On today's show, we're going to dive into the topic of GLP-1 agonists, a class of medications that stimulates your pancreas to produce more insulin, slows down digestion, and promotes feelings of fullness. The benefits are that it can help lower your blood sugar level, it can lead to weight loss, and it may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes. But judicious use is essential because these drugs have serious GI side effects and an increased risk of cancer, so it's important to make sure that your decision to take them is well-informed and that you're making it with eyes wide open.
