Description: GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are being hailed as game-changers, but are they really safe, effective, or sustainable?   Dr. Vanita Rahman joins Chuck Carroll to unpack the data behind these billion-dollar drugs, highlighting alarming side effects, minimal long-term benefits, and industry conflicts of interest. With 129 million Americans eligible and a price tag of $1,600 per month, the stakes are massive.   This episode explores a better way forward—using food as medicine and empowering people with knowledge, not prescriptions.   Plus, Chuck opens up about his own weight loss surgery—and the one thing he wishes he knew beforehand. — — SHOW LINKS — — Ozempic Risks and Letter https://bit.ly/OzempicRisk — — EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE: Longevity and Muscle Building GreenFare Organic Restaurant Where: Herndon, VA When: May 28, 2025 Tix: https://bit.ly/ERTixGFMay2025 — — — NHA Conference Where: Cleveland, OH When: June 26-29, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://bit.ly/NHAtix2025 — — — International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC When: August 14-16, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
