138. Dietitians Discuss OZEMPIC® & MOUNJARO®

40 minutes

With our clients asking us about weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Mounajro, and Wegovy, we decided to share our thoughts. In a nutshell, these drugs WORK in congruence to diet and exercise, but does that mean everyone should take them? Are they the "cheat code" to weight loss?

Our goal for this episode to is be both objective about the science and honest about our feelings. These are such new drugs, and our opinions are subject to change overtime. We hope these video gives you some insight from two nutrition professionals who talk about the physical, mental, and emotional impact of weight every day with over thousands of clients.
