. Literally. This overlooked stretch of tubing is more than a digestion station—it’s a hormonal command center. What if the small intestine, not the…
Why Lipids Matter Way More Than You Think (Especially If You’re a Woman)
Heart disease has a PR issue. For decades, it’s been portrayed as a man’s disease, balding heads, stress, steak dinners, and dramatic hospital scenes. But here’s the reality: heart disease is the number one killer of women, too. And lipids?…
