GLP-1 Agonist

Weight loss wonder drug or just another fad? Everyone’s buzzing about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, and for good reason—they’ve shown promise in helping people lose weight. But before you jump on the bandwagon, let’s break it down.

These meds weren’t designed as quick fixes; they’re tools. They work by regulating hunger hormones and improving insulin sensitivity. But here’s the catch: they’re not a substitute for lifestyle changes. If you’re using Ozempic while eating garbage and skipping exercise, you’re setting yourself up for failure the minute you stop.

And let’s not ignore the side effects: nausea, digestive issues, and the potential for muscle loss if you’re not strength training. Yep, you heard that right—lose the weight, but also lose the muscle that keeps you strong and functional.
