In this solo episode of The Dr. Terri Show, Dr. Terri marks her 50th episode with a deep dive into one of today’s most talked-about medical breakthroughs—GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide. She explores the benefits, limitations, and long-term considerations of these popular medications, often used for weight loss and type 2 diabetes. Dr. Terri unpacks why so many people struggle to get off these drugs, what’s really happening with muscle loss and aging appearance, and how protein, fiber, and lifestyle play a critical role in sustainable health.

She also sheds light on the difference between brand name and compounded versions, why long-term safety data is still unknown, and how to approach these medications as a short-term tool—not a lifelong crutch. Whether you're on a GLP-1 or just curious, this episode offers actionable steps and crucial perspective from an integrative medicine lens.
