I Love Labs - Episode 2 - Doing Semaglutide RIGHT - GLP-1 Medications and Weight Loss (Ozempic, etc)
There is so much in the news about GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Monjouro). Let's do a deep dive into how I've seen providers help patients thrive on these medications! They can be incredible tools--if done correctly, with the help of a qualified medical provider/prescriber, combined with health coaching. Topics: what to look for in a weight loss program/GLP-1 provider, which labs to track while on the medication (and after), what to eat to maximize results, how to minimize side effects, how to keep the weight off long-term...and so much more.
