The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast How to Combine Prescription Weight Loss Drugs with Healthy Aging
In this episode, hosts Kevin and Monica discuss the evolving landscape of prescription weight loss drugs, such as GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy). Initially skeptical, they explore how these drugs can be integrated into a health-forward approach to weight loss, emphasizing the importance of using them responsibly with a focus on losing fat, not muscle, and maintaining overall health.
They outline a potential roadmap for those considering these medications, which includes a pre-drug phase to bolster metabolism, a guided phase during medication use to ensure healthy fat loss, and a post-drug strategy to maintain weight loss sustainably.
The episode underscores the need for a mindset shift and behavioral changes to accompany drug use, ensuring long-term health benefits rather than temporary weight loss.
