In today’s podcast, we speak with Dr. Loren Fishman, author of the powerful book Yoga for Weight Loss. A Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation doctor based in New York City, Fishman explains how yoga can serve as a metabolic driver for healthy and sustainable weight loss and body optimization.    Fishman also cogently points out that yoga produces a similar hunger-reducing biochemical effect in the body to GLP-1 agonist drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro–without the side effects associated with those medications.   Before earning his medical degree, Dr. Fishman notably studied for one year in India with the legendary yoga master BKS Iyengar in the late 1960s.   ***   With this episode, Elizabeth's brother Rob McGann joins the podcast as the Producer and Co-Host of Drop the Weight.   Rob is an accomplished multimedia writer, journalist, marketer and documentary filmmaker, and conducts the interview with Dr. Fishman.   ***   SHOW NOTES   00:00 - Introduction 01:40 - 1960s to 2020s: doubling obesity rate in America 02:40 - main drivers of an overweight culture: advanced agriculture and aggressive marketing 03:45 - enough to make everyone obese three times over 04:40 - powerful animal instinct to eat 05:51 - not simply quieting the mind; yoga acts on a stretching reflex shared by all mammals 06:52 - useful yoga poses that promote weight loss 08:20 - hunger-reducing effects similar to GLP-1 weight loss drugs, without scary side effects 08:55 - other yoga benefits: better posture, balance, range of motion & strength; reduced anxiety 10:20 - muscle strength a key factor for longevity 11:40 - Iyengar yoga a good place to start 12:55 - working with BKS Iyengar as a student in India 15:10 - parting words with the yoga master: “You only rent your body!” 15:40 - yoga promotes self-knowledge and self-respect 16:55 - Rilke: “You must change your life” - life as a process of continuous change 19:16 - Ozempic as a specific example 20:14 - the “beautiful” PGC1-Alpha molecule 21:40 - yoga stimulates the mitochondria, the “blast furnaces” of metabolism on a cellular level 22:30 - spiritual benefits of yoga   Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann: Coaching Website: http://www.ElizabethMcGann.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgann Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellness LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgann Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann   ***   You can learn more about Dr. Loren Fishman, his medical practice and his 10 published books using the links below:   https://www.manhattanphysicalmedicine.com/our-practice-keene   https://kripalu.org/presenters-programs/presenters/loren-fishman   https://www.amazon.com/stores/Loren-Fishman/author/B001IQWLMA?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true   Dr. Fishman is currently conducting a breakthrough study that uses a combination of yoga and botulinum toxin to successfully treat the effects of scoliosis.

GLP-1 medications have been a lively topic of discussion nationwide for the last six months. Many voices have touted drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro as a new "miracle" weight loss cure. Meanwhile a handful of experts have raised important questions about the safety of such treatments.   In this thought-provoking interview, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst offers a stunning cost-benefit analysis of taking GLP-1 agonist medications in the long and short terms.   While there is no doubt that these medications can be highly effective in helping people drop significant amounts of weight, Hurst cogently argues that the net benefit and costs should be carefully considered before one undergoes any course of treatment.   Dr. Hurst is a board-certified preventative cardiologist and notable author of the WebMD Heart Health Blog. In 2022 he launched The Healthspan Podcast, where he shares insights from his work at the Mayo Clinic and his own HealthspanMD practice based in Phoenix, Arizona.   SHOW NOTES   00:00 - Introduction 01:12 - GLP-1 agonists originally diabetes medications 03:45 - later discovered to have remarkable weight loss benefits 05:00 - “terrible” history of weight loss medications 06:45 - unrecognized costs, not just financial 09:30 - financial cost 10:00 - gastrointestinal and physiological side effects 11:40 - “muscle as youth,” 40% lean muscle mass loss concerns 13:30 - drawbacks of a “forever” medication 15:00 - studies show about ⅔ of weight regained; people with only 5% body weight to lose are mostly heavier after treatment 16:30 - a “fast start” to body optimization 17:45 - strategies for tapering on and tapering off 20:40 - be cautious where you get your medications and supplements from 21:28 - where this is going long term 22:40 - importance of a comprehensive approach 24:30 - not a solution, but an “additive” to other treatments for people with a lot of weight to lose (20% or more body weight) and high risk 26:15 - healthspanmd.com, healthspan podcast   ***   You can learn more about Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, his medical practice and his podcast using the links below: https://www.healthspanmd.com/ https://www.instagram.com/healthspanmd/ podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/57im0ie2ypxPJtpc2noeQA   ***   Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann Coaching Website: http://www.ElizabethMcGann.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgann Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellness LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgann Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann
