The Role of GLP-1s in Weight Management

GLP-1 medications have garnered attention for their potential in weight management, especially following FDA approval for this use. Despite their benefits and over two decades of safe use for diabetes management, there remains skepticism around their application for weight loss. In one personal anecdote, administering Ozempic to a family member resulted in significant lifestyle improvements, such as increased physical activity and cognitive engagement. This highlights the potential for GLP-1s to not only assist with weight loss but also to foster healthier habits in individuals struggling with obesity.
