31: Ozempic | Is This Really a Magical Weight Loss Drug?


Listen Later

Today we dive deep into the drug Ozempic. We are going to get into the science of how Ozempic works in the body so you will have a better understanding of its downstream effects. We are talking about using Ozempic for weight loss - not its risks vs benefits for type 2 diabetes.

We discuss:

  • What is GLP1 and how does it impact the body?
  • What is the mechanism of action of a GLP1 agonist?
  • What are the possible side effects of a GLP1 agonist?
  • What are the risks with using a GLP1 agonist?
  • What are the benefits of using a GLP1 agonist?
  • Why is it important to know this information prior to starting Ozempic?
  • Want to hang out with me and listen as I speak during a live podcast, have a glass of wine, and meet some new friends?
