A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dave has allowed me to better understand how the GLP-1 medication works. He has also given me and others knowledge on how to better ask informed questions of our medical professionals while advocating for ourselves in an informed manner. Dave and Ann work as a team and bring information on overall health and wellbeing. If you have read this far please joins us for a live podcast the group and chat are wonderful caring individuals.

Chef Ruben · Sep 2026

This show delivers the best insight in the GLP-1 realm of healthcare. I have learned so much from Dave and his Sister. I appreciate that he is a patient as well as an educator. Him being a man also helps men feel comfortable in the weight management area of healthcare which is not commonly a comfortable place for men. Watch it live once and you will never want to miss a live again! Subscribe and join immediately to help reach more people so more understand that obesity is a chronic health condition that needs medical treatment. Will power does not work when our hormones and brain are working against us!!!

On the Pen with Dave Knapp is tops on up-to-date sources of legislation, insurance issues, latest medical advancements, and helpful hints for anyone on a glp1 medication (and even their loved ones). I highly recommend this podcast!

Debbie Musielak · Aug 2026

A+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This podcast is incredibly informative - not just about GLP-1’s, but about topics, including overall health, physical, emotional, mental, new medications in the pipeline, medication trial results and so much more! Dave is extremely knowledgeable and gaining knowledge every week. He explains and articulates incredibly well. Each week Anne brings interesting and well-formed content on topics I would not even have given any thought to otherwise. I enjoy all the content and particularly the live shows Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
