Using GLP-1 medications for weight loss has become extremely popular. Is this the latest fad in losing weight, or will these medications completely change our approach to managing obesity? They do appear to be very effective in promoting substantial weight loss. What is the history of these medications? Are there differences in the various GLP-1 medications available? What are the potential adverse effects of this drug class? This podcast is the first in a series of three on the GLP-1 medications prescribed for weight loss. The topic for this podcast is “Who Is a candidate for a GLP-1 Medication?” and my guests include Dr. Meera Shah and Dr. Tamim Rajjo, both from the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Mayo Clinic.
