Ep 045 - In the News: Weight Loss Drugs

Sensationalized headlines about GLP-1 Agonist weight loss drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound) are everywhere. From celebrities singing their praises, "experts" warning of the hidden dangers, and lawyers alleging disfiguration and death, the news is so conflicting that it's easy to get overwhelmed.

In this episode, the boys look into several of the most extreme claims and try to bring some clarity, separating signal from noise. Is there any truth to the claims on either side? What side effects are real with these medications? What is the balance between benefit and risk for those with obesity or type 2 diabetes?

While this episode is focused entirely on the headlines, episode 44 goes deep into how GLP-1 Agonists work for people with type 2 diabetics and/or obesity and why these medications are so important groundbreaking. Watch that one here: https://youtu.be/Y4cwx0hihZ4
