Show Notes
Let's talk about weight loss injections. If the headlines are to be believed, we’ve solved the puzzle of how to make fat people thin people…but have we really or is this just another diet packaged as a miracle cure? We reached out to Dr Asher Larmie to give us the inside knowledge of how these injections work, what the large companies and medical professionals are choosing not to show us, and what we know so far from the data and studies we do have.
Asher leaves no stone unturned and gives us the truth behind the glossy headlines, even as far as the links between those promoting them and the profits being made.
In this episode, Asher shares what we do and don’t know about the long-term impact, the probability of weight regain, the risks involved, and all the questions you may want to ask your doctor if they attempt to prescribe this to you.
Asher is our first returning guest and we are incredibly grateful for sharing their time and knowledge with us because this is such an important conversation to have for anyone curious about weight loss injections.
