Wellness Wednesday

You have tried the diets, you have attempted the gym and you are exhausted from juggling work deadlines and a family that wants to stop at the drive-thru on the way home. Then along comes what many are calling the miracle drug of the decade. GLP-1 injectables like Ozempic and Mounjaro that seem to melt the weight away almost effortlessly. But how do they actually work, what happens to your body during the process and what does life look like after the injections stop?

Dr Rachelle Toi, Johannesburg-based GP and functional medicine practitioner with an MBChB from the University of Cape Town, joins the show to take us through everything you need to know about GLP-1s. From the science behind how they work to the dreaded "Ozempic face" that can come with rapid weight loss, and most importantly, what you need to do to keep the weight off once the injections are done. This is the conversation about the miracle weight loss injection that nobody is having honestly enough, and Dr Toi is here to change that.
