In this episode of Dr. Rock’s Family Practice, Dr. Matthew Kettman dives into the buzz around GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Tirzepatide. Once designed for diabetes, these medications are now making waves for their powerful weight loss effects—and there's much more to them than meets the eye.
Dr. Kettman explains how these drugs work by mimicking a natural hormone that signals fullness, helping people eat less and feel better. He also shares how they’ve been shown to lower inflammation, protect the heart, and even support liver and kidney health.
While the results are exciting, Dr. Kettman keeps it real about side effects like nausea and emphasizes the importance of proper medical supervision. He also talks through options for accessing these medications, from insurance to compounding pharmacies.
Whether you’re curious about these meds for weight loss, diabetes, or overall wellness, this episode offers clear, practical advice with a healthy dose of optimism.
