Summary

Back in 2021, Ozempic quickly rose to fame as a “miracle” weight-loss drug—but at the time, fewer than 10 human studies existed to genuinely assess its safety and effectiveness. Today, with over 20 completed or ongoing trials, we have a much clearer understanding of Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications. In this episode, Marianna and Tony revisit the topic to deliver the most current, evidence-based insights and usage recommendations. Tune in to get the facts, updated science, and practical advice—without the hype.
