As weight loss drug demand soars, physician outlines effectiveness and potential downsides

William Brangham:

Currently, about 1 in 8 U.S. adults say they take GLP-1. But amid excitement about their effectiveness, some experts are mindful of the limitations of some drugs and their costs, and wonder how they will play out in the country’s long fight against obesity. He also states that it is important to better understand where people are located.

To see what’s going on, we’re joined by Dr. Jody Duchey. She is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and a clinical endocrinologist specializing in medical weight management.

Dr. Duchey, we’re really happy to have you on the program.

You prescribe these drugs to some patients. From your perspective, what are they doing? Especially how effective is it in losing weight?

Dr. Jodi Duchey, Department of Nutrition, Harvard Medical School: First of all, I just want to say thank you so much for having me. I’m honored to be on the show. I would also like to state that I have no conflicts of interest.

So in terms of how these drugs work and how effective they are, you often hear patients using the same words to describe how the drugs work. So people will tell me that their appetite has decreased, that they don’t think about food as much. The term food noise is often used.

So people will tell me that they don’t think about food as much anymore because they hear a lot less food. On the other hand, you probably used to wake up in the morning and think about what to eat. breakfast. While I’m eating breakfast, I’m already thinking about what I’m going to eat next. And it becomes really quiet for people, and it’s not only easier to eat in small portions, but also eat. You still eat food that you enjoy, but you eat less and feel satisfied.

These are the main things I hear from people who are taking these drugs to lose weight. It’s meant to help you lose weight.
