There is an element to the GLP-1 agonist story that is getting very little attention. What is happening with apparently normal weight individuals who seek these wonder drugs? Join us as we grind up the beans on this enlightening episode of The Health Mastery Café where we explore the complex world of GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, not just as a weight-loss solution but through the lens of body image and mental health.
In this special episode, we're honored to have Dr. Yalda Safai, a board-certified psychiatrist and seasoned TV contributor, who will shed light on the intriguing effects of these medications on individuals with normal BMIs. Despite their ineligibility based on the criteria, the allure of weight loss drives a significant interest across various demographics. Dr. Yalda Safai discusses the psychological implications and societal pressures that might drive individuals towards these medications.
Dr. Dave addresses clinical considerations, spotlighting groups for whom GLP-1 agonists might pose risks. Furthermore, he passionately advocates against the stigmatization of low BMI individuals who express interest in these drugs and addresses the controversy surrounding the current supply shortages.
This episode promises a deep dive into the ramifications of weight loss drugs beyond the scale, fostering a conversation that juxtaposes medical insight with societal impacts. Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone considering these treatments, or just intrigued by the topic, this discussion will offer valuable perspectives on an increasingly relevant subject.
Join us, as we unravel the narratives behind the headlines and explore the intersection of health, society, and self-perception.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
