In this episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light, Dr. Stefano Sinicropi sits down with Dr. Terry Simpson — surgeon, educator, and podcaster — to cut through the noise on obesity, GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, and the future of patient care.
Dr. Simpson explains why obesity is driven by the brain, not just diet, why GLP-1s may replace bariatric surgery for many patients, and how science-based conversations are more critical than ever.
