    The Plus SideZ Podcast: Cracking the Obesity Code
    Hosts: Kim Carlos & Kat Carter
    Special Guest: Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom

    In this episode of The Plus SideZ Podcast, hosts Kim Carlos and Kat Carter sit down with Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom, to discuss the evolving landscape of obesity treatments, lifestyle changes, and the intersection of traditional diet culture with modern medical advancements.

    From Noom's founding principles to its advocacy for affordable GLP-1 medications, Geoff provides an insider perspective on how the company is adapting to the shift toward treating obesity as a chronic disease rather than a willpower issue.

    We tackle questions about Noom’s recent campaigns, the challenges of redefining a brand traditionally associated with dieting, and how Noom’s approach to GLP-1-guided lifestyle support stands apart from competitors like Weight Watchers. Geoff also shares insights on the company’s collaboration with businesses and lawmakers to ensure accessibility and affordability for weight management tools.

    Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of obesity care, societal changes in perception, and what’s next for Noom.

    Tune in to this important discussion and take a step toward understanding the future of obesity treatment and advocacy
