In this episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with Endocrinologist Dr. Ashwini Gore to dive deep into one of the hottest topics in health right now: GLP-1 medications.
These groundbreaking drugs, including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and others, were initially designed to treat Type 2 Diabetes, but they’ve recently gained FDA approval for managing obesity and weight-related conditions as recently as 2021.
Dr. Gore, who has been prescribing these medications since 2005, shares her extensive expertise in endocrinology, a specialty focused on hormone-related conditions. She breaks down the science behind GLP-1 medications, how they work differently for diabetic vs. non-diabetic patients, and the vital role of a knowledgeable physician in guiding treatment.
Dr. Gore also discusses side effects, proper usage, and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including resistance training—to maximize results and minimize risks.
If you’re curious about these medications and whether they’re right for you, or just want to learn more about their long-term implications, this episode is packed with expert advice and insights you won’t want to miss!
