Obesity costs the UK £100 billion a year, yet stigma still clouds the conversation. Science shows it’s more than willpower—genetics which drive up to 80% of weight gain, and new treatments are changing the game. With weight loss medications proving effective and the government backing their use, is it time to rethink our approach? More than one in ten women in the UK already use GLP-1s for weight management, but 31% hesitate due to stigma — highlighting the urgent need to shift public perception. Joining Adam Cox today is pharmacist Kevin Joshua from Juniper Technologies UK Ltd, who will discuss the future of obesity treatment and its impact on public health.

When alcohol becomes a need, it's not uncommon to look for ways of scaling back that desire. There are nausea-inducing medications which may help, but Adam Cox looks for how you might trigger such an aversion through hypnosis. There is, of course, another alternative in the run-up to Easter: try giving it up for Lent! It's a way to test your conscience's ability to cope with a temptation which may be quite compelling ... so Adam's hypnosis session might be one of a number of options here.

When you think of someone who could really benefit from your outlook on life — in this case, losing weight — you might describe this approach as 'remote-controlling': it can be effective, as you can look at the issue afresh whereas the target of your good wishes has to contend with all the other aspects of their life. Adam Cox suggests in this episode trying to do this in reverse — imagining someone doing it for you, in order to establish that fresh perspective for yourself.

Is an addiction a disease or a habit? Adam Cox considers that it's more of the latter, and takes the example of Cannabis to show how it can be broken: that there are other ways of coping with a psychological dependence, particularly when the initial reasoning behind adopting the action has disappeared.

If you have a craving, almost an addiction, to sugar, this episode could be for you. Although natural food contains sugar which, with its combination of fibres and other natural features, is good for you, the food industry has become adept in processing and refining sugar into extreme forms. Adam Cox might help you withdraw from its excesses.
