Hormones, Obesity & Medical Weight Loss | The Science Behind Weight Struggles

For far too long, obesity has been treated as a personal failure instead of what science increasingly recognizes it to be: a complex chronic medical condition influenced by hormones, metabolism, genetics, stress, mental health, and biology.In this episode of The Boakyewaa Glover Show, I sit down with two incredible medical experts:• Prof. Josephine Akpalu — Endocrinologist & Diabetologist• Dr. Abigail Donkor — Pharmacist & Medical Weight Loss SpecialistTogether, we unpack:• the hormonal science behind weight gain• insulin, cortisol, estrogen, leptin & metabolism• menopause, stress & chronic dieting• the stigma and emotional toll of obesity• GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro• myths, side effects & realistic expectations• and what a compassionate, science-based approach to weight management should actually look likeThis is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on the show because obesity is not simply about discipline or motivation. It is deeply connected to biology, access, mental health, and long-term care.#Obesity #Hormones #MedicalWeightLoss #MentalHealthAwareness #Wellness
