Hey Rockstars! I have another amazing guest with me today. Please give a warm welcome to Dr. Christle Guevarra, DO. Dr. Guevarra is the traveling team physician for US Figure Skating and runs a telemedicine private practice. She frequently travels across North America to teach fitness professionals about GLP-1 medications and their integration into weight management practices. During her Family Medicine residency at Crozer Health in Pennsylvania, she was named Resident of the Year and later completed her Sports Medicine fellowship at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, working with Division I football teams, professional athletes, and recreational competitors.

Some topics from today’s episode include:

⭐️Food noise refers to the mental chatter about food and cravings.

⭐️GLP-1 medications can help reduce food noise and manage weight.

⭐️Personal experiences with food noise can vary greatly among individuals.

⭐️The hypothalamus plays a key role in regulating hunger and food noise.

⭐️Lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term weight management success.

⭐️There is no shame in using medication for weight management if needed.

⭐️Understanding the science behind GLP-1 medications can empower individuals.

⭐️The ideal candidates for GLP-1 medications include those with a BMI over 30 or with comorbidities.

⭐️It's important to have open conversations with healthcare providers about weight management options.

⭐️Judgment and shame should be removed from discussions about weight loss and medication.
