On World Obesity Day: we’ve built the on-ramp to anti-obesity medications - but is what comes next an off-ramp or a cliff?

Anna Meadows is joined by Professor Naveed Sattar in the latest episode of The Big Picture Podcast to explore what happens when treatment stops and whether the behavioural support around GLP-1s is strong enough to make weight loss durable. From reduced ‘food noise’ and the window for behaviour change, to the realities of living in an obesogenic environment, this conversation explores what it really takes to make weight loss last and why rapid regain matters for patients and health systems alike.

Helen Bennis, Senior Director at Ipsos chats with Dr Stephanie Anne Baker, Reader at City University of London whose research focuses on how rumours, false, and misleading information travels online with a particular focus on health and wellness, and, Dr Camilla Stokholm, GP and author of ‘What your doctor eats’.

In this second of the two part series they discuss:

- What harm inaccurate, unethical and unregulated health information can cause

- How to identity trusted sources (and those masquerading as trusted sources)

- Why everyone should be evaluating their information diet (and how to do that).

• The reasons why we have seen a proliferation of online mis / dis information in recent years
• The strategies employed to gain trust online and how this has changed over time
