This week, host Jaclyn London, RD, sits down with renowned New York City-based cardiologist, internal medicine and concierge medicine physician, Dr. Erica Jones, MD, for an in-depth, behind-the-scenes, honest conversation about obesity medications and the alarming rise in the rate of cancer diagnoses among young adults. Why GLP-1’s, why now? Dr. Jones explains the cardiovascular benefits that make GLP-1 medications a desirable tool in modern medical practic; the benefits vs. risks of taking these medications for weight-loss and management; the ideal population who will benefit from taking GLP-1’s; how these medications are altering patients' food tastes and eating patterns, and how permanent they are; the most common (and uncommon) side effects of GLP-1 medications, their severity, and Dr. Jones’ tips for predicting & understanding patient tolerance. Then, we get into the long-term considerations for use of GLP-1’s, including a critical discussion on the rapid & widespread adoption of GLP-1’s, long-term risks of using these medications (what we know and what we don’t know yet…), and the need for comprehensive evaluation and medical nutrition therapy. We also dive into the media coverage about obesity medications: How is the celebrity endorsement of GLP-1’s impacting everyday patients? Dr. Jones shares her perspective on that, and in what ways the media portrayal of GLP-1’s has influenced interest and/or the cultural discourse about weight-loss. Jaclyn shares her perspective on the efficacy of Medical Nutrition therapy as a part of the clinical picture for patients adopting GLP-1’s as an intervention for obesity, and they conclude on this topic by sharing considerations for long-term use– including what the packaging insert says vs. what’s happening in real life physicians’ offices. Next, Jaclyn & Dr. Jones dive into the concerning data from the American Cancer Society about the rising rates of cancer diagnosis in young people; Princess Catherine of Wales’ cancer diagnosis at the age of 42; the contributing factors that may be playing a role in this concerning statistic; new modalities for screening; lifestyle related risk factors for specific types of cancers; new & emerging technologies for cancer treatment; balancing what’s new and available to us as screening tools with creating & cultivating feelings overwhelm, anxiety & fear; the pros and cons of full-body MRI screenings, and Dr. Jones’ most effective strategies for determining what interventions are right for most.

Today’s episode is a replay of part one of my two episode series on 2023 trend forecasting in food, nutrition & preventative health, which originally aired in December, 2022. This episode specifically deep-dives on three key areas of opportunity for consumer wellness brands. I get into why I think doing each of these three things can help brands, businesses, products, and services to not only survive the forthcoming economic downturn, but actually thrive during a challenging & competitive period. We discuss: What is "wellness" and why is it so difficult to define? Our current healthcare model (& why it's more closely aligned with "sickcare") Trepidation among health professionals to discuss weight in a conversation about preventative health The relationship between food and health (and how this impacts everything else we do in the name of "self-care.") Redefining our current understanding of self-care Plus, three ways to recession-proof a wellness brand, including: Focus on your unique value proposition (intentionality) vs. ideology Provide services and/or products that eliminate barriers to behavior change Provide opportunities for customers to build meaningful connection Thanks for listening to The Business of Wellness with Jaclyn London, MS, RD. __ 🎙️Follow The Business of Wellness on Apple Podcasts & leave a 5-star rating & review 🎙️Hire me to consult before you invest in or get to work on that “better-for-you” product 🎙️Follow me @jaclynlondonrd *Advice provided on this podcast should not replace medical advice provided by your physician. | — | ||||||

| 11/9/23 |  How the Rise of Ozempic Will Affect the Food Industry | Today I’m deep-diving on all things GLP-1 agonist medications and forecasting their impact on the CPG food and beverage industry for 2024 and beyond. Specifically, I discuss: How GLP-1’s change individuals’ food preferences, overall intake, and alter taste perception How the rise of GLP-1’s as the pharmaceutical industry’s “blockbuster” might affect the food industry in the short and long-term, and how food companies could start to approach this topic as they prepare their product roadmaps for the future What are some specific concerns among individuals taking GLP-1’s as it relates to food and beverage products, and their own personal tolerance to specific foods in light of medication side effects? GLP-1’s and early satiety: We discuss how the medications create feelings of early satiety– what this means for practitioners, how this affects individual patients, and how the MNT for GERD and early satiety may be beneficial when considering / seeking to understand this patient population more effectively Alcohol, coffee, single-serve convenience foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, tomato-based products, eggs, veggies and fruit, and high saturated fat, high refined carb food products– what do all of these products have in common, and which ones of these will be better tolerated by individuals taking GLP-1’s vs. not Side effects of GLP-1’s that affect diet and lifestyle, and how these translate to CPG foo and beverage industries and product roadmaps/financial forecasting My most fascinating finding of all: How tolerance to GLP-1 medications may be promoted through nutrition education & adopting diet & lifestyle shifts BEFORE STARTING the medication vs. referring to a dietitian/receiving nutrition education AFTER starting a GLP-1. I talk about why the lack of nutrition education & counseling may be affecting medication tolerance and ultimately, affecting a patient’s ability to adhere to the medication long-term due to diet-related side effects. The foods & beverages NOT AFFECTED by GLP-1’s that still demand attention for the sake of helping individuals achieve better cardiometabolic health. 🎙️Follow The Business of Wellness on Apple Podcasts & leave a 5-star rating & review 🎙️Hire me to consult before you invest in or get to work on that “better-for-you” product 🎙️Follow me @jaclynlondonrd 🎙️Krispy Kreme article from Forbes 🎙️Are GLP-1’s the root cause of consumer shopping shifts?
