Episode Details

Back in Episode 118, Dr. Lisa introduced you to orforglipron, a promising weight loss pill that was still awaiting FDA approval. Well, the wait is officially over. The FDA just approved Foundayo (orforglipron), a once-daily GLP-1 pill for weight loss.

Dr. Lisa covers:

• What Foundayo is, how it works, and what makes it different from other GLP-1 medications
• Clinical trial results: how much weight loss to expect
• How Foundayo compares to the Wegovy pill
• Exactly how to take it (including what to do if you miss a dose)
• Side effects, safety information, and who should NOT take this medication
• Who qualifies, and an important note for parents of teens
• Current pricing for self-pay, insured, and Medicare patients
• Why taking medication for weight loss is never "the easy way out"
