Modern Metabolic Health with Dr. Lindsay Ogle, MD

Korrie was suffering with overwhelming thoughts about food every seven to ten minutes. This wasn’t a willpower problem, it was a gut-brain biological problem. We invited her to unpack what changed when a GLP-1 finally quieted that background noise—and what went wrong along the way. From a rough start on semaglutide to finding a sweet spot with tirzepatide, her path shows how dose, molecule, and support can make or break outcomes.

The story you’ve heard about weight—try harder, eat less, move more—misses the underlying biology. We expose the pathophysiology of obesity as a chronic, relapsing disease, showing how hormones, brain circuits, and adipose tissue actively defend a higher set point. That’s not a character flaw; it’s biology shaped by human history and amplified by modern food, stress, and sleep patterns. Once you understand weight defense and homeos...

Diet trends promise quick results, but your biology has a different plan. We unpack why hunger surges, metabolism adapts, and ultra-processed foods make willpower a weak strategy, then chart a clearer path built on insulin-aware eating, steady satiety, and sustainable routines. Along the way, we put intermittent fasting, keto, low-fat, vegan and vegetarian, and gluten-free claims under the microscope, separating marketing from mech...

We explain how to tolerate GLP-1 medications without miserable side effects while still reaching weight and metabolic goals. We share dosing strategy, real-world tips, and when to switch medications or choose other tools.

• GLP-1 approvals for diabetes and weight management
• Mechanism behind nausea, constipation and reflux
• Start-low, go-slow dosing with patient control
• Long-term benefits for heart, kidneys...

What if the loudest voice in your head—the one negotiating every bite—suddenly went quiet? That’s the turning point Deb describes as she moves from a lifetime of diets and rebound weight to genuine relief on a GLP-1. We dig into what “food noise” feels like day to day, why puberty-era dieting can seed decades of struggle, and how treating obesity as a chronic disease—not a moral test—opens the door to lasting health and peace of mi...

Confused by the headlines about weight loss medications? We break down the four questions everyone asks: Are they safe, do they work, do you qualify, and how long should you stay on them? Drawing on years of family and obesity medicine practice, we lay out practical, patient-first guidance that puts your health at the center, not hype.

We start with safety and the GLP-1 class used for weight management, addressing common G...

We unpack the new FDA‑approved oral semaglutide for obesity and cardiovascular risk reduction, explaining how it compares to injections, how to take it correctly, and who should or should not choose the pill. We also cut through supplement hype, detail pricing access, side effects, and practical routines that drive results.

• Indications and differences from prior oral semaglutide
• Why SNAC matters and supplements fai...

We explain what metabolic syndrome is, why it predicts heart disease, and how to treat the root causes with practical steps and targeted medications. We share the five criteria, simple lifestyle wins, medication options like metformin and GLP-1s, and how to monitor progress.

• definition of metabolic syndrome and why it matters
• the five diagnostic criteria using waist circumfirence, blood pressure, glucose, triglycer...

Feeling full on a few bites and still missing your protein? That’s the trap many GLP‑1 users fall into, and it quietly chips away at muscle, energy, and metabolic resilience. We zoom in on a simple fix: make protein and fiber the headline of every meal, then use pre‑made shakes as a smart assist when time or appetite is tight.

We start by setting a practic...

Tired of “protein” bars that read like candy? We put eight popular bars under a metabolic microscope and lay out a simple plan to choose options that actually support appetite control, muscle maintenance, and better blood sugar—especially if you’re on a GLP-1 and struggling to hit your daily protein. No hype, just clear criteria: 20 grams of protein for a true meal...

Ever wonder why some people keep weight off for years while most drift back within months? We dug into the National Weight Control Registry and our clinic playbook to map the real-world habits that turn short-term results into long-term health. No fads, no quick fixes—just the daily moves that quietly stack wins: food choices that reduce hunger, walking that protects muscle and mood, and morning routines that steer the day before c...

We walk through how weight loss changes care plans for thyroid disease, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, reflux, and sleep apnea. The goal is simple: treat the weight, then tailor the meds so you stay safe, feel better, and reduce long-term risk.

• reasons to monitor conditions during weight loss
• how thyroid doses shift with body weight
• adjusting insulin and sulfonylureas to prevent lows
• using CGMs to gui...

Chasing a number on the scale can feel like progress until it collides with your real life. We unpack a better path: choosing a goal weight that protects your health, fits your routines, and holds up for the long haul. With clear examples and practical guardrails, we show how to move beyond BMI and toward metrics that actually predict metabolic well-being.

We start by demystifying BMI—why it can be useful for trends yet mi...

We explore how non-exercise activity thermogenesis boosts daily calorie burn and why small, frequent movement can unlock stalled progress. We share step targets, practical tactics for desk jobs, and the wider metabolic, heart, joint, and mental health gains.

• how NEAT fits into total daily energy expenditure
• examples of daily movement that raise NEAT

PCOS isn’t just a “hormone problem.” It’s a metabolic condition with real-world effects on cycles, skin, hair, weight, and fertility—yet it shows up differently for every woman. We dig into how genetics, lifestyle, and environmental triggers intersect, then explain the exact diagnostic criteria without the confusion that birth control can add. From there, we map practical pathways that meet you where you are, whether your top goal ...

We explain how common birth control methods affect weight, why LARCs are often the most reliable and weight neutral choice, and how tirzepatide can reduce pill effectiveness during dose changes. We also lay out safer options for higher BMI, emergency contraception that still works well, and practical backup strategies.
