In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today! Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com) Could Zepbound revolutionize the way we treat sleep apnea?" Sleep apnea affects millions of people worldwide, and for the longest time, treatment options have been limited to devices like CPAP machines or surgical interventions. Now, Zepbound, a groundbreaking treatment, offers a new approach specifically designed for obstructive sleep apnea. This innovation brings fresh possibilities for managing a condition that has long been challenging to treat. To dive deeper into this development, I’ve invited Dr. Jeremy McConnell, an expert with a unique background that bridges sleep medicine and obesity medicine. This is the perfect opportunity to explore this transformative treatment with someone who truly understands its potential. We also discuss: CPAP Intolerance Breaking Down Sleep Apnea Key Signs and Questions for Identifying Sleep Apnea The Health Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea Effective Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea How Weight Loss Impacts Sleep Apnea Zepbound as a Treatment for Sleep Apnea Dr. McConnell is a diplomate of both the American Board of Obesity Medicine and the American Board of Family Medicine.

In this episode, I welcome Dr. Angela Fitch back to explain why obesity should be seen as a chronic disease that requires long-term management, not just a temporary challenge. She discusses the risks of using medications like Wegovy and Zepbound intermittently without proper guidance. Dr. Fitch, a physician and the immediate past president of the Obesity Medicine Association, brings years of expertise to the conversation. She also served on the Clinical Management Committee of The Obesity Society and is currently the Chief Medical Officer and founder of Knownwell, where she’s helping reshape obesity care.

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today! Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com) Starting medications like Zepbound & Wegovy can feel overwhelming without the right information. I understand that most doctors prescribing these medications don’t have the luxury of spending 20 minutes explaining what patients can expect. That’s why I created this episode—to provide you with the insights you need. In my practice, I frequently guide patients through starting medications like Zepbound and Wegovy, offering them a clear understanding of what to expect such as: Who the GLP-1 medications are for Who Should Avoid GLP-1 Medications Why Long-Term Use with GLP-1 Medications is needed Side Effects that you might encounter How to minimize Side Effects A brief guide to Injections What to Eat While on Medication The role of Exercise with this GLP-1 medication This episode serves as a more personal way to communicate that information, helping patients feel more prepared and informed. So, here’s a condensed version of the conversation I have with patients regularly. It’s like you’re sitting down with me, receiving the same advice I’d give in person. Share this with someone else who is taking these medications. For prescribers, it could make your life a little easier by providing a resource you can share—whether it’s this episode—so you can offer more depth without needing to cover everything in a short clinical visit. Listen to the full episode for a deeper dive into each topic and how it can make your experience with these medications smoother.

Look around at those who seem to age gracefully—patients, family members, or friends. What do they have in common? They’ve made movement a way of life. Whether it’s golfing, walking, playing tennis, or simply staying active around the house or neighborhood, they’ve embraced intentional movement as a non-negotiable part of their routine. Science backs this up: regular exercise doesn’t just keep us moving; it reduces chronic diseases, eases pain, and, most importantly, helps us stay functional as we age. The key? Purposeful and consistent activity. In this episode, I’ll break down why this is so critical and share practical ways to weave intentional movement into your life for a healthier, more vibrant future.

It’s not the first choice for most people these days, but that doesn’t mean it’s without merit. It played an essential role in weight loss and health when options were limited, and for certain people, it can still offer real benefits.

So, let’s dive into what the ketogenic diet is, how it functions, and its advantages and drawbacks. I’ll also talk about who might find it beneficial. You might have given it a try or know someone who has. It’s a diet that comes and goes in popularity, but its value is worth a closer look.

How can you tell if it’s going too far? With the rise of weight loss medications like Zepbound and Wegovy, this question is more important than ever. While these medications can lead to significant weight loss, it’s crucial to understand what healthy weight loss looks like and how to monitor your progress. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but recognizing the signs of excessive weight loss and knowing how to gauge your health is key. In this discussion, I’ll also briefly touch on the right calorie intake with these medications. I even have a dedicated episode diving even deeper into this question: How many calories should you eat (Especially if on Wegovy or Zepbound!) Additionally, I talked about the importance of maintaining muscle during weight loss. Losing muscle can slow metabolism, weaken strength, and impact bone health over time. That’s where GLP Strong comes in! Designed for patients on weight loss meds, this program helps preserve muscle mass while you lose weight.
