We are in the midst of a weight loss revolution, and it's not thanks to your local quack-doctor or health guru. Semaglutide, a glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1) agonist, is approved by the FDA for weight loss and has been all over the mainstream and social media as a miracle drug that millions are turning to to shed excess weight. But where did this medicine come from and what is the science, and even the risks behind it? That is the topic for this episode of Health In Harlem. As always, we welcome your questions and comments and we hope that you learn from our program and the only thing we ask is that you share what you learn with anyone that will listen. Harlem (aka people of the World), take care of yourself.
