Oldson Medical Weight Loss

08/21/2026

Not all weight loss medications are created equal, and picking the right one isn't as simple as choosing whatever's trending.

In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD walks through the framework she uses in her practice to decide which weight loss medication is right for each patient. She starts with other health conditions like sleep apnea, heart disease, diabetes, migraines, and fatty liver disease, then moves through safety considerations, cost, and how much weight loss someone actually needs. Whether someone prefers a shot or a pill is always a consideration.

Using a real patient case, Dr. Lisa breaks down how GLP-1 medications like Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), and other meds (like Qsymia and Foundayo) get matched to the right person. She also explains why medication for excess weight is legitimate, evidence-based chronic disease treatment, and not "cheating." This medication episode wouldn't be complete without an update on retatrutide, the "Triple G," next-generation medication making headlines with over 28% weight loss in recent trials. Listen now!

Did you know that major life changes, like starting college, changing jobs, moving to a new city, getting married, going through a divorce, or retiring, are actually some of the most powerful opportunities to rebuild your health habits from scratch? In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson breaks down the Habit Discontinuity Hypothesis, a research-backed concept that explains why our brains are uniquely open to behavior change during life transitions, and how to use that window before it closes. You'll learn why your old habits are so hard to break when nothing in your life changes, what the research says about the freshman year of college and weight gain, and four concrete strategies for using any major life transition to build the eating, exercise, and sleep habits that support a longer, healthier life.

Weight loss medication is evolving fast, and in this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down three major developments you need to know.

First, the brand-new Zepbound KwikPen: what it is, how it works, how much it costs, and why it's a game-changer for people using tirzepatide.

Next is Wegovy HD at 7.2 mg, the newly FDA-approved higher dose of semaglutide that delivers weight loss results approaching those of bariatric surgery. Importantly, she'll tell you about the most common side effects you need to know about before you ask your doctor about this or other weight loss meds.

And finally, a quick update on the oral Wegovy pill, the first-ever GLP-1 medication approved for weight loss that doesn't require an injection.

Dr. Oldson covers the efficacy, pricing, availability, and side effects for all three options, and reminds us that excess weight is a chronic medical condition deserving of evidence-based medical treatment, not judgment.

Whether you're currently on a weight loss medication, considering one, or just want to stay informed (because EVERYONE is talking about this!), this episode gives you everything you need for a smarter conversation with your doctor and to help you decide if one of these medications might make sense for you.

If the first thing you think about when trying to lose weight is everything you can't have, this episode is for you. Dr. Lisa Oldson introduces one of her favorite mindset shifts for sustainable weight loss: Add Before You Subtract. Instead of leading with restriction, deprivation, and a list of forbidden foods, Dr. Lisa explains why focusing first on adding more protein, fiber-rich fruits & vegetables, and whole foods is not only more effective, it's backed by science.

You'll learn how the "crowding out" effect works, why restriction-first thinking triggers your brain's scarcity response, and how a simple abundance mindset can transform your relationship with food.

If you're tired of white knuckling your way through diets that don't last and leave you feeling deprived, this episode will show you a SMARTER and more sustainable path forward for weight loss and better health.
