4 Surprising Side Effects of Drinking Wine in Your 40s Eat This Not That – Eat This, Not That

Posted: June 26, 2022 at 1:58 am

There's nothing quite like ending a long work day with a nice glass of your favorite wine or meeting up with friends for happy hour to split a bottle of vino.

Wine is certainly delicious, but how does it affect our health? And can wine have a different effect on us as we get older? To find out, we talked with some dietitians to learn more about the effects of drinking wine when you're in your 40s.

And for more healthy drinking tips, check out 4 Drinking Habits That Slow Down Your Metabolism at Any Age.

Many people may not think to hydrate while they're drinking, but wine can quickly dehydrate you.

Since alcohol is a diuretic, drinking excessive amounts can pull fluids from your body. Combat this with extra mindfulness to rehydrate and hydrate while drinking," says Rachel Fine, RDN and founder of To The Pointe Nutrition.

While excessive alcohol consumption may negatively impact your gut health, a very moderate amount of wine has been found to possibly help your gut. This may be helpful in your 40s, especially because some studies have found that aging may change your gut microbiome.

A review of studies over recent years show a link between moderate consumption of red wine and beneficial gut bacteria," says registered dietitian Johna Burdeos, RD. "This research suggests that the polyphenols in wine may increase gut microbial diversity, which is key to a healthy and resilient gut.

Moderate consumption of red wine may contribute to healthy aging, as long as it's a part of an overall healthy, balanced diet.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

"The anti-oxidative benefits from the antioxidants in red wine are abundant, and help to neutralize damaging free radicals in the body that build up from oxidative stress," says Fine.

It's never too early to care for your heart health. While your heart undergoes most of its age-related changes in your 50s and 60s, preparing for a healthy heart in your 30s and 40s may help protect you from damage.

Studies have shown that moderate consumption of red wine may have positive benefits on your heart health. In a 2019 report published in Molecules, it was shown that wine can have anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering effects on the body. However, it's important to note that your overall diet has more of an impact on your cardiovascular health.

Ask Me Anything: Brain health and cognition – Scope

Posted: June 26, 2022 at 1:58 am

When it comes to complex biology, the brain rules. To understand how the brain controls our movements, behavior, thoughts and memories -- and how that changes when things go awry -- we asked Stanford neurologist Sharon Sha to weigh in. For an #AskMeAnything, she spoke about all things neuro -- from how you can sharpen your mental acuity, to what happens when a memory is lost.

Sha, who specializes in caring for patients with cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders, weighed in on a multitude of brain and cognition-related questions, and even shared a peek into what it was like to work with actor Chris Hemsworth (who played Thor in several Marvel Studios "Avengers" films) on a docuseries.

Below is a compilation of the questions and answers hosted on our Instagram account. The following Q&A has been lightly edited for clarity.

Great question! The best way to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease is to exercise.

There is a lot of data (and more to come!) that shows exercise helps stimulate the brain. Much like when we get an endorphin rush while exercising, we can create something in the body that nurtures the brain. Some scientists believe that a protein called brain derived neurotrophic factor -- or BDNF -- helps the brain and the memory center (the hippocampus), in particular.

Other ways to reduce the risk are keeping your brain stimulated, eating a Mediterranean heart-healthy diet, sleeping well and socializing.

Best advice tosharpen focus/concentration for students?

Take breaks! There is data to support the notion that even a 20-minute walk in nature helps improve concentration. The thought behind this is that the constant stimulation of technology places a high demand on our attention (emails, text messages, etc.), but disconnecting and focusing on the sights and sounds of nature improves our attention and working memory.

Unfortunately, if memory is lost due to Alzheimer's disease, there is no way to bring it back. The best thing is to do all you can to reduce the risk of dementia with lifestyle measures like exercise, eating healthy, keeping your brain active, socializing, sleeping well and feeling good! Someone can use the parts of the brain that are working well for workarounds such as keeping lists, using a calendar, keeping routines, and enlisting help.

Chris was amazing. He is such a professional. He was a producer on a docuseries filmed for National Geographic about the potential of the human body so he would contribute great ideas and suggestions for the content. He is also very funny, though I think I'm funnier!

The Mediterranean heart-healthy diet is the best for your brain. We don't know what is in the diet that helps our brain, but likely it is the lean proteins, high amount of vegetables and fruit and few fried foods. If your culture is not Mediterranean, I usually suggest not changing your diet completely. Rather, I suggest eating healthier versions of your familiar foods, increasing vegetables and decreasing fatty foods. Unfortunately, there is no magic food or pill we can take.

All of us can walk into a room and forget the reason we did. This can be part of normal aging, distraction or poor sleep! It can also be part of a degenerative disease such as dementia. The pattern of symptoms and whether it is affecting your ability to function independently can help with understanding this symptom in the context of whether a dementia like Alzheimer's disease is present.

What does your grandma like to do? Does she like to garden, knit, talk about old memories/photos, dance, listen to music? Let her interests guide you and encourage to her talk about them, interact with them, teach you about it! Things that stimulate her will help her keep her brain assharp as it can be -- and teach you more about her!

No one really knows how it affects the brain. However, music can have strong associations with emotions that can "tag" memories very well -- such as when an old favorite song brings back memories and related feelings about the song. Because of this, I often suggest that patients with Alzheimer's disease play old, happy songs to inspire and calm us.

Yes! But it doesn't have to be puzzles or games. Anything that stimulates your mind is good for the brain. Something that is interactive is even better for your brain!

P90X’s Tony Horton Shared the Workout Tips He Uses to Stay Shredded – Men’s Health

Posted: June 26, 2022 at 1:58 am

Almost 20 years after becoming a household name by telling P90X users to bring it, Tony Horton is still bringing it. The 64-year old lifts three days per week, does yoga on Saturdays, and spends the rest of the week out in his yardclimbing ropes, working on parallel bars, doing sprints, and training on his at-home ninja training course.

Yesterday, we were out there for four hours, and I was able to do pretty well with the youngsters, he says. One of the things we did was up and down the 20-foot rope twice, timed. So you go all the way up, come down all the way, then hit it a second time. My buddy Scott did it in 14 seconds, Mine was 19.

Even with six days of training, Horton finds time to work on his program, The Power of 4, design and appear in workouts for Tonal, and work on creating his own sports nutrition products, called Power Life.

With that kind of schedule, youd think hed burn outand he almost did. In 2017, Horton contracted a type of shingles outbreak called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. He lost 25 pounds, and could have had permanent nerve and eye damage.

I was burning the candle at both ends, he says. So in addition to his grueling training and work schedule, Horton found time to add in mindfulness, too. But even when he did that, he was bringing it: I dont have to be listening to some esoteric stuff. If Im feeling kind of funky, I just crank up the Zeppelin.

Horton shared some of his strategies for doing it alland then some, including his weekly cardio, his go-to post-workout shake, and a challenge he used with Ewan McGregor to prepare the actor for the new series, Obi-wan Kenobi.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

The short answer is this: I still weight train and I do a lot more bodyweight training. I do more HIIT training and I work as much or more so on speed, balance, range of motion and flexibility than I do just lifting weights and doing cardio. Because that's what keeps me young at 64that variety.

Ive got four different areas where I train. And so it has changed. I still lift. I have a Tonal, I'm on Tonal. So on those Tuesdays and Thursdays, it's indoor on the Tonal with the dumbbells and the bands. That's kind of a Tuesday-Thursday thing. Saturdays are yoga typically. But on Fridays and Sundays I'm out in the yard. I'm climbing the ropes and I'm on the rings and I'm on the ninja course and I'm on the parallel bars.

So that's where it has changed dramatically because those are more skill-based, athletic-type movements. A lot of people will train and train and train, but they're moving in these very linear ways. That's why I do plyometrics. I do plyo boxes on Friday and then I do regular kind of plyo like you'd see in P90X or some of my new programslateral jumps and high and low single leg jumps.

It's just like P90X"muscle confusion," a made-up term that says, "What are the things you need to do to avoid boredom. Injuries and plateaus?" You learn more, you do more, you work on your weaknesses as much as your strengths, and you won't age at the same rate as everybody else who still is training hard but doing the same things over and over and over and over.

On Cardio Night, which is tonight, I have nine different stations in my gym. So I do 3 minutes each and I just jump from one to another. A lot of people get on the Versaclimber for 50 minutes. I mean, if you're a robot man or woman, well rock on. But I do 3 minutes on the bike, 3 minutes on the Versaclimber, 3 minutes on the treadmill, 3 minutes on the heavy bag, 3 minutes on the rower, 3 minutes on the jump rope, 3 minutes on the skier and 3 minutes on the slideboard. Round and round I go, for about an hour, an hour and 10 minutes. I'm getting all that variety. I'm avoiding the injuries that come from just running. I break that sweat. I wear my heart monitor and I try to burn 500 calories or more.

Not everybody has that optionthey don't have all that stuff. You can choose your own. And if it ain't nine things, it's two or it's three, and it's two minutes each, five minutes each, or 8 minutes each, whatever. Just kind of play with it, experiment with that.

That's what I do when I'm traveling. Even if there is no gym, I'll just do wind sprints in the parking lotI'll walk, jog, run, sprint. I'll pick four different speeds and I'll just find some neighborhood or whatever.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are the big lower body, upper body days. And that's when I'll do the shake afterward, but not right away, because I don't have much of an appetite. I'm just not a guy who can just throw something down immediately after a workout. I just want to take a nap most times.

I put basically the same things in there every time. So I put frozen blueberries in the bottom. Then I put walnuts and pecansa little on top of that. Then I'll put a little spinach, a little kale. And then I'll put in like a fifth of a banana, just for the flavor. I don't like to put a whole banana in a shake. There's just too many sugar calories for me. The blueberries are enough. I get like six or eight [bananas] at a time. I cut them up in those little pieces and I put them in the freezerI just throw them in every once in a while. I put in some whey proteinPower Life, chocolate. And then I put mint leaves, a substantial amount of little mint leaves. So you've got that blueberry chocolate banana mint.

They wanted him to look pretty sleek. There's an opening scene in that series where he's kind of beat up and hunkered downand they wanted him to look pretty trim. So there was a lot of a lot of HIIT training, a lot of cardio training. A lot of what we were doing in my new program, called The Power of Four. Two different ab routines. A lot of martial arts, a lot of hook, elbow down, strike, sprawls. Things that equated to what he'd be doing in the series with all that sword fighting. And then a lot of it was dietary. He enjoys food like any human being. So we were kind of trying to come up with some healthier snacks and things that weren't as detrimental to his overall goals. So a lot of it was mobility stuff. A lot of it was speed stuff. There was still weight training, right? Because we wanted to we wanted to lift some weight. So he's burning calories 24/7.

He was here typically an hour. And then we had a little bonus thing called "five times five equals five." It was a jump rope/burpee sequence. The whole thing took less than 8 minutes.

Jump rope for a minute, then you do five burpees. And you do that five times.

You don't need a rope either. It's always nice to learn that basic skill. Just for a quick, "Man, I don't have any time. I want to get my heart rate up. I want to kind of activate some some muscles and do the heart/lung/leg part with a bit of jumping rope." It's kind of a nice twofer. And for a very quickie, it's a good one.

I have a routine now in the Power of Four called "Triple Trouble Challenge." And P90X3 had one called "The Challenge." And "The Challenge" was a challenge because what you had to do was 16 total sets. There were eight sets of pushups and eight sets of pull upsand the push ups and the pull ups changed ... wide, narrow, chin up, military. They changed, I think every three three of one, three of the next variety. And the goal was to sort of estimate how many pull ups and push ups you're going to do before you even start. And the rep counts had to remain the same from start to finish.

When I first started doing this routine, I called it 30-15 when I was just doing this routine on my own. And I used to do 24 sets, not 16. So I would do 24 sets, 12 of push ups, 12 of of pull ups. And all my pull up sets had to be 15 repetitions, and all my push up sets had to be 30. My best ever was 40-20 when I was one strong son of a gun.

So the new one is called "Triple Trouble Challenge." You do three sets of pushups in a row, and then you do three sets of pull ups in a row, with a little bit more time in between because you need recovery. So with the "Triple Trouble Challenge," you do a set of push ups, you get about 30 seconds [to rest]. You have to repeat that same number. [Rest] 30 seconds, then you have to repeat that same number. And then you go to pull up bar and repeat it.

The idea there is just a different form of time under tension. You're doing back to back to back. So what's my number? If I'm going to pick 20, that means I've got to do 20, 40, 60 push ups. Wham. And then I put my numbers over here on pull ups. If it's 10, I'm doing 10, 20, 30 ... it will destroy you.

It's intensity, but it's also the opposite of intensity. Because if you're going to push this hard, then you've got to also recover. And that's different for everybody. You've got a guy who's a 25-year- old ex-gymnast who's got 8 pounds to lose, his objectives are very different than somebody who's really not athletic and they've got 85 pounds to lose. The expression that I've trademarked, even though people like to steal it and put it on t-shirts, is called "do your best and forget the rest." And doing your best on any given day changes from day to day, from hour to hour, from exercise to exercise, from rep to rep. It's just paying attention to what's happening, making sure that whatever you're doing, you're maintaining and sustaining a certain amount of decent form.

And paying attention to to what ails you. If you keep training your shoulders and your shoulder has got a stinger that won't go away ... you know, what are you doing? Lighten the load, do some rehab. Go see your orthopedic person. Address these things.

It's not the intensity. The more important thing is consistency. Be the tortoise, not the hare. Keep showing up. Pay attention. You're going to have hero days and you're going to have maintenance days. Notice difference between the two. And then you just keep coming and coming and coming. I always say, people that want to work out 2 to 3 days a week thinking that's really going to have an effect ... you might as well just throw yourself down a set of stairs because you're going to be sore, but you're not going to see any kind of real results. Results come from showing up and showing up and figuring out what you're going to do on what day and what time and with whom.

P90X was a 90 day program, but, you know, this new one, The Power of Four, is also a 90 day program. But when the 90 days are up, you better have something planned for the next 90 on day 60 from the one beforeI've got a month. I better figure out what the next thing is.

Yoga's gold. And too many dudes are still avoiding it for whatever reason. I don't understand it. It's it's more than sitting in lotus position and doing ohms. It's pretty intense, man. It has four things that are happening simultaneously that you almost can't get anywhere else. So you have the strength componentall the chaturungas and all the lunges and things like that.

There's the flexibility componentit's a moving stretch. There's the balance with all the one-legged, different things. Crescent pose in itself is a is a balance thing. And then you have that mindfulness component. Learning how to be in the moment, being present, being patient ... while you're also having your ass handed to you. There's just so much there. The feeling that I have after a ninja session is very different than I would have after a yoga session. Yoga is a very healing process, even though you'll get into a flop sweat and work really hard.

If you're my age, or in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyondthe yoga, the flexibility, the mobility, the strength, the balance ... that is really gold.

What people need to get away from is their egos. Your ego will just kick your butt because your ego has nothing to do with how you feel about you. Your ego has everything to do with about what you think other people think of you. And by the way, other people. spend too much time thinking about themselves to really think about you. So get rid of that. And then there's there's a lot of pressure that comes off. You get to go be you.

Yoga For Weight Loss: Does It Really Work? – Women’s Health

Posted: June 26, 2022 at 1:57 am

When you want to lose weight, it makes sense to approach it with a combo of eating well and exercising regularly. But, of course, in order to make healthier habits stick, they have to feel right for you. If youre not into sweating buckets on a stationary bike or treadmill, its understandable that you'd want to try something like yoga for weight loss. Sure, yoga is all about finding your spiritual center and mind-body connection, but it's also a type of workout and can help you burn calories.

Yoga may provide some benefits with regard to weight loss, says Fatima Cody Stanford, MD, MPH, an obesity medicine physician and associate professor of medicine and pediatrics at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. And research backs this up. Yoga appears to be most beneficial for weight when paired with a behavioral intervention for weight management, she says, citing a 2021 study showing that this practice combined with a calorie- and fat-reduced diet could help with weight loss.

Also, yoga can also improve cardiorespiratory fitness in addition to promoting weight loss, notes Dr. Stanford. Research has also linked yoga to keeping the weight off after you lose it.

But how effective it is for weight loss really depends on the type of yoga, says yoga instructor Alli Bradley of Private Yoga Soho, adding that there are a lot of different types. If people are looking for yoga as a weight loss tool, I suggest Vinyasa and less of a restorative type of yoga, just because its more active, she explains. It builds more heat and muscle.

Meet the experts: Fatima Cody Stanford, MD, MPH, is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in obesity medicine. She has received many awards for her work, including from the American Medical Association and American College of Physicians. She holds a teaching position at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Alli Bradley provides private yoga lessons that combine several styles, including Vinyasa and restorative yoga. She completed 200 hours of yoga training at a studio in New York City, and is also trained in dance, somatics, and energy healing.

Yoga has a lot going for it, but there are a few particular aspects of the practice that make it good for weight loss.

It burns calories. Its hard to put an exact number on how many calories yoga torches, given there are so many different practices are out there and how different each class can be. But Dr. Stanford says you can maybe expect about 120 calories for a 30-minute session. Overall, yoga burns less calories than many forms of exercise, she says. However, higher intensity sessions with a longer duration may burn more calories. Keep in mind, though, that if weight loss is your goal, you should do other workouts on top of yoga. The type of exercise that has the highest likelihood to promote weight loss is high-intensity interval training, she says.

It busts stress. Stress causes your body to store fat, particularly in the midsection, Dr. Stanford says. Exercises that promote mindfulness like yoga can help lower levels of stress and can help you maintain or lower your body fat, according to a 2011 study in the Journal of Obesity. Yoga is considered a mindful practice that reduces stress, says Dr. Stanford.

It can help with your sleep. Being mindful and less stressed can improve your sleep, Dr. Stanford points out, and that leads to better regulation of the pathways of the brain that regulate weight. People who regularly slept less than the recommended seven hours a night were more likely to have higher average body mass indexes and develop obesity than those who slept more, per 2018 research published in the journal BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine.

GoYoga 7-Piece Set

$32.99

You actually dont need a lot. Bradley suggests getting a high-quality yoga mat, i.e., one that provides enough cushioning for your body so you can comfortably work through moves without sliding around. You may also benefit from having a block and strap to help you if you have tight hamstrings or hips.

Finding the right yoga class and instructor for you is individual. Many towns and cities have local studios, but you can also find yoga classes online that you can stream, like on the Peloton app. Ultimately, it may take a little trial and error for you to find a source that you love.

Yoga is a series of poses strung together to help create an experience, but some are better for building muscle and weight loss than others. Bradley recommends adding the following to the mix to help you out.

Again, if youre interested in trying yoga for weight loss, its usually best to pair it with another form of exercise, like HIIT. But adding yoga to the mix could help you lose weightand get a healthier mindset in the process.

Leptofix Reviews – Is This Weight Loss Formula Legit? Read This Before You Order! – MarylandReporter.com

Leptofix Reviews Leptofix is an all-natural weight loss supplement to support the root cause of weight loss. Check out its ingredients, benefits & dosage in this review before order.

Leptofix is the worlds first natural blend of high-quality and purity, non-GMO ingredients that address the cause of your weight gain.

Each capsule has the perfect combination of 22 carefully mixed plant extracts and vitamins, each ingredient with its benefits that will support your bodys weight loss and overall health and well-being.

The real root cause of stubborn body fat and uncontrollable and insatiable food cravings is not on how many calories you eat, how much work you put into exercising, or whether you would need a low-carb or high-carb diet.

The root is in the root of your body which starts in the vicious cycle happening inside your bodys fat cells. This cycle blocks your bodys ability to burn fat correctly and damages your overall health in the process.

A double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical research trial has proven a key to stopping this cycle and enables your bodys natural ability to burn fat correctly.

It is scientifically proven to be a fat-burning restarter that can be safely used for weight loss, regaining energy, boosting your sex drive, and supporting healthy arteries, joints, and bone strength.

With recent clinical studies and research, high-grade ingredients, and advanced technology, you will have the power to stop the broken fat-burning cycle and that is through Leptofix.

How Does The Leptofix Supplement Work?

At least a dozen recent studies have confirmed that the real cause of why people cant lose weight is the broken fat-burning cycle in your fat cells, Dr. Pearson said.

Leptofix works by fixing the broken fat-burning cycle in your fat cells for 1 capsule a day for well over 3 to 6 months.

A capsule a day of Leptofix would save you more money and time than going to the gym, stressing out on what low-carb diet to prepare for next.

According to the researchers of the University of Iowa who analyzed the connection between bacteria, toxins, and fat,

As it turns out, the toxins produced by gut bacteria trigger an inflammatory response in the body, especially inside the fat cells, since thats where the energy from your food is supposed to get stored.

This inflammation in turn prevents fat cells from doing their job properly which means that they cannot process energy correctly, which is exactly what the University of Helsinki researchers have found too. All these then result in stubborn fat and a bigger waistline.

The damaged fat burning cycle from your bodys fat cells inability to transform enough fat into usable energy will just keep on storing as much fat as possible.

Because your metabolism will slow down your metabolism with lower muscle mass from exercise, plus coming off a low-carb diet, without consistency, your body will try to preserve itself by easily encouraging your body to store more excessive fat.

Leptofix works at a cellular level restoring your bodys ability to burn fat correctly, better, and a lot faster versus strenuous exercise and stressful dieting.

Supported by his old friend Chris, studies, experiences, testimonies, and a highly skilled doctor in both traditional and herbal medicine, Dr. Alexander Pearson, Ben Davis, a medical librarian from West Virginia, discovered key ingredients that he, later on, found a way to extract all the powerful nutrients from and put them into easy-to-swallow capsules with the right order and proportions, now known as Leptofix. He described these ingredients and their roles as such:

Dandelion root helps your body burns fat instead of storing it. But more importantly, it has the seemingly magical ability to break the toxic cycle in your fat cells and help reduce hunger cravings. The dandelion root also increases liver function, which flushes toxins and excess water from the belly area and in turn gives you a flatter tummy.

It is also being used to help enhance the immune system, reduce stress, improve sleep, boost energy, lower cholesterol and regulate blood pressure.

This plant has incredible antioxidant properties, reduces blood sugar levels, and helps with type 2 diabetes. This one too can curb hunger cravings and flush toxins out of your fat cells. It is also used to treat intestinal infections, fungal infections, and even arthritis.

An extremely powerful antioxidant that has the capability of lowering cholesterol levels. It also helps with your bodys natural ability to burn fat properly.

This amazing herb can improve metabolic function. Moreover, it has a diuretic effect and removes excessive water, and reduces edema. Dozens of research papers now find this one of the best herbal detox remedies for the gastrointestinal tract.

Plus, as he found out for the other magical plants, this too could curb hunger cravings, break the toxins from your fat cells and repair the fat burning process.

He then added a few key vitamins for fast nutrient absorption:

Vitamin E for cell regeneration and skin rejuvenation.

Vitamin C is to boost the immune system and healthy blood pressure.

And Selenium to help support thyroid health and strengthen hair.

A new generation of weight loss drugs makes bold promises, but who really wins? – Quartz

Posted: June 26, 2022 at 1:57 am

In the months after having her second child, Sarah found herself fed up. The 40-year-old Seattle resident was cutting carbs and sugar, and exercising regularly, but couldnt seem to shed the pounds she had put on during pregnancy. So when an email newsletter mentioned a new weight-loss drug called Wegovy, Sarah decided to give it a try. Eight months later, she is out more than $10,000and down more than 60 lbs.

Wegovy made losing weight almost effortless, Sarah, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, told Quartz. Im not hungry often anymore and it doesnt take any willpower to eat less. I simply dont have any desire to overeat.

Sarah is one of 125,000 US-based patients now taking Wegovy (whose generic name is semaglutide), a member of a new class of weight-loss drugs. These drugs work differently than the appetite suppressants popular among previous generations of dieters. They are also hitting the market at a different moment: one in which people are more eager than ever for realistic, science-based methods for addressing excess weight, even as a growing faction of activists and doctors voice skepticism of weight as an accurate measure of health.

In the mid-1990s, experiments on Gila monster venom found it contained hormones that could help lower blood sugar. That led to the diabetes drug Ozempic, which ultimately went on the market in 2018. People on that drug discovered a funny side effect: They lost weight.

In 2021, that same compound was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the name Wegovy for the express purpose of weight loss. Drugs like Wegovy work in more complex ways than simply suppressing appetite, and promise fewer (though not zero) side effects.

Like Wegovy, many of these drugs were originally approved for other conditions; liraglutide (brand name Saxenda for weight loss) was also originally approved as a diabetes drug (Victoza). In fact, semaglutide and liraglutide work similarly in the body: Theyre known as GLP-1 receptor agonists because they activate receptors for the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, reducing appetite by slowing digestion and the rate at which the body takes up glucose.

Perhaps most important, the new drugs promise significant weight loss. The previous weight loss drugs were just modestly effective, says John Buse, an endocrinologist at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. The average patient would lose 5% of their body weight, in some cases up to 8%. But with semaglutide, he says, weve gotten the kind of weight loss that makes people pay attention: 10-15% of body weight. Thats the average weight losshalf of people are losing more than that. Its a gamechanger in the conversationnow that we have medicines for which a substantial proportion of patients can expect to lose 30 to 50 lbs.

In one 68-week pre-approval clinical trial, patients on Wegovy did indeed lose 14.9% of their body weight on average, compared with 2.4% for people on a placebo. (Although, as several writers and scholars have pointed out, the study was funded by Novo Nordisk, which makes Wegovy.) Given the average weight of trial participants100 kg, or 220 lbs.that meant weight loss of about 15 kg, or 33 lbs.

Other drugs in development have had similar results. In a recent trial for one called tirzepatide from Eli Lilly, more than half of patients lost at least 20% of their body weight50 lbs. in many cases.

This new class of drugs is entering a market that at first glance seems ripe for breakthrough. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 42% of Americans70 million peoplemeet the criteria for obesity (having a BMI of 30 or more). At one point or another, most of those people will try a diet and exercise regimen to lose weight.

But a growing body of research shows that diets are not an effective way to lose weight and keep it off. Obesity is a complex disease for most people, lifestyle modifications, diet, and exercise are just not enough, says Katherine Saunders, a doctor at the Comprehensive Weight Control Center at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of Intellihealth, an app-based platform that brings evidence-based obesity treatment to patients.

In part because of that complexity, bariatric surgery has since 2009 been considered the standard of care for patients looking to lose a substantial amount of weight. But these procedures can be invasive and expensive, and can come with significant and long-lasting complications.

The dearth of other options leaves some patients and doctors excited about this new generation of drugs. Right now, the field is really looking for more efficacy, number one. People will do almost anything to lose weight, says Buse. We have more than just surgery now for promoting substantial weight loss. The most exciting thing is that obesity is on the ropes.

While hopes are high, the realities of taking these drugs can be more complicated for patients. There are often side effectsthe most common for semaglutide and liraglutide are diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea. On Wegovy, Sarah says shes experienced diarrhea so severe that a few times she had to delay her next dose.

Physicians can sometimes gloss over or downplay those effects. But a visit to dedicated Reddit pages for these drugs shows whole communities of patients struggling to adhere to the regimen when theyre feeling sick, and seeking support from a community to understand whether what seems like a severe reaction is normal. (Novo Nordisk did not respond to a request for comment.)

How well a patient can tolerate a drug is something we think about quite a lot, Saunders says. We always start with lower doses and increase gradually as tolerated. Everyone is different. We keep in close touch with the patient and monitor them closely.

And while these new drugs are relatively well-studied, there are still unknowns. They seem to help patients keep weight off more reliably than diet and exercise alone, but those benefits fade after people stop taking the drugs, and patients do often regain weight. There are also questions about long-term effects. In 1997, weight loss drug fenfluramine/phentermine (fen-phen) was pulled off the market after it was found to cause heart problems. More recently, Belviq (lorcaserin), which the FDA approved for weight loss in 2012, was pulled from the US market in 2020 because long-term use was found to increase the incidence of various types of cancers.

Even if a patient does want to go on one of these drugs, she might not be able to. Many patients keen to try Wegovy cant access it at the moment, due to a supply chain issue that its manufacturer doesnt expect to resolve until later this year. Even then, most US health insurers, including Medicare, do not cover drugs like Wegovy, and paying out of pocket can cost thousands of dollars per month. After Sarahs doctor told her she doesnt prescribe Wegovy, Sarah secured a prescription through an online health provider; she pays for it out of pocket.

The lack of insurance coverage is in spite of the fact that the American Medical Association declared obesity to be a disease in 2013. The conversation around insurance coverage needs to be had with insurance companies, but also with employers, says Kimberly Gudzune, the medical director for the American Board of Obesity Medicine. It needs to be seen as an investment in your workforce. The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act, which would expand Medicare to include obesity treatments, has been introduced to US Congress every year since 2012, but has never passed.

Though excess body fat was once considered a sign of wealth or fertility, over the past century a stigma has developed against larger bodies. Today doctors associate excess weight with medical conditions like heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and depression. Studies also show that life is harder when you move through the world in a larger body. Fat people are less likely to be hired for a job, are paid less, are less likely to get married, and are less likely to be happy (though not if theyre living around other fat people). One 2006 study found that 46% of respondents would rather give up one year of life than be obese; 5% said theyd rather lose a limb.

The current state of research makes it impossible to unravel the full complexity of weight and health, but the conversation is starting to accommodate more nuance. Ubiquitous metrics such as body mass index are increasingly understood to be unreliable indicators(though doctors often still use them), and even the language around larger bodies is under review. Many physicians use obese to describe people who have excess weight or a BMI over 30, but activists are shying away from the word. The reasonwe are reluctant to use the words overweight and obesity is that they are made up, they can change, says Tigress Osborn, a fat activist and chair of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.

In fact, some research suggests that fat may have a protective effect on the body. The bodys weight-regulating mechanism is about survival. Its a system with more moving parts than we understand, says Marilyn Wann, a fat activist and author of the book Fat!So? Trying to remove weight from an individual or from the population is like trying to take a sledgehammer to the weatherwe dont know the unintended negative consequences were going to create.

There are signs that in the future physicians may be more accepting of bodies of different sizes. But as weight loss drugs get more effective and more available, those cultural gains for body positivity (or body neutrality, or fat acceptance) may also be called into question.

Overweight patients who come to see Shelly Crane might have an experience theyve never had before. I dont initiate a weight-loss conversation with a patient, says Crane, a family physician at Advocate Aurora Health in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Most weight-loss programs come with more risk of harm than good, she says, and theres not enough evidence that people who do lose weight are healthier in the end.

Crane doesnt regularly prescribe new drugs for weight loss, though she says more patients are coming in and asking for them lately. Instead, she prefers to keep conversations focused on goals of care. Patients say, I know I need to lose weight, and I say, Why do you think you need to lose weight? What would change in your life if your weight was lower? That gives her an opening to talk about health more broadlyhow is the patients sleep? Their diet? Their mobility? I try to stay in my sphere of what Im able to do as a family doctor and really address the root of the health issue as much as I can.

Crane was drawn to this approach by listening to her patients talk about experiencing size discrimination, and by following the work of fat activists such as Ragen Chastain and Aubrey Gordon. Though shes been trained in a more integrative style of medicine, her approach toward body acceptance was also shaped by her discovery of intuitive eating during medical school. Since then, shes been working on deprogramming herself and her colleagues from anti-fat bias.

Crane is part of a burgeoning movement among doctors to improve the treatment of larger patients. For some, that means skipping the dreaded weigh-in, a practice that is somewhat controversial within medicine. Medical organizations like the Association of American Medical Colleges also offer guidelines to reduce anti-fat bias among clinicians.

For doctors, the updated approach at least engenders trust, which can in turn get patients to seek medical care more frequently and improve their overall health. At most, it broadens the definition of what healthy means, and looks like.

Some fat activists see this shift as an important step. The thing we hear most often from the public is, I thought I had this thing, but all the doctor wanted to talk to me about is weight loss, and now the thing is worse, Osborn says. Its progress to have people in the medical establishment recognizing that there are other healthcare concerns besides weight, if weight is a healthcare concern.

The hope is that this evolution continues. Activists want more people, in the medical profession and outside of it, to respect their autonomy. That becomes even more pressing in a possible future filled with weight-loss drugsa future where a person can simply take a drug and stop being fat. The ease with which I could become smallerwhy should I? That should be up to me. Just like, if you believe its a medical disorder, the treatment I choose should be up to me, Osborn says. Like with anything else, if you believe fat is a disorder, we should let people decide whether people will get treated or not.

Fatness isnt a problem to be solved in and of itself. It is not the root cause of all ills, as much as [medicine] would like to think it is, Crane says. We can help people live full, rich lives when we focus on goals of care and not on weight.

Pill to help you lose weight in the works – New York Post

Posted: June 26, 2022 at 1:57 am

This potential new pill could be worth the weight.

Researchers at Stanford University found an anti-hunger molecule, called Lac-Phe, which is normally only produced after an intense workout.

After giving obese mice this molecule, they were discovered to have not only eaten 30% less but also weighed less in the long term. They also had a lower percentage of body fat and improved blood sugar regulation, according to a study published in the journal Nature.

Dr. Yong Xu, from the Baylor College of Medicine, claims that the research could lead to the creation of a fat-fighting pill.

This could lead to the development of a pill that can directly be used to suppress appetite for certain individuals who cannot easily exercise because of other conditions, aging or bone issues, he told New Scientist.

We just filed a patent for hopefully using this knowledge to treat human diseases such as obesity.

This is the latest attempt to get a weight loss pill to consumers. What has mostly been on the market are pills and injections meant to trim body fat or drugs, such as a diabetes medication that is being prescribed off-label, to curb hunger.

Scientists are still conducting research to determine what Lac-Phe can do to the brain besides suppressing hunger. Lac-Phe was said to be responsible for almost 25% of the anti-obesity effects of exercise. It was seen to have no effect when given to lean mice.

Despite only being tested on animals, the researchers are suggesting their results would be the same for humans.

As of 2020, the obesity prevalence for adults was 41.9% in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Randy Jacksons Health and Weight Loss Journey: From Diabetes Diagnosis to Bypass Surgery and 100 Pounds Down – Us Weekly

Posted: June 26, 2022 at 1:57 am

Taking charge of his well-being. Randy Jackson made a pledge to live a healthier lifestyle after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2002.

Its a curse to be saddled with a disease thats life-threatening and that you cant completely get rid of, though you can certainly manage it, the former American Idol judge wrote in his 2008 book, Body With Soul. But its a blessing to get that huge wake-up call. After that day in the ER, when my doctor burst the bubble Id been living in, I couldnt lie to myself anymore. Right then and there, I began my journey toward better health.

Jackson, who weighed 350 pounds at the time of his diagnosis, underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2003, a procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes part of the digestive system so less food is absorbed. Since having surgery, the bass player has maintained a 100-pound weight loss, but it wasnt always easy.

In 2008, he told WebMD about the temptations he faced returning to American Idol after the procedure. After the show, everybody hangs out and eats and drinks. There are all kinds of sandwiches plus chips, cheeses, cookies, cakes, candy, beer, wine, he said. Despite the abundance of junk food on set, Jackson shared that the other Idol judges were a source of positive encouragement. Simon [Cowell] is always saying, We are ordering lunch, bring Randy a Dunkin Donut and 12 milkshakes. We joke about it, but they are also very supportive.

The record producer isnt one to completely cut out certain foods he opts for moderation instead. Never say, I will never have another piece of chocolate because it wont happen. And as soon as you say never, there is a binge coming, he told WebMD, adding that he sates his sweet tooth with the occasional chocolate with frozen yogurt.

After getting his health on track, the Journey bassist wanted to help others do the same. He founded Unify Health Labs in 2019 to do just that. In a blog post on the Unify Health Labs website, Jackson said his celebrity status gave him access to health specialists that others might not get to meet.

I was able to talk with top health experts: physicians, nutritionists, fitness experts, biologists, and more, the session musician wrote. They helped me a lot on my journey. And I wanted to share this expertise and information with as many people as possible.

Jackson added, Ive truly been blessed by life, but, next to my children, getting healthy was the best thing that ever happened to me.
