Medical Weight Loss Pt. 5 - The Magic Pill

BONUS EPISODE! Surprise! Novo Nordisk’s shared a major announcement that the Oasis 1 trial showed massive weight loss results with ORAL Semaglutide. The DoctorXDietitian are excited to bring you an episode about this new “magic pill”.

Just like injectable GLP-1 agonists, the oral version has been around for years to treat Type II Diabetes. However, also like Wegovy, we have learned that higher doses have an additional side effect - more weight loss.

Dr. Dovec, board-certified bariatric surgeon and Diplomate in the board of obesity medicine, passionately explains the synergistic amplification of taking the right weight loss medication at the right time after bariatric surgery. Hannah Schuyler, RD shares her insight into the medications and the lifestyle changes that go along with them, and only gets on one soap box.

Could the launch of higher dose, oral Semaglutide be the answer to increasing access, affordability, efficacy, and compliance to help more patients who struggle with obesity?

The Doctor Dietitian collab believe in magic, do you?!
