In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Jason Itri, Founder of Longevity Health Clinic, about how GLP-1 therapies extend beyond weight loss into cardiometabolic optimization. We examine microdosing strategies, insulin resistance, inflammation pathways, and sustainable habit formation through precision prescribing. Dr. Itri highlights practical clinical applications for long-term metabolic health. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Lower dose GLP-1 strategies can improve control over dietary habits by reducing impulsive food decisions and supporting consistent behavioral patterns over extended periods."

Meet the guest: Dr. Jason Itri is a physician and the founder of Longevity Health Clinic in Virginia, specializing in cardiometabolic health, hormone optimization, and GLP-1 therapies. His work integrates biomarker testing with root-cause physiology to improve metabolic outcomes and reduce long-term disease risk. His clinical focus aligns with advancing precision approaches in obesity medicine and metabolic care.

In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Catherine Toomer, founder of Total Weight Care Institute and a family medicine physician specializing in metabolic disease. The discussion examines long-term clinical experience using GLP-1 therapies, including dosing strategies, metabolic regulation, and patient-centered obesity care. She also explores insulin resistance, brain signaling, and emerging therapeutic applications. Listen now on all major platforms!

“Appetite regulation is strongly influenced by brain signaling pathways, and correcting metabolic signaling often changes hunger perception and eating behavior without relying on willpower alone.”

Meet the guest: Dr. Catherine Toomer is a family medicine physician and founder of Total Weight Care Institute, with more than fifteen years of clinical experience using GLP-1 therapies to address metabolic disease and obesity. Her work focuses on correcting metabolic dysregulation through evidence-based medical strategies and personalized care.

In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Caroline Apovian, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Co Director of the Center for Weight Management and Wellness at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, about the evolution of obesity treatment. We discuss why obesity is a chronic disease, how GLP-1 based therapies have changed clinical outcomes, and how they compare with lifestyle intervention and metabolic surgery. Dr. Apovian also addresses stigma, access barriers, and the risks of cosmetic use. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Stigma surrounding obesity has forced clinicians to repeatedly prove that treating obesity also prevents cardiovascular disease and diabetes."

Meet the guest: Dr. Caroline Apovian is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Co Director of the Center for Weight Management and Wellness at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. A founding leader in obesity medicine, her research focuses on adipose tissue inflammation, cardiovascular risk, metabolic surgery, and pharmacotherapy for obesity.
