Olivia PalmerGUEST
But what fascinates me about GLP-1s really is what it's shining a light on in terms of behaviour.

Olivia PalmerGUEST
So the behavioural science fascinates me because I think it lets us ask questions that are really quite simple and it lets us ask the questions that we feel we should already know the answers to and we're a bit too frightened to ask.

Olivia PalmerGUEST
Nobody is asking questions and nobody has the answers, really, although lots of people have started to have them.

Um, how do you think we got here, and what is problematic about it?

Olivia PalmerGUEST
It's a big question, um, and it's something that I think a lot about and often.

Olivia PalmerGUEST
Um, you know, and I'm not a medical professional, so I'm a health psychologist.

Olivia PalmerGUEST
I'm a chartered health psychologist, I'm registered with HCPC, I'm a registered nutritionist, but I'm not a doctor.

Olivia PalmerGUEST
But some of the questions I always have for medical professionals who are presented, for example, with a late teens girl with PCOS who goes to the doctor for support, and I've heard of this anecdotally and quite recently, and they get told that, "We're not gonna pursue any diagnostic with you until you've lost weight.
