How do drugs like Ozempic (semaglutide) cause weight loss?
What happens when someone comes off of these drugs?
In this episode, we discuss how these drugs (GLP-1 receptor agonists) target specific areas in the brain to suppress appetite and facilitate weight loss.
We also discuss clinical trials data suggesting that these drugs and/or the weight loss that they facilitate may have cardioprotective effects.
