S05_E11 - The SKinny on GLP-1s...
With Special Guest: Dr. Maureen Martin, PharmD, MPH
You really can't escape the marketing tactics of GLP-1s these days - because they're everywhere... But beyond the odd names there's a lot to know about them, and we're still learning about all the things they can do! Although they were originally meant to treat type 2 diabetes, these drugs have emerged as one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of the past decade. But is it all roses? Who should take these drugs and for how long? What happens when you stop taking them? And who comes up with these names, anyway?
One Episode 11 we'll be joined by Dr. Maureen Martin (PharmD, MPH) to get to the bottom of the most pressing questions around these metabolic "miracles". We'll talk about how they work, their current and emerging uses, the proper ways they should be prescribed and administered, the potential pitfalls and why there's so damned expensive (at least in the U.S.). Join us!
