Well done

I’m a doctor who treats patients with obesity and I appreciate this informative podcast and especially how much fun these two brothers have doing it. I wish I could have a podcast with my brother. It’s particularly hilarious how regretful they are about being so morally scrupulous for not getting any money from pharma.

Great information

So refreshing to hear an informative podcast from actually practicing clinicians! As an NP working in weight management I love this podcast.

Great evidence based information!

I am a big “fan” of Dr. Spencer. I almost hate to call it that because I hate celebrity, but if I am going to support someone why not a truth telling clinician. Dr. Karl, enjoy your Big Pharma lunches. I think the minuscule freebies often benefit staff more than providers depending on how the provider approaches it. If people don’t understand that providers can’t be compensated for prescribing medications, the AMA or some other professional organization should get ahead of that. The ABA needs to do similar things for attorneys.

I do hate that the publice understands so little. I think they don’t want to. PubMed is available to anyone, and that could be good or bad. However, Gil Carvallo (loved Dr. Spencer’s episode) has a great deal of information on the basics of understanding metaanalysis.

Keep up the good work!
