Today on the Conveners we are delighted to be joined by Lisa Rickers. Lisa spent 20 years as an NHS nurse, involved in bariatric metabolic surgery (Lisa explains exactly what that is) and more latterly, is the Founder and CEO of Ultra-Biomics, a company that has a mission to improve the metabolic health of 1 billion adults. Lisa is also a coach that uses the Hintsa 'Circle of Life' model successfully utilised by everything from F1 teams to Fortune 500 companies.
Lisa's is a fascinating story, and she offers a viewpoint that this podcast aims to bring to our sector. We, of course, get onto the hot topic of the weight loss drugs (GLP-1's) - without doubt the most talked about topic across our sector right now - and what the opportunities and threats might be. Lisa also tells us about the variety of other benefits these drugs appear to be offer to people.
I am sure you will be as amazed as we were to hear about some of the things that they are being used to to treat now. This is a really thought provoking discussion that may challenge your weight loss preconceptions and you’ll find yourself wanting to find out more about these drugs and what those options might be for your organisation.
