In this compelling episode of Diet Culture Dropout, we welcome Larissa Ends, a dietitian and certified diabetes educator based in Edmonton, Alberta. Together, we delve into the topic of GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, exploring their uses, side effects, and real-world implications. Larissa shares her insights from clinical research trials and discusses the complex interplay between these medications and weight management, diabetes control, and overall well-being. We also touch on the societal impact of diet culture and the importance of informed consent when considering these medications. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a patient, or someone interested in the topic, this episode provides valuable perspectives on GLP-1 medications.
