In this episode of Skinfluenced: The Skin Podcast, we take a break from only skin diseases, and delve into our wellness side to take a look into some ground breaking research shaping the understanding and treatment of the newest GLP-1 indication: metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Join us as we dive into the groundbreaking developments surrounding semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, and its expanding therapeutic potential from upcoming FDA approvals to emerging pharmacologic strategies, this episode breaks down what these findings mean for providers, patients, and the future of disease management.
