The weight loss world is shifting fast—and the battle between prescription medications like semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and nutrition-based strategies like the ketogenic diet is front and center. Which one delivers the best results? And more importantly, which is right for you?

In this episode of The Health Pulse, we compare these powerful approaches head-to-head, exploring five key areas: weight loss outcomes, metabolic health benefits, side effects, sustainability, and cost/accessibility. You’ll learn how semaglutide’s triple-action mechanism influences appetite and insulin, and why the ketogenic diet remains a leading tool for those with insulin resistance and metabolic inflexibility.

We also explore the emerging idea of combining both approaches to enhance results and minimize downsides—leveraging semaglutide’s hormonal benefits alongside the metabolic power of a high-protein, low-carb lifestyle.

Before beginning any weight loss journey, we emphasize the importance of testing key metabolic markers like fasting insulin to guide personalized care.

Tune in for science-backed insights that cut through the noise and help you take control of your health—on your terms.
