The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast Kevin English

In this episode, hosts Kevin and Monica discuss the evolving landscape of prescription weight loss drugs, such as GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy). Initially skeptical, they explore how these drugs can be integrated into a health-forward approach to weight loss, emphasizing the importance of using them responsibly with a focus on losing fat, not muscle, and maintaining overall health. 
 
They outline a potential roadmap for those considering these medications, which includes a pre-drug phase to bolster metabolism, a guided phase during medication use to ensure healthy fat loss, and a post-drug strategy to maintain weight loss sustainably. 
 
The episode underscores the need for a mindset shift and behavioral changes to accompany drug use, ensuring long-term health benefits rather than temporary weight loss.
