About the show
Trusted answers about GLP-1 medications, weight loss and more
The Plus SideZ is a weekly podcast about GLP-1 medications, obesity treatment and metabolic health, hosted by Kim Carlos and Kat Carter. It began with an online community of people who had been prescribed a GLP-1 and given almost no guidance about what came next.
Guests include doctors, obesity medicine specialists, endocrinologists, researchers and policy experts explaining what the evidence says, alongside patients describing what treatment is like in practice.
