We have to be more careful with our language and ask more clearly - are we aiming for weight loss or fat loss? As they say, it starts at home, so I am going to be using fat loss more often. Because that is actually the main objective, to lose fat, especially toxic, inflammatory visceral fat. But how do we do it? Is it lifestyle medicine or the new GLP-1 agonists or a combination? To explore that and more, I talk to metabolic health expert Dr Saremi. Dr. Adonis Saremi, MD is a triple board-certified expert in Obesity Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Clinical Informatics, with a Master’s in Applied Physiology and medical licensure in California. He completed his residency at UC San Diego and has served as an Assistant Clinical Professor at UC Irvine, as well as a consultant for the Medical Board of California.
