#108: NUTRITION - Weight Loss Injections, Insulin Sensitivity and Weight Loss

This is a quick fire episode after I was 'challenged' about the importance of insulin sensitivity for weight loss over simply being concerned with energy balance. I discuss weight loss injections like semaglutide and the diabetes medication, metformin.

Welcome to Not Another Nutrition Podcast!

This is not just another nutrition and fitness podcast; I will be discussing a wide variety of topics including business, careers, parenting and self-improvement, alongside plenty of discussion on a range of nutrition topics! 

I try to communicate in such a way that is easy for anyone to understand, and with more of a 'coffee shop chat' vibe than a lecture so don't expect it to be academic fact after fact!!
