In this episode, I dive into retatrutide, one of the most talked-about new weight loss drugs currently in development.

I break down how it works as a triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, and what that actually means for appetite, metabolism, and fat loss. I also go through the latest clinical trial results, including how much weight loss has been seen so far and how it compares to other treatments.

I cover the key health considerations, including potential side effects, unknowns around long-term use, and what we still need to learn about body composition changes. I also talk through practical considerations like how it’s typically dosed in studies and what people should be aware of if it ever becomes more widely available. 

If you’re curious about where the science of weight loss drugs is heading, this episode will give you a clear, evidence-based overview without the hype.
