Listen Later

Welcome to The Inflamed & Exhausted Podcast where we're talking about the impacts of inflammation on our bodies and the lifestyle choices we can make to reduce inflammation so we can feel more energized and focused every day!

I'm your host, Lieah Torbert , CEO and co-founder of Wellness by Davlie, which is dedicated to helping women simplify healthy living through evidence-based nutrition, functional tea blends, and real-life wellness education. What began as a personal journey through burnout, long Covid, and hormonal imbalance has become a mission to support women who are tired of being tired and ready for real, lasting change.

On this episode, GLP-1's for Weight Loss: What You Need to Know with Dr. Jacinta Anyaoku , I sit down with Dr. Jacinta Anyaoku, a double board-certified physician in Family and Obesity Medicine, to talk candidly about GLP-1s (like Ozempic and Wegovy). We unpack how they work, who they're for, and what most people get wrong about them.

Dr. Anyaoku shares:

  • The medical science behind GLP-1 medications
  • Why weight loss is about more than just appearance
  • Common myths and side effects: what's real and what's hype
  • How to lose weight safely while protecting your muscle mass
  • The surprising connection between obesity, inflammation, and chronic illness

We also touch on red flags to watch for when seeking treatment, the truth about “Ozempic face,” and what sustainable weight management really looks like.

Whether you're considering GLP-1s or just curious about how they fit into the bigger picture of wellness, this episode is for you!
