Show Notes
In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Ken Fujioka, Clinical Professor of Medicine and Director of the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic, about the clinical evolution of GLP-1-based therapies. He covers next-generation dual and triple agonists, dose titration, nausea management, and long-term weight maintenance. Dr. Fujioka also examines oral alternatives, safety concerns, and real-world prescribing considerations. Listen now on all major podcast platforms!
"Combining multiple satiety hormones allows greater weight reduction by targeting complementary brain and gastrointestinal pathways involved in appetite regulation."
Meet the guest: Dr. Ken Fujioka is a Clinical Professor of Medicine and Director of the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic, specializing in obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease management. His work focuses on clinical trials, patient-centered weight treatment, and GLP-1-based therapies.

In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Anders Fink-Jensen, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Copenhagen and a consultant psychiatrist, about the emerging role of GLP-1 receptor agonists in addiction treatment. We examine the clinical observations that initiated this research, findings from a randomized trial of semaglutide for alcohol use disorder, possible effects on craving, dosing considerations, and the evidence still needed before broader clinical use. Listen now on all major platforms.
In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Michelle Gordon, a physician board-certified in obesity medicine and CEO of Thrive Span Medical, about obesity care for women in midlife. We discuss how GLP-1 therapy fits into long-term disease management, why slower weight reduction, adequate protein, resistance training, hydration, and fiber matter, and how hormonal changes may affect weight, cognition, and metabolic health. Dr. Gordon also explains when bariatric surgery remains appropriate and why obesity should be treated as a complex chronic disease. Listen now on all major platforms.
In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Jon Campbell, Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke University, about the changing science of GIP and glucagon. We examine GIP physiology, glucagon signaling, weight-independent metabolic effects, multi-receptor agonism, and variability in treatment response. Discover how emerging pharmacology could shape more precise obesity treatment. Listen now on all major platforms.
In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Ashley Koff, registered dietitian, founder of The Better Nutrition Program, and bestselling author of Your Best Shot, about weight health in the GLP-1 era. She explains why body composition matters more than total weight, how digestion and hydration shape nutrition outcomes, why protein advice must be personalized, and how clinicians can support more sustainable metabolic health.

In this episode of The GLP-1 Podcast Show, I speak with Dr. Timothy Garvey, Endowed Professor of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, about complication-centric care for Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease. We examine current obesity guidelines, medication selection according to complications, what the key unmet clinical need is in obesity care, and the role of second-generation GLP-1 medications in type 2 diabetes.
