Plant-Based Protein Helps Women Manage Menopause Weight Gain

During menopause, estrogen decline slows metabolism and can shift fat to the belly. Dietitians say a plant-based, protein‑rich approach—especially soy and other beans—can help curb weight gain and ease symptoms like bloating and hot flashes. Good options include soy products, beans, lentils, edamame, tempeh, and other plant proteins, while limiting processed foods and staying active.

Employers test subsidized GLP-1 access through eMed and CVS Caremark

Telehealth company eMed is partnering with CVS Caremark to let employers offer GLP-1 obesity meds to workers via online prescriptions with comprehensive weight-management support; employers can subsidize the drugs to varying degrees, with prices touted as the market’s most cost-effective option. Aon piloted a similar program for its staff, and CVS sees the move as expanding access through its PBM network for up to 30 million Americans. The program combines online cash purchases with secondary coverage to help keep workplace health costs in check, backed by continuous clinical support and monitoring to improve adherence and outcomes.

Protein May Fill You Up, But It Isn’t a Magic Weight-Loss Fix

Experts say higher-protein meals can increase fullness for about 3–4 hours and may modestly help with weight loss, but the effect is small and not guaranteed long-term. Protein is just one factor affecting appetite—the mood, genetics, and food environment matter too. For lasting fullness and health, prioritize protein from whole foods paired with fiber, aiming for about 20–30 g of protein and at least 8 g of fiber per meal, and include resistance training to preserve lean mass.

Meal timing fails to improve sleep, large TRE study finds

A 12-week trial of nearly 200 adults with overweight/obesity compared early, late, and flexible daily eating windows. Sleep duration, sleep quality, and mood were similar across all groups; the only notable difference was about 12 minutes more total sleep for early TRE vs usual care. The findings suggest that shifting dinner time alone is unlikely to meaningfully boost sleep, and practical decisions should be guided by personal schedules and hunger patterns rather than expecting a sleep payoff.

PATHWEIGH reshapes weight care in primary care, reversing population weight gain

Endocrinologist Leigh Perreault led PATHWEIGH, a structured primary-care pathway that dedicates visits to weight management and streamlines workflows to reduce stigma and barriers. In a NIH-funded rollout across Colorado's 56 clinics, a large 18-month trial with 274,182 patients found that population weight gain fell by 0.58 kg and the overall trend shifted toward weight loss, with a 23% uptick in weight-related care and more anti-obesity prescriptions, prompting broader interest from health systems.

Fibermaxxing: The Trend That Boosts Your Health and How to Get Started

Fibermaxxing is a trending approach that involves significantly increasing daily fiber intake to improve digestion, support weight loss, and enhance overall health by focusing on high-fiber foods like beans, vegetables, and whole grains. While it offers benefits such as better gut health and natural satiety, caution is advised to avoid excessive fiber intake, which can cause digestive discomfort and interfere with mineral absorption. Gradual increases and balanced consumption are recommended for safe and effective results.
