Can medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro actually do more than help you lose weight? This minisode features highlights from our full conversation, which premiered October 7th, 2025. Watch the full episode here → https://youtu.be/AcVIiy201H4?si=nlaFL3JnoZHxQVFh
Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen and I explore the difference between GLP-1, GIP, and triple-agonist drugs — and what’s next in obesity medicine, how estrogen changes after 40 drive midsection weight gain and inflammation, why GLP-1s reduce cancer and Alzheimer’s risk through anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects and how obesity and insulin resistance impact fertility and PCOS — and how GLP-1s can help.If you’ve ever wondered whether GLP-1s are just “weight loss shots” or a real step forward in metabolic and brain health — this “minisode” is a must-listen.
