Should We Be Taking GLP-1s? with Dr Alex Craven: Weight & Metabolism Series

In this eye-opening episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr Anthea Todd sits down with Dr Alex Craven, a general surgeon specialising in metabolic disease and weight loss surgery. Together, they unpack one of the most misunderstood areas in modern health: what metabolic disease actually is, why it doesn’t always show up as weight gain, and how to understand the deeper signals your body is sending long before blood tests confirm a problem.
From redefining what a “healthy body” looks like to explaining why two people with the same weight can have completely different metabolic profiles, Dr Craven reveals the truth behind cellular health, energy balance, set point theory, GLP-1 medications, and the real drivers of metabolic dysfunction.
You’ll learn:
- Why weight and metabolic health are not the same thing
- What early metabolic symptoms look like before diagnosis
- The cellular signs that your body isn’t adapting or recovering well
- How GLP-1 medications work and who they’re designed for
- The risks of taking GLP-1s if you don’t medically need them
- Why genetics influence your set point but don’t determine your future
- How environment, childhood nutrition and stress shape metabolic resilience
- Why shame and “just try harder” make weight problems worse
- The lifestyle levers that genuinely move metabolic health forward
This episode is for every woman who has felt confused, discouraged or blamed for her weight or health. Dr Craven and Dr Todd make one thing clear: your metabolism isn’t a moral issue and your body isn’t failing you. It’s communicating with you — and once you understand the signals, you gain your power back.
