Struggling to find compounded versions of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide? You're not alone. As these medications become harder to access, many patients are left wondering, "What's next?"

In this episode, we sit down with Joe Zucchi, a physician assistant, personal trainer, and clinical supervisor at Transition Medical Weight Loss in Salem, New Hampshire. Joe walks us through the current shortage of compounded medications, what’s really going on behind the scenes, and why safe, FDA-approved alternatives are more important than ever. But it’s not just about medication. We dive into why obesity isn’t just about willpower, discussing how it’s a complex issue that goes beyond simple behavior choices. Joe also sheds light on the issue with compounded GLP-1 medications and the risks involved. Plus, he shares practical tips on how to make exercise work for you, whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your routine.

Joe’s approach to weight management is unique, combining fitness, nutrition, medical treatments, and even an on-site marketplace stocked with healthy, portion-controlled foods. His clinic’s well-rounded approach ensures that patients receive the support they need for long-term success, no matter where they are on their weight management journey.
