Whether you've heard it called Ozempic, Wegovy or semaglutide, we are almost certain you have heard of the prescription weight loss injections that have taken over our social media feeds!

In this episode, we’re diving into the science, misconceptions and realities of these fat loss injections, plus the lifestyle strategies that can help you feel stronger and more confident — at any stage of your life.

The Topics We're Covering Include: 

  • The buzz around Ozempic: why is it so popular right now, and is it right for you?
  • What is food noise, and how does semaglutide help quiet it?
  • How much protein you actually need in a day?
  • How you can use fasting for weight loss, and why it is easier for men.
  • Supplements that are worth it — and the ones that aren’t.
  • How our approach to diet and exercise needs to evolve with our bodies as they change with age (hello, menopause, is that you?).

Joining The Conversation:

  • Dr. Marguerite Weston, a functional medicine expert breaking down the science of sustainable fat loss and overall health.
  • Adrienne Yanich, NP, an aesthetics and semaglutide specialist helping patients feel confident and empowered through education. 
  • Dr. Katie D'Amato, a physical therapist and functional strength movement advocate emphasizing the importance of maintaining muscle as we age.

Together, these experts use their lived experiences to answer the very real questions they face about nutrition care, weight loss and prescription medications as you continue to navigate through the sea of advertisements and headlines!
