How do weight loss injections work and does the weight pile on again when you stop them? You’ve heard about your G-spot but what about your A-spot and your O-spot ? And how to deal with a phobia of needles.

In this episode, Bariatrician GP Dr Jessica McEwan talks about the potential benefits and risks of GLP-1 agonists including what happens if you take too much. We also discuss how to talk to your GP to find out if you meet the appropriate guidelines for prescription and how lifestyle changes including diet and exercise are crucial to their success.

Also, we talk about how the food industry is trying to make ultra-processed foods even more addictive to override the effects of these drugs.
