With so many options out there—new GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound, oral versions hitting the market, and older prescriptions—it can feel totally overwhelming. In this episode, we break it all down: how much weight you might realistically lose, how other health conditions factor in, cost considerations, who should avoid certain medications, and even how combination therapy can sometimes make sense. Over the years, I’ve covered these topics in different ways. One of my favorite episodes was with Dr. Angela Fitch, where we explored all the available medications at that time. Since then, new therapies like Zepbound and oral Wegovy have emerged, changing the landscape even more. This episode isn’t meant to replace a one-on-one conversation with an obesity expert—that’s still the gold standard—but it gives the information you need to start thinking about what might fit your goals, your body, and your lifestyle. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of how these medications work, who they help most, and how to approach the decision thoughtfully and safely. Obesity is a medical condition, and like any condition, it deserves expert care—so let’s dive into your options.
