Is The New Weight Loss Pill Better Than Jabs?

Weight loss jabs are evolving fast; there's even a new pill.

This week on No Appointment Necessary, Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey revisit GLP-1 medications to answer the questions everyone is asking! Can they cause hair loss? Why do some people lose muscle? Could they help with PCOS, fertility, addiction or even ADHD? And what do we now know that we didn't know six months ago?

They also look at the rise of micro-dosing, the new weight loss pill, why some people respond better than others, and whether these drugs could change the future of obesity treatment forever.

Plus, in Chat GP, Dr Amir answers a listener's question about gallstones, gallbladder removal and why genetics can sometimes matter more than lifestyle.
