GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Semaglutide have exploded in popularity — but they are not the right option for everyone.

In this conversation, Nurse Practitioner Kim breaks down who should consider GLP-1 medications, who should avoid them, and what people often misunderstand about these treatments.

You’ll learn:

• The patients who benefit most from GLP-1 medications
• Common side effects people experience
• Who should NOT take these medications
• Realistic weight loss expectations while on GLP-1
• Why medical supervision is critical when using these drugs

GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools for weight loss and metabolic health, but understanding the risks, benefits, and proper use is essential before starting treatment.

If you’re researching GLP-1 medications, Ozempic, Wegovy, or Semaglutide for weight loss, this discussion will help you better understand whether they may be appropriate for you.
