6 Lifestyle Changes to Prepare For if Your Doctor Suggested a GLP-1 to Treat Obesity6 Lifestyle Changes to Prepare For if Your Doctor Suggested a GLP-1 to Treat Obesity
GLP-1s can be a game changer, but lifestyle habits are still important. GLP-1s can be a game changer, but lifestyle habits are still important.
The next Ozempic: A 4-in-1 breakthrough for lasting weight lossThe next Ozempic: A 4-in-1 breakthrough for lasting weight loss
Scientists are racing to improve weight loss treatments beyond drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are effective but plagued by nausea, bone loss, and weight regain. Tufts University chemists have created a new multi-target compound that goes beyond the usual GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon approaches by adding a fourth hormone, PYY. This “quadruple-action” design aims Read More

GLP-1 receptor agonists, cancer risk and questionable significanceGLP-1 receptor agonists, cancer risk and questionable significance
Research led by the Indiana University School of Medicine and the University of Florida reports an association between taking GLP-1 receptor agonists and lower overall cancer risk in adults with obesity or overweight, with a reduced risk for ovarian cancer and a possible increased risk of kidney cancer. Research led by the Indiana University School Read More
Losing weight but gaining weakness? What Ozempic might be doing to your musclesLosing weight but gaining weakness? What Ozempic might be doing to your muscles
Ozempic’s weight loss benefits might come at the cost of muscle strength, even if muscle size remains relatively stable. This raises significant concerns for older adults, who are already at risk for muscle loss and reduced mobility. Researchers stress the urgent need for human clinical trials to understand these effects fully. Ozempic’s weight loss benefits Read More

Fat melts away, but so does muscle: What Ozempic users need to knowFat melts away, but so does muscle: What Ozempic users need to know
GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are transforming weight loss, but a new UVA study warns they’re not improving a critical measure of health: cardiorespiratory fitness. While these medications help people shed fat, they also strip away vital muscle mass raising concerns about long-term heart health, physical function, and mortality. The researchers urge combining treatment with exercise, Read More

Beyond Ozempic: New weight loss drug rivals surgeryBeyond Ozempic: New weight loss drug rivals surgery
Tufts University scientists are aiming to revolutionize the future of weight loss drugs by engineering a new compound that targets four gut hormones instead of the usual one to three. These next-gen tetra-functional peptides may overcome the limitations of current drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro especially their nausea, muscle loss, and rebound weight gain. Tufts Read More
