The CRAM Podcast ~ Extraordinary Ideas Unleashed
How can GLP-1s like Ozempic affect your mental health and relationships?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Can you think of a “gamechanging” drug – a drug that’s had a profound impact on humanity?
How about penicillin discovered in the late 20's marking the beginning of the antibiotic era? Or insulin, a Canadian discovery that changed the lives of people with diabetes? Also vaccines, oral contraceptives.. aspirin?
And then there’s Ozempic, or more broadly GLP-1's – THE most talked about drugs today. Tens of millions of people around the world are on a GLP-1 like Ozempic or Wegovy. A recent survey found 3 million Canadians are currently taking them.
Dr. Sanjeev Sockalingam of CAMH shares the latest research on how these drugs can affect our brain, our behaviours, and our relationships.
