Back to EpisodesThe New Ozempic Pill — Is It Actually Ready for Primetime? | Dr. Randi Lindstrom | EP 93
Description
A daily Ozempic pill instead of a weekly injection, BUT what happens when you stop?
The new oral GLP-1 just launched, and the early numbers on who's actually taking it tell a story. There are real reasons your doctor might steer you away from it, and they go deeper than needle avoidance.
Dr. Kate Dee sits down with GLP-1 prescriber Dr. Randi Lindstrom to get into the details nobody is spelling out clearly. And then there's the question keeping a lot of women up at night: what actually happens when you stop?
A brand new study just gave us the closest thing to a real answer, and the results are more complicated than anyone wants to admit.
