The Curbsiders Internal Medicine Podcast

About
Explore how GLP-1 meds can help or harm eating disorders with Dr. Laura Bridge



When weight-loss meds meet eating disorders: GLP-1 drugs are reshaping medicine,  but could they also be fueling disordered eating? Join Dr. Laura Bridge as we unpack the risks, red flags, and how to keep “healthy” from turning harmful.  Also, how to approach restrictive eating disorders, bulimia, and binge eating disorder as a PCP.
