Ozempic & Prescribed Quiet with Dr. Emma Beckett

from Curiosity Weekly

 Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications are everywhere. But with so much information available about this category of drug, it can be hard to know what to trust. Today, host Dr. Samantha Yammine speaks with Dr. Emma Beckett, a food and nutrition scientist, to unpack the facts and fictions behind GLP-1s and how we talk about them. Sam also talks with a research team who uncovered a brand new color using cutting-edge technology: Olo. Then, Sam gets to the bottom of a recent study that turns human blood toxic to mosquitos.   Tune into Animals on Drugs, hosted by recent guest Forrest Galante, airing on July 28th on Discovery.    Link to Show Notes HERE  Follow Curiosity Weekly on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with Dr. Samantha Yammine — for free!
