Ragen Chastain is back for part two with us this week. This time, we continue our "is being fat bad for your health?" conversation by answering your questions about GLP-1s. We chat about the current hype around weight-loss drugs, how they "work" (or don't), and the truth about their risks and side effects.
If you haven't listened to part one of my conversation with Ragen, head back to episode 116. It's a really good one, and sets the stage for our discussion about weight-loss drugs in this episode.
Ragen Chastain is a speaker, writer, researcher, Board Certified Patient Advocate, multi-certified health and fitness professional, and thought leader in weight science, weight stigma, health, and healthcare. Utilizing her background in research methods and statistics, Ragen has brought her signature mix of humor and hard facts to healthcare, corporate, conference, and college audiences from Kaiser Permanente and the Diabetes Education Specialists National Conference, to Amazon and Google, to Dartmouth, Cal Tech and canfitpro. Author of the Weight and Healthcare newsletter, the book Fat: The Owner's Manual, co-author of HAES Health Sheets, and editor of the anthology The Politics of Size, Ragen is frequently featured as an expert in print, radio, television, and documentary film. In her free time, Ragen is a national dance champion, triathlete, and marathoner who holds the Guinness World Record for Heaviest Woman to Complete a Marathon. Ragen lives in Oregon with her fiancée Julianne and a rotating cast of foster dogs.
PS: I highly recommend signing up for Ragen’s Weight and Healthcare newsletter.
