Episode 2223 notes
Today we learn how to lose weight with GLP-1 medications, without losing muscle mass. Our expert guest is Ron Hoyler, a Diabetes Educator, Executive healthcare and diabetes technology leader at St. Luke’s Hospital System in Overland Park, Ks.
Ron will explain the history of GLP-1s from the 1990s till now, and the difference between the versions for diabetes vs the versions for weight loss. You know the names: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, just a few of the powerful once-weekly injectable medications divided into two drug pairs based on their active ingredients and FDA approvals.
This is season 22, Episode 23 of America’s Healthcare Advocate. I’m Cary Hall.

Episode 2228 notes Shannon Schneller knows why most people don’t come in with mild hearing loss and wait until they have moderate hearing loss. “But moderate hearing loss responds very well if it's treated it's just so much easier if we can catch it mild to moderate than if the loss goes to severe hearing loss”. She will tell us why you could lose more of your ability to discern speech the longer you wait and the hearing aid will be less effective once loss has gone on too long. Today, we explore the Hearing Aide Experience , and if you think you’re too young, the fact is, untreated hearing loss can start as early as 35 years old.
