PRICES INCREASE - SPECIAL EPISODE

Paddy and Belinda jump back on the mic for a “microdose” episode after a whirlwind week in obesity care across Ireland and the UK. With sudden price hikes on weight loss medications sparking panic, confusion, and sleepless nights for many, they break down what’s really happening, what misinformation to avoid, and—most importantly—where to turn for reliable guidance.

They discuss:

• Why Eli Lilly’s price changes are hitting patients so hard in Ireland and the UK

• The dangers of clickbait and social media “advice”

• Why your own healthcare provider is the only person to guide you through options

• The dangers of the black market

• Their personal reflections on maintenance, mindset, and progress beyond the scale

This one’s about reassurance, clarity, and remembering—you still have options.
