Dr. James Koehler and Kirstin break down the myths vs. facts of GLP-1 weight loss meds. Are they the magic fix people think they are? What’s the difference between the two? And what really happens after the weight comes off?

Dr. Koehler clears up common misconceptions, tells us what  side effects to expect (and how to handle them), and explains why a cosmetic surgery office might just be the best place to get these meds. 

Spoiler: We help patients reach a healthier weight first—then fine-tune things with the right procedures for the best results.
