Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Hormonal Decline - Addressing Menopause and testosterone Deficiency with Obesity with Dr Remon Eskander

Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Hormonal Decline - Addressing Menopause and testosterone Deficiency with Obesity with Dr Remon Eskander

Do your patients struggle to lose weight despite strict dieting and exercising? In this My Health Academy episode, obesity management expert Dr. Remon Eskander explains the complex interplay between hormonal decline and metabolic syndrome.

Discover how menopause and functional hypogonadism in men drive the accumulation of visceral fat, creating an inflammatory "vicious cycle" that further suppresses estrogen and testosterone. Learn why the traditional "eat less, move more" mantra fails many patients and how to reframe obesity as a metabolic disease during your consults.

Dr. Eskander shares practical strategies for synergistically combining hormone replacement therapy—like transdermal estrogen or testosterone gel—with GLP-1 and GIP medications to tackle visceral fat and metabolic dysfunction. You will also get actionable tips on managing medication side effects like nausea and navigating tricky patient requests, such as the social media-driven "click method" for Mounjaro.
