Real-World GLP-1 Use and Insurance Barriers

We are living through one of the most significant shifts in medicine in generations, and most people don’t fully understand what it means. Dr. Christle Guevarra joins me to zoom out on the entire GLP-1 landscape; from the drug’s origins as a modest diabetes treatment in 2005 to today’s third-generation medications still moving through clinical trials, and what all of it means for the future of obesity, performance, and longevity.
