E88 Obesity Medicine: GLP-1 Introduction, Mechanism, and Benefits

Today we finally reach the GLP-1 medications! It's been a long slog through obesity medication, but I feel like this is what everyone has been waiting for. I will start off today by telling you how these medications work on the many parts of the body on which they do work. I will then go through the long list of benefits that they have on these various body systems, and I will back it up with the scientific literature. The benefits are massive and probably even more than you imagined, so have a listen! And don't worry I'll talk about all the stuff you need to be careful about on the next couple episodes, so it's not always rosy as with anything.
