Summary
Ozempic, Wegovy, and other weightloss drugs are all over the news these days promising quick and permanent weight loss but – like every other miracle weight-loss drug in the past- is this another “too good to be true” moment?
Our friend, Dr. Michael Greger, puts these new wonder drugs “to the test” in his new book, OZEMPIC: Risks, Benefits, and Natural Alternatives to GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs.
Leave it to Dr. Michael Greger to cut right to the chase when it comes to the latest trends in diet and weight loss. In his latest book, Dr. Greger explores the research behind these new “miracle weight loss drugs” and answers the questions that so many of us have:
- What are they?
- How do they work and what is their role in suppressing your appetite?
- What are the side effects?
- Is the weight loss really permanent?
- Does insurance cover these drugs?
- And, is there another (less extreme and expensive) way to lose weight?
