    Common Medications Linked To Weight Gain

    ***DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS WITHOUT TALKING WITH YOUR DOCTOR*** Weight gain after starting a medication is common, real, and often missed in routine care, so we walk through which prescriptions and OTC drugs are more likely to contribute and why it varies by person. We also share how to ask for a full medication review and what safer, more weight-neutral alternatives you can discuss with your prescriber.  • why you should never stop certain medications abruptly and when tapering matters  • how a “brown bag” medication visit works and why we recommend it yearly for 6+ meds  • using metformin alongside a weight-promoting medication as an option to discuss  • mood medications that may contribute to weight gain and why Paxil stands out among SSRIs  • gabapentin and pregabalin for nerve pain plus seizure risk with abrupt stopping  • steroids like prednisone, weight gain risk, and why to monitor fasting glucose or A1C  • type 2 diabetes medications tied to weight gain and why newer GLP-1 and SGLT2 options matter  • beta blockers that may cause weight gain and weight-neutral blood pressure alternatives  • hormones, birth control, HRT, and the importance of individualized choices  • OTC Benadryl and how long-term use can add subtle weight gain  If you live in Missouri, I would love to help you through this. And you can schedule an appointment through my telehealth clinic, MissouriMetabolic Health.com.  If you found this information helpful, please share with a friend, a family member, or a colleague. We need to do all we can to combat the dangerous misinformation that is out there. Please subscribe and write a video.

    Can You Be Healthy At Every Size?

    We take on a controversial question: is obesity a disease, a risk factor, or simply a normal human variation. We explain metabolically healthy obesity, why fat location matters more than BMI alone, and how small, sustainable weight loss can restore metabolic health for many people. • obesity stigma versus obesity as a medical disease • why not everyone with obesity needs treatment • visceral fat as the higher-risk fat type • fatty liver disease as an early warning sign • organ fat links to insulin resistance, sleep apnea, kidney strain, and heart failure risk • subcutaneous fat and why liposuction does not improve metabolic function • practical ways to estimate fat distribution, including waist circumference and DEXA • how metabolically healthy obesity can shift over time • the “tipping point” concept and individualized risk • why a 10% weight loss can improve labs and symptoms • finding a doctor who personalizes obesity medicine care If you found this information helpful, please share with a friend, family member, or colleague.

    Strength Training For Metabolic Health With Julie Przybyla, RD

    If you’ve ever eaten “so healthy,” kept calories low, worked out hard, and still watched the scale refuse to budge, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. We sit down with Julie, a registered dietitian and personal trainer, to explain what can happen when chronic undereating becomes your default. We dig into metabolic adaptation, why constant restriction can make your body more efficient, and how symptoms like low energy, hair loss, poor sleep, and muscle loss can be signs that your plan is underfueling you. We also go straight at the exercise mindset that diet culture sells: workouts as punishment, or movement as something you do to “make up” for food. We share simple ways to rebuild a healthier relationship with physical activity, from short walks after meals to routines that fit real life. Then we zoom in on the cornerstone habit for long-term metabolic health: strength training. Julie breaks down why women often fear getting bulky, why muscle is tied to longevity and blood sugar control, and what a realistic resistance training schedule looks like alongside cardio. Finally, we get practical about protein, progressive overload, recovery, and sleep. You’ll hear why eating protein alone isn’t enough without a true strength stimulus, why the old “post-workout window” isn’t as strict as we once thought, and why carbohydrates can be a key performance tool, not a nutritional villain. If you want a sustainable approach to fat loss, body composition, and weight maintenance, this conversation will help you think clearly and act strategically. Subscribe, share with someone who’s stuck in the diet cycle, and leave a review so more people can find evidence-based metabolic health guidance. -------------------------------------------------- Julie Przybyla, MS, RD, CPT is a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and owner of Vibrant Nutrition & Fitness, where she helps clients improve metabolic health, build strength, and create sustainable habits without extreme dieting.

    The Impact Of Weight In Pregnancy

    We finish our conversation on how obesity and metabolic dysfunction shape pregnancy outcomes and why a mom’s metabolic health can influence a baby’s health for life. We break down healthy pregnancy weight gain ranges, explain why pregnancy increases insulin resistance, and share practical steps for safer prenatal and postpartum health.  • obesity rates before pregnancy and why it raises risk for mom and baby  • recommended pregnancy weight gain by pre-pregnancy BMI and when most gain should happen  • risks tied to excessive gestational weight gain including gestational diabetes, hypertension, preeclampsia, clots, and C-section  • normal pregnancy changes in blood volume, heart rate, blood pressure, and clotting  • why pregnancy increases insulin resistance and how the pancreas compensates  • how high blood sugar affects mom’s future type 2 diabetes risk  • how gestational diabetes can affect baby size, delivery risk, newborn low blood sugar, and lifelong diabetes risk  • why family planning and effective birth control support healthier pregnancies  • treatment paths before pregnancy including obesity medicine, medications before conception, and bariatric surgery timing  • pregnancy strategies including nutrition, low-impact activity, prenatal screenings, and dietitian support  If you found this information helpful, please share with a friend, family member, or colleague.

    Pediatric Obesity With Dr. Lisa Tritto, MD

    We talk with Dr. Lisa Tritto about why pediatric obesity is a chronic, biology-driven disease and how shame-based advice keeps families stuck. We share how we evaluate kids and teens, where mental health and ADHD fit in, and how we think about treatment options from lifestyle support to modern anti-obesity medications. • why pediatric obesity needs a disease-based model, not willpower narratives • how environment, genetics, stress, and family systems shape weight and health • what first visits look like, including parent and teen questionnaires and screening for eating disorders • the ADHD-obesity connection, including impulsivity, dopamine-seeking, and sleep disruption • metabolic complications we commonly see, including insulin resistance, prediabetes, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, anxiety, and depression • how we decide on medication, including Wegovy for ages 12 to 17, Zepbound for 18 and up, and Qsymia as an accessible option • setting expectations for long-term treatment and why early intervention can change outcomes • why we do not set rigid weight goals and instead focus on health, function, and a healthier relationship with food If you found this information helpful, please share with a friend, family member, or colleague. We need to do all we can to combat the dangerous misinformation that is out there. Please subscribe and write a review.

    Food Aversions on GLP-1 Medications

    One day eggs taste fine, and the next day the smell alone is a hard no. If you’re taking a GLP-1 medication and you’ve noticed sudden food aversions, you’re not imagining it and you’re not alone. We talk through what a true food aversion is, why it can feel so intense, and why it’s different from GI side effects like nausea or vomiting that need to be managed with your prescriber.  We also dig into the surprising ways GLP-1 therapy can change taste and food reward, from dulled flavors across sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami to the opposite experience where sweetness becomes almost too strong to tolerate. For many people, this leads to less interest in sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol, fewer processed foods in the cart, and more whole foods day to day, which can support weight loss and better metabolic health. But we don’t gloss over the hard part: when aversions hit protein foods like meat or eggs, meeting your protein needs can feel suddenly complicated.  You’ll hear practical, patient-friendly strategies to work around protein aversions by rotating sources (fish, poultry, and other options), slowing titration when needed, and building a support team that includes a registered dietitian. We also discuss the emotional side of taste changes and how talk therapy can help if food has been a primary source of comfort or enjoyment. Finally, we explore the “pause” these medications can create and how it can help you break habits like nightly dessert or reflex snacking and eat with more intention.  If this helped you, share it with someone navigating GLP-1 food aversions, then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find trustworthy, evidence-based metabolic health guidance.
