u/DrDanna

I'm Dr. Danna Kashlan a Johns Hopkins trained - obesity medicine physician and founding medical advisor for Lina. I spend most of my clinical time working with patients on GLP-1 therapy and metabolic health, and I create educational content about obesity medicine on TikTok and Instagram.

This Thursday, ask me anything about:

• How GLP-1s work and what they're actually doing in your body
• Side effects — what's normal, what's worth flagging
• Complications — what's real and what's overhyped
• Why you feel cold, tired, or different on these medications
• Plateaus, dose changes, and what the maintenance data says
• Newer drugs coming to market
• Lifestyle habits and what the evidence actually supports
• The latest research in obesity medicine

I won't give individual medical advice or comment on your specific dose or situation, but I'll talk through the science and what I see in clinic all day.

Looking forward to the discussion!

I'm Dr. Danna Kashlan, a fellowship - trained obesity medicine physician at Johns Hopkins. My work focuses on helping patients navigate weight loss and weight-related diseases through intensive lifestyle changes, medications, procedures, or a combination.

I'm here today to answer your questions, including topics like:

• The physiology behind weight loss and why it's so much more complex than calories in, calories out
• Busting common myths about obesity, dieting, and weight loss
• Sustainable weight management strategies that actually last
• How medications, procedures, and lifestyle changes fit into a real treatment plan
• Understanding how to use medications as catalysts to support your lifestyle changes
• How GLP-1 medications work and what to expect
• The latest news in obesity medicine

Happy to answer any broad questions you have on physiology, side effects, or just evidence-based tips to support a healthy weight!

Looking forward to the conversation!

Dr. Danna Kashlan
