In recent years, we have seen tremendous growth not just in the popularity of anti-obesity medications, but also in the medications themselves, how effective they are, how many there are. What exactly has changed during this rapid evolution? How safe and effective are these medications today? What challenges still exist in using them? To help answer these questions, host Aaron Lohr speaks with Gitanjali Srivastava, MD, professor of medicine, medical director of Vanderbilt Obesity Medicine, and founding program director of the Obesity Medicine Fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dr. Srivastava presented at the Endocrine Society’s Obesity Fellows Conference in September 2025. The title of her presentation was “Pharmacological Approaches to Treating and Understanding Complicated Obesity.” Listening to this episode can earn you 0.5 ABIM MOC points and 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credits.
