In this episode of Aggressive Salad, host Abby Langer is joined by brothers Dr. Carl and Dr. Spencer Nadolski. The Nadolski brothers are medical professionals specializing in lipidology, obesity medicine, internal medicine, endocrinology, and family medicine. They discuss their careers and contributions to obesity management, including Spencer's role as the medical director for Weight Watchers and Carl's creation of a new endocrinology and obesity department in Michigan. The conversation delves deep into the use of GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic for weight loss, detailing their mechanisms, safety, and effectiveness compared to traditional approaches like bariatric surgery. They also touch on the psychological and physiological aspects of obesity, such as genetic factors and the concept of 'food noise.'
