Episode #147: Why You Should Consider the GLP Medication Liraglutide

Sarah Stombaugh, MD

In this week’s episode of Conquer Your Weight, Dr. Sarah Stombaugh dives into why liraglutide may be an excellent option for your weight loss journey—especially now that it’s available as a generic medication.

We explore:

  • The clinical data behind liraglutide and how it compares to newer GLP-1 receptor agonists.
  • Affordability and access: How the availability of generic liraglutide in 2024 has made it a more cost-effective option for many patients.
  • Who it’s best for: Why liraglutide can be a great choice for individuals with less metabolic disease, modest weight loss goals, or those planning pregnancy in the near future.
  • Dosing and delivery: What to expect when using a daily injectable GLP-1, including practical tips for success.

Whether you’re new to GLP-1 medications or looking for the right fit for your goals, this episode will help you understand where liraglutide shines in the weight loss landscape.
