Olivia emailed us sharing her personal journey with Semaglutide, a GLP one receptor agonist, and how it helped her manage binge eating disorder. Olivia's experience was so compelling and we believe it sheds light on the silence around GLP one drugs and their potential benefits beyond weight loss.
Join Georgie as she discusses the implications, potential benefits, and risks of using these medications for binge eating disorder. She also delves into the future of research and the pharmaceutical industry in this space. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the real-life impacts of GLP one drugs on binge eating disorder.
