What does it mean to start GLP-1 treatment later in life… after years of trying to make weight loss work?

In this episode, Kim and Kat talk with Dr. Lindsey Ogle, an obesity specialist, and Deb Cooperman, an obesity care advocate and content creator, about starting GLP-1 treatment in your 60s and why the experience can feel different this time around.

As more adults over 60 explore GLP-1 medications, Deb shares her story openly, from decades of diet culture and early messaging about weight to grief, food noise, and navigating obesity treatment later in life. And we also discuss the upcoming coverage of GLP-1s for obesity on Medicare (and maybe Medicaid) in July 2026. Dr. Ogle helps connect those experiences to the science, including expectations, side effects, protein, muscle preservation, and what support can look like as we age.

What we cover:

- GLP-1 weight loss over 60
- Food noise and obesity beyond willpower
- Diet culture and lifelong messaging around weight
- Grief, stress, and emotional eating
- Protein, muscle preservation, and aging on GLP-1s
- Side effects and realistic expectations
