on the Magic Pill Myth: Understanding the Limitations of GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs

We return to the topic of the weight loss drug semaglutide, sold under brand names such as Wegovy and Ozempic. We explore who these drugs are suitable for, what to expect when starting this type of therapy, and how they fit into the broader context of health management.

Expect to Learn:

• The indications and potential candidates for GLP-1 weight loss drugs
• Expected results and side effects of semaglutide therapy
• The role of diet and exercise in conjunction with GLP-1 drugs
• Strategies for maintaining weight loss after discontinuing the medication
• The long-term effects and safety considerations of GLP-1 drugs
