GLP‑1 Drugs and the Rise of Unchecked Weight Loss Culture

GLP‑1 receptor agonists have rapidly become headline-grabbing solutions for weight loss. These medications lead to significant appetite suppression and weight reduction which has made them incredibly appealing not just to those with clinical obesity, but to anyone feeling pressure to lose weight fast.

Why Ozempic and Other Weight Loss Drugs Are Not the Answer

Weight loss injections are not a long-term viable solution to weight management!

These drugs are glucose dependant – meaning the worse your diet, the more effective they will be. Sounds crazy, right?
