GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now, praised for dramatic weight loss and better blood sugar control, but also raising important questions about side effects, long-term safety, and access. In this episode, we break down how these drugs actually work, who benefits most, common adverse effects, and practical issues patients and clinicians should consider. Whether you’re curious about the science or wondering if the hype matches reality, this is a clear, balanced look at one of the biggest shifts in modern medicine.

n this episode of CodeHeads' listener Q&A segment "As a CodeHead," we answer a listener question about the biggest myths around cardiac arrest and resuscitation — from "only paramedics can save a life" to "CPR always causes harm" and the idea that a code blue means the patient is already gone. We unpack why these myths persist, review evidence-based perspectives, discuss team roles during a code blue, and give practical tips to improve recognition, response, and outcomes.

This week on Codeheads, we’re breaking CPR out of the classroom and throwing it into the real world. Becauselet’s be honest, codes don’t happen on clean floors and tables with perfect lighting and neatly placed equipment.

We dive into what it actually means to train for reality: adapting CPR education to the environments people work in, whether that’s the back of an ambulance, a crowded ER, or a chaotichospital ward. From space constraints and team dynamics to noise, stress, and unpredictability, we explore how context changes everything—and why your training should reflect that.

Train where you work. Train how you practice.Because when it’s go time, there’s no such thing as a simulation.
