GLP-1s like Wegovy and Zepbound have been on everyone's lips. These so-called 'miracle drugs' gained more attention after Oprah discussed them on her recent episode titled 'Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution.' She mentioned that they were a key player in helping her lose weight.
But the big question on everyone's mind is: How long should one stay on Wegovy or Zepbound? Is it a lifetime commitment?
In this episode, Dr. Linda Anegawa will answer this question. She is the Chief Medical Officer for Noom and has over 20 years of experience in academic primary care, bariatrics, and leadership in digital health startups. Since becoming certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine in 2014, she has developed weight loss and lifestyle medicine programs in both traditional healthcare settings and telemedicine.
We also discussed common misconceptions about these drugs, including the risks associated with starting and stopping them, potential dependency issues, and a range of other important information. We delved into how these medications work, their side effects, and the long-term implications for those considering or currently using GLP-1s like Wegovy and Zepbound. By addressing these topics, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding for anyone interested in these weight management options.
Tune in to the full episode to grasp a deeper understanding of these medications.
