Episode 22 - Weight Loss, Physical Health & Longevity: Facts VS Fads
Hosts: Dr. Rob Jones & Shannon
Episode Summary
In this week’s episode of the Get Better, Not Older Podcast, Dr. Rob Jones and his wife Shannon, a dietitian, dive deep into the most searched topics in their fields—weight loss and physical health. The discussion centers on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, shedding light on their intended uses, history, and the reasons behind their recent surge in popularity for weight loss. Shannon emphasizes the necessity of coupling these medications with lifestyle changes to prevent weight regain and maintain long-term health benefits. Dr. Rob discusses the importance of proper exercise, particularly focusing on glute strengthening over hip flexor exercises and the benefits of strategic movement for pain relief and overall health. Both highlight the importance of adopting a holistic approach to health that includes proper diet, sustained exercise, and long-term behavior change.
