Episode 7: The Great Ozempic Debate (feat. Dr. Nina Shah)

Ozempic has become a household name, but its rise as a weight loss medication is not without debate. In this episode, I'm joined by Internal Medicine Physician Dr. Nina Shah to dive deep into all things Ozempic.

We break down how GLP-1 medications work, the science behind their use for both diabetes and off-label weight loss, and the side effects many patients experience. We also tackle the tough questions: what are the controversies surrounding its usage and insurance coverage, and what does life look like after you stop taking the medication?

Tune in for a balanced, in-depth discussion on a topic that is at the intersection of modern medicine, nutrition, and personal health.
