GLP-1 Agonists for Obesity-A New Recipe for Success?
Plain language summary
This Viewpoint discusses the drawbacks of using glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists to treat obesity and presents an alternative approach of initial, staged GLP-1 agonist treatment supported by long-term lifestyle programming, including medically appropriate groceries or meals (“Food Is Medicine”), to address the cost, health, and equity burdens of obesity.
