Last episode we spoke with my colleague Dr. Spice Lussier about the basics of semaglutide. We touched on how and why it works scientifically, its benefits and side effects, and the kind of patients that benefit most from it. Today we will hear first hand what it’s like to take it from two of my own patients. Ana is in her early 40s and Jessica is in her mid-30s. Both of them were struggling to lose weight despite working really hard exercising and eating well. As you’ll hear, semaglutide was a breakthrough for them. And it works in an unusual and interesting way: it really changes how you think about food and cravings. And if you manage it correctly and fit the profile for the right patient, it can work unlike any other weight loss treatment.
