Beyond the Scale: The Ozempic Effect

Episode 2: How GLP-1 Medications Work

26 Jun 2025

Description

In this episode of Beyond the Scale: The Ozempic Effect, hosts Terry Turner and Christian Simmons break down how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro work inside the body. These medications do more than suppress appetite — they change digestion, regulate blood sugar and even influence fat metabolism. Clinical pharmacist Dr. Elizabeth Van Dril explains why these drugs are considered a breakthrough for people with and without diabetes. Diabetes expert Dr. William Hsu delves into the unique mechanisms of action, while metabolic health specialist Dr. Matt Chalmers examines how these medications aid the body in burning fat more efficiently. Finally, pharmacist-turned-nutrition and fitness coach Dr. Ashley Dwyer explains why these drugs aren’t a quick fix and must be paired with long-term lifestyle changes. This episode uncovers the science behind GLP-1s — and what it takes to make them work for lasting results.Learn more at Drugwatch.com
