We spoke with Zachariah Reitano, the CEO of Ro, Z, a telehealth service that specializes in various areas, including obesity care. Our discussion focused on the role of GLP-1 medications in weight loss and the challenges patients encounter in accessing these medications.
We delved into the recent media attention surrounding GLP-1s and their potential impact on sexual intimacy, as well as the conflicting reports about increased or decreased sexual desire. This emphasized the need for further research.
During our discussion, we also emphasized the importance of Ro's GLP-1 Supply Tracker, a tool that helps patients monitor medication availability during supply shortages. Furthermore, we talked about Ro's insurance coverage tool, which is designed to assist patients in understanding their coverage options and the clinical criteria for GLP-1 medications.
Z provided valuable insights into the current landscape of GLP-1 therapy, the challenges patients face, and the resources offered by Ro to support their journey.

This episode explores the complex nature of insulin resistance and the role of GLP-1 therapies in its management. We delve into the concept of a "healthy size," challenging the traditional approach of solely focusing on obesity through diet and exercise. Dr. Mattea Rentea, a renowned obesity specialist, sheds light on the limitations of these methods and the importance of addressing the underlying physiological and also genetic factors contributing to obesity.

We discuss the role of inflammation in obesity and how GLP-1 therapies can help mitigate its adverse effects. Additionally, we examine the integrated approach of the Rentea Clinic, which combines both mental and physical health support to achieve sustainable weight loss and improved overall well-being. By understanding the multifaceted nature of obesity, individuals can adopt effective strategies to manage their weight and improve their quality of life.

We have two community guests today and one of them is a doctor! Jaimie is a trained chef and a father of triplets that has lost 170 lbs and counting leveraging Ozempic and a Keto diet. Jamie is a stay-at-home Dad and has a large following on TikTok where he documents his journey. He’s even had Rosie O’Donnell join his live stream before to discuss GLP1s and obesity! Jamie and Dr. Catherine Toomer both discuss stress-induced obesity and battles with sugar. Dr. Catherine Toomer tells us the story of her struggle with obesity, heart failure, and type 2 diabetes, and how GLP1s have helped save her life. She discusses the science behind GLP1s, how they are not a new class of medication, and why they help treat both obesity and type 2 diabetes. Both of our guests talk about how to have a rich, balanced life by “picking your poison” and meal planning that fits your lifestyle.
