Episode 266: The Benefits of GLP-1s and Peptide Therapy with Dr Stephanie Rimka

The peptide world seemed to explode onto the scene with the popularity of GLP-1s (like Ozempic) for weight loss. Although my initial reaction was skeptical (great, another weight loss “magic bullet” that’s going to fail people in the end), I’ve learned that GLP-1s and other peptides have been used therapeutically for decades. Although there can be abuse of application and poor guidance around peptide use, there’s no denying how helpful they can be when used appropriately.
In this week’s episode, peptide expert Dr. Stephanie Rimka is explaining the benefits of GLP-1s and peptide therapy. Come listen for important insight on who’s a good candidate for peptides and the best way to utilize them!
