The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast with Elizabeth McGann27 Maalis 2023

Thinking of Taking Ozempic? (w/ Dr. Robert Todd Hurst)

GLP-1 medications have been a lively topic of discussion nationwide for the last six months. Many voices have touted drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro as a new "miracle" weight loss cure. Meanwhile a handful of experts have raised important questions about the safety of such treatments.

In this thought-provoking interview, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst offers a stunning cost-benefit analysis of taking GLP-1 agonist medications in the long and short terms.

While there is no doubt that these medications can be highly effective in helping people drop significant amounts of weight, Hurst cogently argues that the net benefit and costs should be carefully considered before one undergoes any course of treatment.

Dr. Hurst is a board-certified preventative cardiologist and notable author of the WebMD Heart Health Blog. In 2022 he launched The Healthspan Podcast, where he shares insights from his work at the Mayo Clinic and his own HealthspanMD practice based in Phoenix, Arizona.
