In this episode, Hannah dives deep into Ozempic, Wegovy, and other GLP-1 receptor agonists, the groundbreaking medications transforming weight loss and type 2 diabetes management. We explore how GLP-1 drugs work, their benefits, side effects, and the latest research on their impact beyond diabetes—the good, the bad, and the ugly. We also look into the lawsuits that are being brought up and might threaten the future of the medication.
Join us as we break down the science behind semaglutide and similar medications, discuss who might benefit from them, and explore alternative methods when it comes to weight loss. Whether you're considering Ozempic for weight loss, curious about long-term effects, or just want to stay informed on the latest diabetes treatments, this episode has you covered!
