278. Weight Loss Medications: Dr. Spencer Nadolsky Answers Your GLP-1 Questions Dec 18, 2023

Show notes

Within the past year, weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic have made headlines — positive and negative. Today, I'm having obesity and lipid specialist physician Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, who focuses on exercise and nutrition as medicine, on the show to shed some light on all of the FAQs. What does weight loss medication do in the body, is it safe, who qualifies to take it, what are the side effects or risks, how much they cost, and how can we know what will happen in the long-term. Plus: Why it's important to make environmental modifications if you're interested in long-term weight-loss, whether or not these drugs are part of the picture.

High on the gratitude list: Tokyo Marathon, here I come! Talking about how I had to do something that I didn't want to do yesterday — and it ended up really working out for me.

Also: Answering a listener question on how to keep white sneakers white (well, how I do, anyway).

It's officially in the Los Angeles Games.
