Ep. 86 - Retatrutide: Does the Science Support the Hype?
from The Balanced Bodies Blueprint
Retatrutide is being called the next big leap in medical weight loss...but does the hype actually match the human data? In this episode, we break down what retatrutide is, how it works as a triple-agonist drug, and what current human trials really show in terms of fat loss, metabolic health, and side effects. We also dive into potential benefits beyond the scale, realistic expectations compared to GLP-1 drugs, and the uncomfortable but necessary question: is retatrutide headed toward widespread misuse and abuse? This is an evidence-based, no-nonsense conversation separating clinical promise from influencer exaggeration. *** Phase 3 trials are underway but not completed, Coach Vinny misspoke in the background and said passed phase 3 instead of phase 2*** Coach VinnyEmail: [email protected]: vinnyrusso_balancedbodiesFacebook: Vinny Russo Dr. ErynEmail: [email protected]: dr.eryn_balancedbodiesFacebook: Eryn Stansfield LEGION 20% OFF CODEGo to https://legionathletics.com/ and use the code RUSSO for 20% off your order!
