Diabetes expert Dr. William Hsu delves into the unique mechanisms of action, while metabolic health specialist Dr. Matt Chalmers examines how these medications aid the body in burning fat more efficiently.

This episode uncovers the science behind GLP-1s — and what it takes to make them work for lasting results.
