Weight loss medications like GLP-1s are on the rise, but are they the full solution? 🤔

Our Registered Dietitian Lon Ben-Asher, MS, RD, LD/N, explains: while GLP-1s can help with appetite and blood sugar, they often come with side effects and risk of weight regain if lifestyle habits aren’t addressed.
