Description
In this episode of the Movement Prescription Podcast, Callum sits down with GP and lifestyle medicine experts Hussain and Suzy to explore the transformative role of GLP-1 agonists in obesity management. They discuss how medications like Saxenda and Wegovy work to modulate hunger and satiety, and emphasize the importance of pairing these treatments with lifestyle changes—especially regular physical activity—to achieve sustainable weight loss. The conversation also delves into potential side effects, the benefits of preserving muscle mass through resistance training, and the broader challenges faced within the NHS. Tune in for evidence-based insights and actionable strategies for integrating pharmacological and lifestyle interventions in the fight against obesity.
