Weight loss medications are evolving at lightning speed. But once you start digging online, it’s easy to feel unsure about what’s real, what’s safe, and what your options actually are if a medication stops working.

In this episode, I walk you through what’s genuinely on the horizon between 2026–2028, using the clinical data we have right now. We’re talking higher-dose oral Wegovy, more affordable non-refrigerated options, and the triple agonist many people are waiting for, with nearly 29% average weight loss. 

Tune in to find out how these medications work, what the research is showing so far, and why this pipeline offers real hope for anyone managing obesity as a chronic disease.
