Everything You Wish You Could Ask Your Doctor About GLP-1s

In this episode, I'm continuing last week's conversation about GLP-1 medications, but this time I brought in someone who actually is the expert. Dr. Matthea Rentea, a board certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician, joins me to answer the questions I'm not qualified to answer myself. 

Maybe you're on a GLP-1 right now and know there's more to it than what your last appointment covered. Or maybe you're considering one and don't know where to start. Either way, we get into what these medications actually do in the body, who they're really for, and what almost nobody tells you about using them well for the long haul. 

What you'll discover:

• Why GLP-1s target a hormonal problem, not a willpower one
• The warning signs of losing muscle too fast, and how to prevent it
• Why going without the right support can backfire
• How to tell if your medical team is helping or hurting you

If you've ever wondered whether you're using a GLP-1 the right way, or whether it's the right choice at all, this conversation is for you.
