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? WTF Moment: Candace had commented to a man at the gym that he looked great, and he admitted to being on one of these drugs and then said, “I can eat whatever I want now” and she was aghast that this was NOT the best way to make lasting changes.

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.
