56. Cagrilintide: The Newest Wave in Weight Loss


Listen Later

Obesity is an epidemic and is kerosine to the fire of chronic disease. We all should know to start fighting obesity with diet and exercise, but can injectable peptides be the not-so-secret weapon. Today, we delve deep into a promising candidate—Cagrilintide. This peptide has captured the attention of experts and patients alike, offering new hope through innovative mechanisms that curtail appetite and enhance weight loss.

Returning to the show is Dr. Kris Wusterhausen, a seasoned Family Practice Physician and a pioneer in Age Management Medicine. At The Resurge Clinic in Weatherford, Texas, Dr. Wusterhausen is at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge treatments to empower individuals in their health journeys. Today, he'll help us unpack the science behind cagrilintide, its synergies with medications like semaglutide, its standalone potential, and the crucial aspects of its safety and efficacy. Let’s discover if cagrilintide is the missing piece in the ongoing quest to redefine weight management strategies.
