Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The landscape of medical weight loss is evolving, and oral GLP-1 medications are becoming an important part of that conversation.
In this episode of The Vitality Formula, Dr. Marie Livesey, physician and metabolism and hormone expert, explains what oral weight-loss medications really mean for metabolism, hormones, and real life. This is a physician-led, physiology-first discussion focused on clarity rather than hype.
You’ll learn how oral GLP-1 medications work compared to injectable options, who may or may not be a good candidate, and why medication alone is never the full solution. We also explore how these medications affect blood sugar regulation, appetite hormones, sleep, stress, and long-term metabolic health.
If you’re considering medical weight loss or want clear, grounded context beyond headlines and trends, this episode will help you better understand your options.
What You’ll Learn:
- How oral GLP-1 medications work
- Differences between oral and injectable weight-loss options
- Who is and is not a good candidate for oral weight-loss medications
- How these medications interact with hormones and metabolism
- Why lifestyle support still matters
