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.

About Florence Comite, MD

Dr. Comite began her medical journey at Yale University School of Medicine and continued at Yale with a residency in medicine. She completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology (multidisciplinary training incorporating pediatrics, gynecology, and andrology) at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. She remained at the National Institutes of Health as a senior clinical research associate before joining the Yale faculty as an associate professor in endocrinology. During her 25-year faculty tenure, Dr. Comite founded and directed Women’s Health at Yale.

In 2005, she launched her bespoke medical practice, Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity, in New York City and subsequently expanded offices to Palo Alto and Miami Beach.

Through her medical practice and decades of clinical research, Dr. Comite recognized that all humans have inherited a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism (a glucose disorder leading toward diabetes), which is accelerated by aging and the natural decline of the hormones testosterone and estrogen, which begins around age 30.

Dr. Comite’s podcast delivers the truth about your health—that age-related disease begins early in life at the cellular level. By slowing and even reversing the biological aging process, we can stay active and in great health for life. She interviews renowned physicians, researchers, and thought leaders, offering surprising insights and practical tips that listeners can use to improve their health trajectory.
