Weight and Health: It’s Complicated

In episode 2, we’re asking: What does it mean to be healthy? We’ll talk about how to find a doctor who treats you with respect, and we chat about GLP-1s from the perspective of a doctor and a patient. Dr. Melanie Jay will share her experience as co-director of the NYU Langone Comprehensive Program on Obesity. And writer and editor Samhita Mukhopadhyay is here to discuss her firsthand experience going on and off GLP-1s. Plus, we’ll talk about whether or not we should ditch BMI altogether.  The Body Collective series is sponsored by WeightWatchers. The content in this podcast should not be taken as medical advice.
