Within the past year, weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic have made headlines — positive and negative. Today, I'm having obesity and lipid specialist physician Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, who focuses on exercise and nutrition as medicine, on the show to shed some light on all of the FAQs. What does weight loss medication do in the body, is it safe, who qualifies to take it, what are the side effects or risks, how much they cost, and how can we know what will happen in the long-term. Plus: Why it's important to make environmental modifications if you're interested in long-term weight-loss, whether or not these drugs are part of the picture.
