GLP-1 Basics: Do I need a GLP-1 or bariatric surgery?
Episode Description
About 40% of U.S. adults have obesity. Thankfully, there are more treatment options now than ever before. But when considering your options, what factors should you weigh beyond cost and recovery time? And what might life look like after you’ve reached your goal weight?
On this episode of On Nutrition, endocrinologist Meera Shah, M.D., walks us through the considerations that can help you decide whether bariatric surgery or a GLP-1 medication may be right for you, from potential side effects to long-term sustainability.
