What Every GLP-1 User Needs to Know (with Dr. Robert Kushner)

GLP-1 medications have changed what is possible in obesity treatment, but the medication is only part of the story. In this episode, Elizabeth speaks with Dr. Robert Kushner, a pioneer in obesity medicine and author of The Six Factors to Fit, about how to turn weight loss into better health and lasting change.

Dr. Kushner explains how GLP-1s reduce hunger, cravings, and food noise, why metabolic adaptation makes weight regain so common, and why lifestyle support still matters even when the medication is doing much of the biological work. He also introduces six common weight-management patterns, from the “easily enticed eater” and “fast pacer” to the “self-critic” and “all-or-nothing doer,” with practical ways to work with each one.

This conversation offers a clear, compassionate framework for using GLP-1s more safely, protecting muscle and nutrition, and measuring success far beyond the number on the scale.
