Episode Description
GLP-1s are everywhere – commercials, your group chats, your algorithm...but what exactly are they? Are they dangerous? What are the side effects? How long should you be taking it? Do you need a prescription from your doctor? We’re here to answer those questions!
This week's episode is all about GLP-1s – what they are, how they work, what the data ACTUALLY shows and what we as clinicians need to know to have smarter conversations with our patients. We also have bonus segments this week on microdosing, compounded medications, and GLP-1 use in perimenopause and fertility.
Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins share key information in today’s episode for anyone who is on their GLP-1 journey, or looking to start. We are living through a breakthrough in medicine that is changing behaviors on a large scale, helping people get to the heart of their problems, and can be an incredibly useful tool when done with the right oversight.
