GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro have become one of the most controversial topics in health and fitness.

Are they “cheating”? Are people with obesity simply lacking willpower? Are these medications safe? And what does the research actually show about weight loss, appetite, muscle retention, metabolic health, and long-term outcomes?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky for a comprehensive, evidence-based deep dive into GLP-1s. Rather than relying on social media opinions, we examine what the scientific literature says about:

• How GLP-1 medications work
• Expected weight loss outcomes
• Effects on hunger and appetite
• Muscle loss and body composition
• Safety and side effects
• Long-term use
• Common misconceptions and myths

As always, our goal was not necessarily to promote and sensationalize nor condemn and dismiss GLP-1s, but to provide an objective discussion of the current evidence so you can make more informed decisions.

If you’ve seen strong opinions online and wanted a balanced explanation grounded in research, this episode is for you.
