Ben Synth explores how GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic physically slow gastric emptying by relaxing the fundus, reducing antral contractions, and tightening the pyloric sphincter—creating prolonged fullness that aids weight loss and blood sugar control. The episode reveals how the body adapts through tachyphylaxis, yet weight loss continues through broader mechanisms beyond the stomach alone.Loved this episode?
