GLP-1 Medications: Comparing Your Options for Weight Management

GLP-1 medications are changing how we approach weight management – but they’re just one part of a bigger, more compassionate picture. In this episode, we explore why shame and blame have never worked in treating obesity and how shared decision-making can lead to better outcomes. Obesity is a chronic disease, not a personal failure, and effective care must be rooted in respect, science, and realistic expectations. We spoke with Robert Kushner, MD, renowned obesity medicine specialist, who breaks down how GLP-1s work, the different options available – from pills to injections – and how to partner with your doctor to find the approach that’s right for you.
