Integrative Pharmacist Dr. Swathi Varanasi Diaz details the impact and considerations of GLP-1 drugs, which are being lauded for their effectiveness in weight loss and obesity treatments. These drugs have seen widespread use, with statistics showing their intake by millions of Americans. However, the discussion also highlights the challenges associated with their use, including high costs, significant side effects, and a potential for weight rebound upon discontinuation. Dr. Diaz, a pharmacist with expertise in integrative medicine, provides insights into how these drugs work, their possible gastrointestinal and mental health side effects, and how they might be complemented with a proper lifestyle to enhance results. The conversation introduces Fortetropin as a natural product to possibly counteract muscle loss associated with GLP-1 drugs, and the natural myostatin inhibitor MYOS MD to also counteract weight loss related sarcopenia Throughout, the episode underscores the importance of a personalized approach to weight loss involving diet, exercise, and possible pharmaceutical interventions, while highlighting the necessity of caution and thorough consideration in adopting these treatments.

Finally a reason to switch your omega-3!
You’ve heard me talk for years about the importance of including fish oil in your supplement regimen—but not all omega-3s are created equal.
I’m excited to share that I’ve made the switch to a formulation that tops all the rest: Big Bold Health’s Omega-3 Rejuvenate is a premium blend of oils from wild-caught Alaskan cod and sockeye salmon.
Using a low heat extraction technique to extract the pure amber oil that contains all-natural and abundant full-spectrum omega-3s, Omega-3 Rejuvenate preserves the natural goodness of the fish, so you get maximum benefits in every soft gel.
