Weight loss drugs have been around forever but there is a new kid in town, GLP1 drugs: names like Ozempic, Wagovy, and Zepbound, to name a few.
Wondering how these came about? Are they safe? Are they effective?
Are they for me? Who are the best candidates? What about the cost?
Kyle and Candace sit down and dig in with their local compounding pharmacist friend (owner of Lloyd Central Compounding Pharmacy) and explore all of these questions and more.
Join us and learn:
~ How were these drugs originally used? Where do they come from (a gila monster???)
~ How do they work?
~ What are the most common side effects?
~ Who can use them?
~ How effective are they? How much weight can I expect to lose?
~ What happens when you go off of them: do you gain the weight right back? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
~ What about diets like Keto? Mediterranean? How do I know what is best for me?
~ What about the shortage of these medications?
~ Does insurance cover them? What is the cost?
~ Controversies around compounded versions
~ How do these medications work for weight loss? For diabetes?
~ We have heard that there are MANY benefits on a wide variety of medical conditions: what are they (cardiovascular, neurogenerative, plus)?
~ Are you hopeful that these medications will have long term health benefits?

Candace’s inspiration: Dr. Katarina Dalton - a pioneer in the world of women’s health, she coined the term ‘PMS’ and unlocked some of the secrets of progesterone: (See more in our most recent newsletter HERE!)
Natalie's favorite thing: finding the time to walk and feel grounded: a reminder to pause, take some deep breaths, walk barefoot if you can and soothe your nervous system.
