🌟 New article in our Plantrician Library: Understanding GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, and Others)! 🌟 We are thrilled to feature guest author Cyrus Khambatta, PhD! Cyrus is the New York Times bestselling co-author of Mastering Diabetes and has helped more than 10,000 people reverse the underlying cause of insulin resistance. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have gained popularity due to their effectiveness in managing type 2 diabetes and promoting weight loss. Originally developed to reduce blood glucose in type 2 diabetes only, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine documenting the powerful weight loss effects of the active ingredient semaglutide began the movement to prescribe GLP-1 receptor antagonists as an off-label weight-loss drug. While the weight loss effects of GLP-1 RAs are powerful, caution should be exercised when prescribing this class of medications to those trying to lose weight or reduce their blood glucose, due to their extensive list of unwanted side effects. Read more about the research and side effects of GLP-1 RAs here: https://loom.ly/AmZnVyA #plantrician #masteringdiabetes #library #ozempic #wegovy #weightloss #type2diabetes #diabetes #weightlossdrugs #GLP1 #CyrusKhambatta #research
