Description

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, discusses the gastrointestinal (GI) side effects commonly experienced by patients using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Rybelsus. Leyla introduces a nutraceutical called Digexin, created by N-X-T-U-S-A, which has shown promise in mitigating these side effects and improving overall well-being. The episode highlights the need for patients to prioritize animal protein intake and incorporate strength training to maintain muscle mass, especially when taking GLP-1 medications. Leyla emphasizes the importance of developing healthy habits and lifestyle changes to sustain weight loss after discontinuing these drugs.
