#71: Weight Loss Drugs

40+ Fitness for Women: Strength Training, Health & Weight Loss for Women in menopause & perimenopause

Weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are becoming mainstream in the USA. The shots are being offered not only to those who need to lose weight for health reasons but also to normal-weight people who are looking for an easy way to get skinny. Women especially are hopping on board the weight loss bus.

But as with any drug, there are downsides too.

In this episode of the podcast, I share my thoughts on using weight loss drugs.
