    The Future of Obesity Treatment: Exploring GLP-1s and Weight Loss Injections | Shaw Somers Part 2
    Jan 13 2026
    Get ready to dive into the world of weight loss injections and the truth behind them! Join Mel as she chats with the brilliant Shaw Somers, who breaks down the ins and outs of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. These injections have taken the health world by storm, but what do they really do, and are they safe? Shaw shares his expertise on the evolution of these drugs, their side effects, and the importance of proper medical guidance. Ever wondered about the criteria for getting these treatments? Or how they stack up against surgery? Shaw tackles these burning questions and more, all while keeping it real about the challenges of obesity and the stigma surrounding it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding GLP-1 Medications: GLP-1s, originally developed for diabetes treatment, have emerged as effective weight loss injections. Safety and Side Effects: While GLP-1 medications are generally safe, they can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and gallstones. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to understand the risks and benefits tailored to individual health needs. Eligibility Criteria for Treatment: To qualify for GLP-1 injections, individuals typically need a body mass index (BMI) over 30 or a BMI of 28 with obesity-related health issues. Long-Term Commitment and Costs: Weight loss injections can be expensive, often costing between £200 to £300 per month. It's important to consider the long-term financial implications and explore whether surgical options might be more cost-effective in the long run. The Role of the NHS in Obesity Management: The NHS faces significant challenges in addressing obesity, which is a major health crisis. KEY MOMENTS "Obesity is probably the major health challenge for our generation and the next generation in terms of the nation's health." "No one's ever chosen to be really, really overweight or have really severe metabolic illness. No one chooses to have type 2 diabetes because they've put on three stone." "It's about education. Teaching kids what is food, how to eat, that sugar is not a food." "If you're going to be on this for the next 10 years, you might as well have an operation because it's half the price and you don't have to do injections all the time."

  • Taking Action Against Weight Regain: Strategies for Lifelong Success

    Taking Action Against Weight Regain: Strategies for Lifelong Success
    Jan 6 2026
    Weight regain doesn’t happen overnight — it sneaks up on you. That quiet shift in habits. Skipping meals. Grazing. Eating on autopilot. Using food to get through a tough moment. Before you know it, clothes feel tighter and the familiar fear starts creeping in. This is an honest, no-nonsense look at how weight regain actually begins — not with one bad decision, but with lots of small ones that feel harmless at the time. There’s no blame here, and no shame. Just awareness, reflection, and a reminder that regain isn’t failure — it’s feedback. If that “here we go again” feeling sounds familiar, this is a gentle nudge to pause, reset, and reconnect with the habits and support that help keep weight off for the long haul. You’re not broken — and you’re not on your own. Recognise Sneaky Weight Regain: Weight regain often happens gradually and can be unnoticed until it becomes significant. It's important to be aware of subtle behaviour changes that may lead to weight gain. Mindful Eating: Eating mindfully is crucial. This includes being aware of when and how you eat, avoiding distractions, and taking smaller bites to help control portion sizes and improve satisfaction. Monitor Your Scales: Regularly weighing yourself can help you stay accountable. Avoiding the scales may indicate you're avoiding confronting your weight regain. However, don't obsessively weigh yourself multiple times a day, as this can lead to negative feelings. Emotional Awareness: Be conscious of using food as a coping mechanism for stress or emotional challenges. Recognising when you fall into a mindset of "I'll sod it" can help you address underlying issues before they lead to weight regain. Physical Signs of Regain: Pay attention to physical signs such as tighter clothing or avoiding social situations due to anxiety about food choices. These can be indicators that you need to reassess your habits and take action before the situation worsens. KEY MOMENTS "When we've lost a lot of weight and we start to regain, it's because our weight has become sneaky. It starts creeping in through the back door of our behaviour changes." "Have you found that you are skipping meals? Or, even worse maybe, skipping meals and then overeating later?" "When we eat, we need to eat mindfully. We need to sit down at a table and just concentrate on eating our food." "If you've started avoiding social situations, if you have gone out and bought a bigger size, big warning sign." "There is never a better time to take action than now. So let's get onto it." TIMESTAMPS [00:03:15] Birthday cake and weight regain. [00:05:12] Drinking empty calories.
