In this episode, we do the first ever CCU Podcast 3 way, as I sit down with Dean Guedo and Jeb Johnston to dive deep into the medications that have been sweeping through North America - GLP1 Agonists.  The class of GLP1 drugs includes, Semaglutide (Ozempic), Terzepatide (Mounjaro) and the newest generation, yet to be released, Retatrutide.  These drugs have been showing incredible results in the treatment of Type-2 Diabetes and being used off-label in the treatment of obesity.There is a lot of drama around these drugs because, just like anything that works, it brings up a lot of emotions - are they an easy way out, or a boon for the health industry?  Are we setting people up for failure long term?  Can the weight loss be maintained?  We dive into it all.Dean is a strength and nutrition coach driven to find a better, more efficient way to help people optimize their lives. The recipe I'm selling is doing more, eating more, moving more.Jeb has spent the past ten years guiding people through their fitness journey as a personal trainer and online nutrition coach.
