Weight Loss, Stress, and Patient Empowerment with Dr. Francavilla

This week, we are highlighting an episode of the Dr. Francavilla Show! Dr. Francavilla interviewed Dr. Amigues to discuss obesity, rheumatologic conditions, and medications like GLP-1 and steroids.

Obesity is often linked to rheumatologic conditions (inflammatory or infectious conditions of the joints and other parts of the musculoskeletal system) and joint pain. This episode covers this connection, exploring how excess weight can impact these conditions. We also discuss the effects of weight loss medications on such conditions and the powerful impact of stress reduction techniques on healing both the mind and body.

In this discussion, Dr. Amigues also highlights the importance of the parasympathetic system in healing, contrasting it with the stress-induced fight-or-flight response.
