In this episode, Sherry and April are exploring the challenges of weight management as you age and understanding GLP-1 medications, a powerful tool in combating obesity and improving metabolic health. They are joined by Jessi Brown, a nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience. She shares her insights on how GLP-1s work, their impact on brain health, and what you should consider before starting treatment.

Key Takeaways:

• GLP-1 medications mimic natural peptides to help regulate appetite and metabolism.
• GLP-1 medications can provide significant benefits in weight management, energy levels, reducing inflammation, and potentially brain health.
• Understanding GLP-1s can empower you to make informed decisions about weight management and overall health
• Having a careful, individualized approach is crucial for safe and effective use
