GLP-1 RA antiobesity medications: Long-term safety

GLP-1 RA drugs seem like a medical breakthrough that could be life-changing in a good way for millions of patients. What if they cause a serious health issue that becomes life-changing in a bad way?

He has made a career as a researcher and author about overweight, obesity and nutrition. He’s also a doctor who has treated patients for years through Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern Medicine’s Center for Lifestyle Medicine.
