Although many of your patients may think that increasing protein is the key to fat loss and successful weight management, there’s a consensus in the medical community that patients should be aware that there can, indeed, be too much of a good thing. “I feel like protein intake, although important, is grossly overemphasized in weight loss, and a strong focus on protein can miss other critical goals necessary for weight loss — chief among them [being] caloric restriction but also fiber intake and adequate nutrients,” said Matthew Badgett, MD, internal medicine physician at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. “I discuss protein but advise to not overdo it.” While protein is one of the key macronutrients our bodies need to build muscle and repair tissue, patients should know of varying sources. “Lean proteins are a great option and can come from both animal and plant-based sources like lentils, peas, and other high-protein ...
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in early life, including during gestation and infancy, results in a higher preference for sugary and fatty foods later in life, according to an animal study being presented Sunday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are substances in the environment (air, soil or water supply), food sources, personal care products and manufactured products that interfere with the normal function of the body’s endocrine system. To determine if early-life exposure to these chemicals affects eating behaviors and preferences, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study of 15 male and 15 female rats exposed to a common mixture of these chemicals during gestation or infancy. “Our research indicates that endocrine-disrupting chemicals can physically alter the brain’s pathways that control reward preference and eating behavior. These results may partially explain increasing rates of obesity around the world,” ...
