Dr. Craig Primack: Head of Weight Loss, Hims & Hers

When I sat down to record this episode of the GLP-1 Collective Podcast, I knew we were in for something special. Dr. Craig Primack, MD, FACP, FAAP, MFOMA, is a leader in obesity medicine, and honestly, he has so many accomplishments that I had to list them in bullet points.

I’m sure I’m still missing a few, but here’s just a glimpse:

* Co-founder of Scottsdale Weight Loss Center in Arizona, a multi-location practice serving thousands.

* Served on the board of the Obesity Medicine Association from 2010 through 2024.

* President of the OMA from 2019 to 2021.

* Frequent media guest and national speaker on obesity care.

* Co-author of Chasing Diets and widely published in the field.

In addition to his own practice, Dr. Primack works as the Head of Weight Loss at Hims & Hers to help expand access to comprehensive care for those who might not otherwise be able to access it.

White Paper: The Key Takeaways

The main reason Dr. Primack joined me was to share data from a new white paper from his work with Hims & Hers. This first-of-its-kind analysis gives us a real look at how a more personalized approach to care through digital health is changing obesity medicine and what it means for patients right now.

Full disclosure: I’ve never been a Hims & Hers patient, I’m not an affiliate, and I wasn’t paid to share this information or conduct this interview. But without telehealth, I know I’d still be stuck in the exhausting cycle of ‘eat less, move more,’ so I’m forever grateful for telehealth as a whole and glad I had the chance to learn about these findings and share them.

Here are some of the key findings:
