On this episode we talk about: All the different names & varieties that weight loss drugs go by these days.Why they may not be the "miracle" drug we think they are.The latest research surrounding them and why it may not be showing is the full picture.How much weight you can expect to lose on a GLP-1.What happens when you go off it.Side effects you may experience that nobody talks about.How to talk to your doctor about it.
