Disappointed to hear Dr. Cooper’s feelings regarding compound glp-1s. I’m no longer listening and I won’t suggest listening to anyone else.

I have learned so much from this podcast and I love the focus on science. I just listened to another podcast on nutrition and fighting the diet culture. The amount of advertising and self promotion made it hard to get through the content. So, I wanted to thank you for the gift of Fat Science: no advertising, no self promotion! Just science that helps you feel better! I really appreciate that!

As I’ve started my GLP1/GIP journey, listening to this podcast has brought me so much information and comfort. Hearing what has physically happened to my body over the years of bad diet decisions coupled with the genetic hand I have been dealt has really put things into perspective for me and has helped me understand how the medication I am taking is helping me fix those things, not just lose weight. I have recommended this podcast to so many people recently because this information is not out there in the mainstream and I really wish it would!

You do realize that compounded GLP-1s have been transforming people’s lives? That we are not all idiots? That most of us can’t afford $600-1300 a month for medication? Why don’t you identity the real enemy. No longer listening as you’ve lost my respect.

Until, I began struggling to grasp any actual “what to do” directions/information, except taking a GLP-1. There is no real solid direction or even tippers as to how to help yourself if you’re overweight/obese except for signing up for a lifelong GLP-1. So many people are overweight and obese that want to lose weight and can’t but also can’t or don’t want to take these medications. So, does Dr Cooper not have any recommendations? Heck, in one “Mailbag” episode, a listener asked what tests/labs she can ask for to understand if she has metabolic damage. Dr. Cooper danced around on a few labs that could indicate issues but then she said there was no test invented yet to show the damage. However, they do a great job of breaking the stigma about difficulty losing weight and they also discuss these medications in a positive light-which is helpful for so many using these meds. I encourage the name to be changed from Fat Science to “1 Doctor and Friends talk about GLP-1s”. Because the science is just lacking, on the show, at least. I’d rather hear Dr Cooper talk with expert guests who can give more scientific insight on our bodies, metabolism, and GLP1 meds versus hearing the host and Andrea babble about how amazing Dr. C is and their anecdotes. Don’t get me wrong, I adore this trio for their passion and entertainment. Forgive me…does Dr. Cooper have an agenda to advertise her clinic? Frustratingly, I read (on YELP) that her clinic doesn’t take insurance. It’s maddening hearing a doctor who definitely sounds concerned and kind - yet, her own practice fails to HELP those with proper health care insurance. I wish this show the best but with no solutions for the people unable to justify the long commitment and cost of these medications and the show ONLY peddling these medications- I need to take a break. Not getting anywhere.

I love this show! I am so grateful for Dr. Cooper’s practical approach to the scientific explanations of why we get fat. She is an incredible wealth of knowledge. Her steady way of sharing that knowledge feels like the calm port in the stormy seas of the diet and weight-loss industry. I never get the feeling that she, Mark, or Andrea are trying to sell me anything, so I trust them. As someone who has tried EVERY health fad and weight-loss trend over more than three decades, I love how calmly sensible this podcast is. Thanks for the great work you three do!

They spoke about compounding as though we do it because we have a choice. Someone else needs to start an honest podcast about this topic without their elitist attitudes.

Despite their tagline, this podcast definitely has an agenda. They also act naively uninformed about just how bad & how unavailable weight loss health care is in the US. The hosts’ idealistic goals might be admirable if they had any relation to reality. But, alas, these episodes are like listening to a lecture in medical school: all theory and no practice. So in the end this is just another doctor lecturing us without any accessible solutions.

Excellent to hear science and learn an entire new approach to life. As a mental health therapist this has completely changed my approach to my clients, my friends, family and myself.

I listen to a half hour of conjecture and nonsense about compounded GLP-1s—a bunch of rubbish from Big Pharma stooges. Nothing of value here.

I love this podcast - there’s a ton of great science content mixed with health info, and it makes all the mysteries of weight issues and management make sense. Also a great medium between the weight loss-obsessed society at large, and the fat acceptance movement that I know leaves some people with excess weight feeling frustrated.

Too much telling you what not to do without giving good information on what you should do. I do like the show and will likely continue to listen but please help us out with what we should do.

Lots of pertinent & practical tips and info to help us be aware of so many heath-related conditions that can be understood and dealt with rationally and with knowledge. The show doesn’t induce panic but presents steps to better health. Compassionate and fascinating!

This show reminds me of the daily American Public Radio Show Marketplace about the business world. Why? Because it’s not a subject I would normally gravitate towards, but every episode is more interesting than the last. You learn a lot, and even if it’s not specifically applicable to your circumstance, it’s never not interesting. Well done!

I have been a client of Dr. Coopers for 5 years now! 5 years ago I had been to multiple trainers, dietitians, and doctors and I had hit a dead end with all of them. I was exercising, eating very healthy and restricted, and my health was declining and weight was rapidly increasing! I found doctor Cooper and she was the first doctor who actually knew what was going on and did not put me on another diet! Since being a client I have improved my levels and am not in the risk zone anymore and my weight has stabilized. I am grateful for her science and encourage others who have met dead end after dead end to listen to this podcast and read her book!

I have been a dietitian for almost two decades. I have been consistently frustrated with other medical providers view of obesity and appalled at the treatment. I really appreciate this perspective and looking deeper at the physiological causes of eating and weight issues. I don’t always agree with everything mentioned but I have been impressed by the science and conversation. It has made me think and be a better dietitian.

Information is presented in such a relatable and understandable way - love this podcast!

The information is great and the conversation around it is incredibly helpful. It’s smart and relatable and funny. And very valuable.

I’m jazzed about this podcast and loving the episodes. I’m always drawn to understanding the WHY and this provides that in a technical yet conversational way. Well done!
