7:00 pm – 8:00 pm | Is There Anything GLP-1s Can’t Do?

For anyone locked into the discouraging cycle of weight gain-loss-gain or dealing with the health consequences of excess weight, a new class of medication is transformative. Use GLP-1 drugs and you’ll not only shed weight, but also keep it off — as long as you keep taking the medicine. GLP-1 drugs have been approved to treat obesity and diabetes and scientists are excited about their promise in cardiology, brain health, addiction treatment, liver disease, and even sleep disorders. Why are these drugs so powerful? What do we know about their long-term risks and benefits? How do we ensure broad, affordable access?  Martha Gulati, Diana Thiara, Nora Volkow, with Moderator: Alice Park
