GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have changed the weight loss landscape - but are we using them properly? 

In this episode, I break down how GLP-1s work, why they're so effective and the concerns around using them without proper lifestyle intervention. I also discuss muscle loss, nutrient deficiencies, weight re-gain and why these medications should support long-term behaviour change - not replace it.
