Why Losing Weight the Wrong Way Can Be Dangerous
Podcast: Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William DavisPublished On: Sat Jan 03 2026
Description: If you lose weight by reducing calories--a diet, bariatric procedure, or pharmaceutical like a GLP-1 agonist--you will indeed lose weight at first. But long-term, unhealthy changes in health will develop: eventual weight regain, increased risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia, frailty. And thare are now sufficient data to tell us that you also cut your life short by several years. The key: NEVER engage in any of these methods. If you have, there are steps you can take to compensate and specifically target the most unhealthy forms of body fat, restore youthful muscle, restore basal metabolic rate and thereby absolve yourself of these unhealthy outcomes.
