Rudy Eberwein, MD: The One-Two Punch Against Obesity

A decade ago, the idea of a drug that could tackle obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease sounded like pure science fiction. Today, thanks to peptides like Ozempic and Zepbound, it's a reality and a lifeline to the more than 90 percent of Americans who have metabolic disease. In this episode, Dr. Comite discusses GLP-1s and other "booster shots to preventive medicine" with Rudy Eberwein, MD, founder of A New You Wellness in Miami, who specializes in weight loss, hormone optimization, and longevity. This episode answers many of the questions you may have about improving your healthspan to match your lifespan.

You'll learn…

·      * That Eberwein believes only 7 percent of the U.S. population is metabolically healthy and Dr. Comite has "never seen a completely healthy human being."

·       * Why doctors Comite and Eberwein believe GLP-1 medications are to healthcare in the 21st century as antibiotics were to saving lives in the 20th century.

·      * That obesity is not a result of a lack of willpower.

·      * About the medication combo that represents the "best one-two punch" against metabolic disease.

·      * About the "exposome," and how it negatively impacts health.

·      * Why Dr. Comite calls muscle "the organ of longevity."

·      * The fears of getting prostate cancer on testosterone therapy are unfounded.

·      * About "iron overload" and the "sweet spot" for iron and ferritin levels.
