There's a new headline going around claiming Ozempic might help with fertility — so Dr. Kelsy Vick (board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy) went straight to the source: the actual research presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society's annual conference.

In this episode, we break down two separate findings — one in women with PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) and one in men — and what they actually mean. Spoiler: it's not "Ozempic cures infertility." It's something more specific, more mechanistic, and honestly more interesting than the headlines suggest.

We cover the RESTORE trial out of University of Colorado Anschutz and what it found about semaglutide, weight loss, and ovulation in women with PMOS. We also cover a separate UK-based review of male fertility data — including some genuinely surprising findings about sperm quality and testosterone. Plus, the bigger pattern connecting both: why metabolic health and reproductive health are far more linked than most people realize.

This episode is educational, not medical advice. If semaglutide and fertility are relevant to your life right now, this episode is designed to help you have a smarter, more informed conversation with your provider — not to replace one.

In this episode:

• What ENDO 2026 actually presented on semaglutide and fertility
• The connection between PMOS, insulin resistance, and ovulation
• What the RESTORE trial has found so far — and what it hasn't proven yet
• Surprising new data on GLP-1 medications and male fertility
• Why metabolic health and reproductive health are more connected than you think
• The honest caveats nobody's headline is including

00:00:04,888 --> 00:00:09,207

believe you deserve real education

from real experts, delivered

3

00:00:09,217 --> 00:00:11,127

in a way you can actually use.

4

00:00:11,208 --> 00:00:11,617

I'm Dr.

5

00:00:11,617 --> 00:00:15,607

Kelsey Vick, your board certified

orthopedic doctor of physical therapy, and

6

00:00:15,607 --> 00:00:19,897

this podcast was built for the girl who

is done feeling overwhelmed and frustrated

7

00:00:19,918 --> 00:00:24,257

by conflicting health noise and is ready

for something she can actually trust.

8

00:00:24,387 --> 00:00:28,087

Every week we have honest, science-backed

conversations about your health,

9

00:00:28,148 --> 00:00:31,787

your hormones, your brain, your

body, and everything in between.

10

00:00:32,118 --> 00:00:34,977

No fluff, no fear-mongering,

just the truth.

11

00:00:35,008 --> 00:00:38,208

Because understanding your

body is the most powerful

12

00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:39,807

thing you can do for yourself.

13

00:00:40,348 --> 00:00:43,837

A table full of experts built for

the curious girl who wants the truth.

14

00:00:43,918 --> 00:00:44,568

So welcome.

15

00:00:44,648 --> 00:00:46,088

Your seat is waiting for you.

16

00:01:38,110 --> 00:01:40,140

Ozempic and fertility.

17

00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,971

Two words that I did not expect to go

together this month, but here we are

18

00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:48,201

A major endocrine

conference just presented

19

00:01:48,201 --> 00:01:50,291

Some very interesting early data

20

00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:52,261

Let's break it down without the hype.

21

00:01:52,351 --> 00:01:54,050

Welcome back to Wellness Big Sis the pod.

22

00:01:54,071 --> 00:01:54,761

I'm your host, Dr.

23

00:01:54,761 --> 00:01:57,601

Kelsey Vick, a board-certified

orthopedic doctor of physical therapy

24

00:01:57,601 --> 00:01:59,520

and a pelvic floor physical therapist

25

00:01:59,821 --> 00:02:03,861

And Endo 2026 just wrapped up at

the time I'm filming this episode.

26

00:02:04,101 --> 00:02:06,811

We are still doing our wedding

prep series, so this will come out

27

00:02:07,121 --> 00:02:08,771

as soon after that as possible.

28

00:02:08,781 --> 00:02:13,261

But the Endo 2026 conference just

wrapped up in Chicago, which is

29

00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,911

the Endocrine Society's

big annual conference

30

00:02:16,210 --> 00:02:19,070

And one of the most talked

about presentations was on

31

00:02:19,081 --> 00:02:21,416

semaglutide and reproductive health

32

00:02:21,716 --> 00:02:26,396

Semaglutide is the active

component in Ozempic and Wegovy

33

00:02:26,696 --> 00:02:32,055

A GLP-1 medication initially designed

for diabetes, but now getting

34

00:02:32,055 --> 00:02:37,406

studied to be utilized in a wide

range of other health conditions

35

00:02:37,706 --> 00:02:44,016

We've heard it more recently and way more

trending in the realm of weight loss.

36

00:02:44,055 --> 00:02:49,576

But I thought this presentation on its

use in reproductive health, especially

37

00:02:49,576 --> 00:02:53,936

reproductive health for women with

PCOS, PMOS, which if you missed that

38

00:02:53,936 --> 00:02:57,546

episode, PCOS got a rebrand to PMOS.

39

00:02:57,555 --> 00:03:02,846

So I will try and use that PMOS

terminology throughout this episode.

40

00:03:02,886 --> 00:03:06,976

But just know if you have

PCOS, you have PMOS now.

41

00:03:06,976 --> 00:03:08,806

They're doing this name change.

42

00:03:08,806 --> 00:03:13,286

It's gonna take a while to be fully

adopted, but PCOS is now PMOS.

43

00:03:13,296 --> 00:03:17,036

So do not get confused if you hear

me say PMOS throughout this episode.

44

00:03:17,336 --> 00:03:20,196

So this is preliminary early

stage research, not necessarily

45

00:03:20,206 --> 00:03:22,546

a green light that this is how

clinical practice should be.

46

00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:26,766

This is how all research goes, where

there's initial studies that start to

47

00:03:26,966 --> 00:03:30,506

validate different hypotheses and then

future studies to test and work on

48

00:03:30,506 --> 00:03:34,555

different controls and fine-tune and

see which demographics it applies to.

49

00:03:34,805 --> 00:03:39,276

So we are in the early stage

of all of this, but it's truly

50

00:03:39,576 --> 00:03:43,636

interesting research on the use of

semaglutide for reproductive health

51

00:03:43,936 --> 00:03:46,316

So as a quick refresher, what is PMOS?

52

00:03:46,376 --> 00:03:49,066

PMOS is the new term for PCOS.

53

00:03:49,086 --> 00:03:53,596

It is polyendocrine metabolic

ovarian syndrome rather than the

54

00:03:53,596 --> 00:03:55,756

previous polycystic ovarian syndrome

55

00:03:56,055 --> 00:04:00,196

I'll leave the link to our full episode

that we just recently did below.

56

00:04:00,226 --> 00:04:05,196

But as a sort of quick overview on

what PMOS actually is and the true

57

00:04:05,396 --> 00:04:09,846

root cause of some of the symptoms and

58

00:04:10,146 --> 00:04:13,366

of some of the challenges

that people face with PMOS

59

00:04:13,712 --> 00:04:16,612

PMOS is a complex multi-system condition

60

00:04:16,612 --> 00:04:20,762

involving the metabolic system, the

endocrine system, And the ovaries.

61

00:04:20,781 --> 00:04:25,222

It is not just a reproductive issue,

and it does not have to include cysts.

62

00:04:25,472 --> 00:04:26,952

There were actually never cysts at all.

63

00:04:26,962 --> 00:04:30,402

They were just arrested follicles

at that stage in their development

64

00:04:30,402 --> 00:04:31,272

that looked like cysts.

65

00:04:31,272 --> 00:04:34,882

But cysts were never part of the

equation, which is why, part of the

66

00:04:34,882 --> 00:04:42,312

reason why PCOS had a rebrand to PMOS or

polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome

67

00:04:42,612 --> 00:04:46,632

The metabolic piece is exactly

why the semaglutide and fertility

68

00:04:46,632 --> 00:04:51,532

conversation is so important PMOS

is not a primary fertility problem

69

00:04:51,832 --> 00:04:54,842

It's a metabolic and hormonal

problem that can sometimes

70

00:04:54,842 --> 00:04:57,332

manifest as a fertility issue

71

00:04:57,632 --> 00:05:02,632

Which is precisely the way and the

mechanism behind why semaglutide

72

00:05:02,632 --> 00:05:08,122

might actually lead to improvement in

reproductive health for these girls with

73

00:05:09,086 --> 00:05:09,096

PMOS.

74

00:05:09,096 --> 00:05:13,776

As semaglutide often targets the

metabolic component of our bodies

75

00:05:14,076 --> 00:05:17,896

PMOS affects about 170

million women worldwide.

76

00:05:17,896 --> 00:05:22,886

So this study is probably relevant to a

wide majority of you So researchers from

77

00:05:22,886 --> 00:05:27,146

the University of Colorado Anschutz looked

at a subset of participants in something

78

00:05:27,146 --> 00:05:32,956

called the RESTORE Trial, an ongoing study

testing whether semaglutide or metformin

79

00:05:32,956 --> 00:05:37,716

can restore ovulation in adolescents

and adults with PMOS and obesity.

80

00:05:38,016 --> 00:05:44,726

So the studied participants were between

the ages of 12 to 35 who lost at least 10%

81

00:05:44,776 --> 00:05:47,256

of their body weight while on semaglutide.

82

00:05:47,556 --> 00:05:51,796

And again, this is an ongoing study, which

is why that age range is so large, because

83

00:05:51,796 --> 00:05:55,866

the idea would be that you're tracking

a lot of these women that, and girls

84

00:05:55,866 --> 00:06:00,316

that are part of the study as they move

throughout different stages of their life

85

00:06:00,476 --> 00:06:02,916

and their hormonal journey

throughout our lives

86

00:06:03,216 --> 00:06:04,146

So here's what they found.

87

00:06:04,356 --> 00:06:07,516

Reproductive markers improved,

and they improved earlier

88

00:06:07,516 --> 00:06:08,816

than the researchers expected.

89

00:06:09,136 --> 00:06:12,306

That's actually why this preliminary

data got published now instead of

90

00:06:12,306 --> 00:06:14,536

waiting for the full trial to wrap up

91

00:06:14,686 --> 00:06:19,146

In PMOS, there's a relative rise

in androgens, those male hormones

92

00:06:19,416 --> 00:06:21,586

alongside insulin resistance

93

00:06:21,886 --> 00:06:26,136

That combination can stall egg

development and disrupt ovulation

94

00:06:26,436 --> 00:06:31,236

Without regular ovulation,

conceiving becomes very difficult

95

00:06:31,536 --> 00:06:36,286

And unpredictable, which is how the

metabolic and hormonal component of

96

00:06:36,626 --> 00:06:38,896

PMOS ties into the fertility component

97

00:06:39,196 --> 00:06:40,826

excess body fat also

98

00:06:41,126 --> 00:06:46,366

produces additional estrogen, further

disrupting that hormonal balance,

99

00:06:46,366 --> 00:06:50,366

that hormonal song and dance needed

for menstrual cycle regularity

100

00:06:50,666 --> 00:06:53,166

Higher body weight can

also affect egg quality

101

00:06:53,466 --> 00:06:57,416

and even the uterine lining itself,

making implantation that much harder

102

00:06:57,716 --> 00:07:00,906

So the logic behind the

study was that if semaglutide

103

00:07:00,906 --> 00:07:02,666

helps with significant weight loss.

104

00:07:02,726 --> 00:07:04,676

And weight loss can

105

00:07:04,976 --> 00:07:09,666

help address the underlying insulin

resistance and hormonal imbalance

106

00:07:09,966 --> 00:07:13,196

ovulation may naturally

improve as a downstream effect

107

00:07:13,496 --> 00:07:17,896

It's not that semaglutide is directly

boosting fertility But it's helping

108

00:07:17,896 --> 00:07:19,816

to treat that metabolic root cause

109

00:07:20,116 --> 00:07:22,216

that was disrupting

fertility in the first place

110

00:07:22,516 --> 00:07:27,106

So before anyone with PMO S rushes

to get a semaglutide prescription,

111

00:07:27,456 --> 00:07:29,126

remember this is early on.

112

00:07:29,136 --> 00:07:32,546

So let's chat about what the

study actually does tell us and

113

00:07:32,546 --> 00:07:33,966

maybe some of the limitations

114

00:07:34,266 --> 00:07:40,736

This is a preliminary analysis of a subset

Of a larger still ongoing trial It's not a

115

00:07:40,736 --> 00:07:42,956

completed peer-reviewed research study yet

116

00:07:43,256 --> 00:07:47,686

So yes, this is still a small sample

size, which is one of the limitations

117

00:07:47,986 --> 00:07:51,656

The big question is we don't know

whether or not these reproductive

118

00:07:51,656 --> 00:07:53,916

improvements are sustained long term

119

00:07:54,216 --> 00:07:57,966

That's one of the reasons the RESTORE

trial is continuing to run to see is

120

00:07:57,966 --> 00:08:02,466

this an acute improvement or does the

use of semaglutide to help women with

121

00:08:02,466 --> 00:08:06,526

PMOS have more of these long-term

effects on their reproductive health?

122

00:08:06,826 --> 00:08:09,476

The researchers themselves frame this as

123

00:08:09,776 --> 00:08:14,566

weight loss and metabolic improvement

driving the fertility benefit

124

00:08:14,866 --> 00:08:19,316

not semaglutide having a direct

effect on fertility itself.

125

00:08:19,616 --> 00:08:22,346

Semaglutide is not currently

recommended during pregnancy

126

00:08:22,646 --> 00:08:27,416

And there isn't enough safety data yet on

its usage during that preconception phase

127

00:08:27,716 --> 00:08:32,936

If ovulation does improve And someone

becomes more fertile on the medication

128

00:08:33,236 --> 00:08:38,665

That raises real practical questions

on timing, dosage monitoring,

129

00:08:38,676 --> 00:08:40,316

and communication with a provider

130

00:08:40,616 --> 00:08:43,786

Which is why this conversation is

definitely one to have with your

131

00:08:43,786 --> 00:08:48,026

provider, not just this like do it

yourself way of improving your fertility

132

00:08:48,326 --> 00:08:49,496

This is promising.

133

00:08:49,756 --> 00:08:51,556

Mechanistically, it makes sense.

134

00:08:51,626 --> 00:08:52,696

Early stage data

135

00:08:52,996 --> 00:08:58,146

And not an official recommended

prescription or clinical treatment.

136

00:08:58,156 --> 00:09:01,396

But I thought it was a super cool

study to dive into, especially since

137

00:09:01,396 --> 00:09:04,796

the researchers themselves felt

like this research was worthy enough

138

00:09:04,806 --> 00:09:08,406

to be presented at this new phase,

rather than waiting until the full

139

00:09:08,406 --> 00:09:09,836

study and the full trial was over.

140

00:09:10,136 --> 00:09:15,136

I love that this is this unselfish act for

them to say, "This is what we're finding.

141

00:09:15,366 --> 00:09:19,336

If anyone else has this interest and

wants to study or sees this in their

142

00:09:19,336 --> 00:09:22,266

own clinical practice this is one

of the things that we're finding and

143

00:09:22,266 --> 00:09:26,466

might be able to help these women

with PMOS with some of the fertility

144

00:09:26,466 --> 00:09:29,296

challenges that they have and some of

these fertility fears that they have."

145

00:09:29,596 --> 00:09:34,346

I also think this is one of the

primary examples on why PCOS

146

00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:36,256

actually needed this rebrand to PMOS.

147

00:09:37,502 --> 00:09:42,412

We talked about how semaglutide affects

the metabolic system in our bodies.

148

00:09:42,742 --> 00:09:46,842

If PCOS was still viewed as polycystic

ovarian syndrome, there's a lot of

149

00:09:46,852 --> 00:09:50,422

people who wouldn't understand that

the metabolic component is one of

150

00:09:50,422 --> 00:09:54,302

the parts that underlies some of

the fertility challenges of PMOS.

151

00:09:54,312 --> 00:10:00,732

So I think this is another example of the

positive benefit that is going to come to

152

00:10:00,742 --> 00:10:03,492

girls with PMOS because of the name change

153

00:10:03,792 --> 00:10:08,732

So let's talk about the other side of

the conference and what they found in men

154

00:10:09,032 --> 00:10:11,392

For years, there has been this

155

00:10:11,392 --> 00:10:15,652

lingering worry that some of these

medications might affect male fertility,

156

00:10:15,972 --> 00:10:19,862

But the new data says the opposite A

separate research team from University

157

00:10:19,862 --> 00:10:24,392

Hospitals Coventry in Warwickshire

and Warwick Medical School in the UK

158

00:10:24,692 --> 00:10:28,902

reviewed the randomized controlled

trial, specifically looking at GLP-1

159

00:10:29,242 --> 00:10:31,372

drugs and male reproductive health.

160

00:10:31,672 --> 00:10:36,392

So men between the ages of eighteen

and sixty-five were studied

161

00:10:36,392 --> 00:10:40,222

comparing GLP-1 medications like

semaglutide and liraglutide against

162

00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:42,402

placebo or alternative treatments.

163

00:10:42,432 --> 00:10:44,982

What they found, there was no

evidence of negative effects on

164

00:10:44,982 --> 00:10:48,922

testosterone, reproductive hormones,

sexual function, or sperm quality.

165

00:10:49,222 --> 00:10:52,432

A twenty-four-week semaglutide

trial actually showed improved sperm

166

00:10:52,432 --> 00:10:57,032

morphology, meaning healthier shaped

sperm and improved cholesterol levels

167

00:10:57,032 --> 00:10:58,862

while keeping hormone levels stable.

168

00:10:59,162 --> 00:11:03,702

A separate sixteen-week liraglutide

trial found increased testosterone and

169

00:11:03,702 --> 00:11:07,452

related reproductive hormones in men

with obesity-related low testosterone.

170

00:11:07,752 --> 00:11:11,002

Notably, the overall health

outcome in these men were better

171

00:11:11,002 --> 00:11:13,752

than what's typically seen with

testosterone replacement therapy

172

00:11:13,752 --> 00:11:19,242

alone So why does this matter for

us on this female-specific podcast?

173

00:11:19,592 --> 00:11:22,122

obesity-related low

testosterone is incredibly

174

00:11:22,187 --> 00:11:27,027

common and fits into the other side of

the equation when trying to conceive.

175

00:11:27,327 --> 00:11:30,877

We've done a male fertility episode,

which is why I wanted to include this

176

00:11:30,877 --> 00:11:35,997

study that was also presented at the

ENDO 2026 conference So obesity-related

177

00:11:35,997 --> 00:11:40,027

low testosterone is very common

and often treated with testosterone

178

00:11:40,027 --> 00:11:44,377

replacement therapy, which doesn't

address the underlying metabolic

179

00:11:44,677 --> 00:11:46,457

cause and can actually suppress

180

00:11:46,757 --> 00:11:49,257

natural sperm production in some cases

181

00:11:49,557 --> 00:11:53,647

This research suggests that treating the

obesity itself, that metabolic component

182

00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:58,757

Rather than just replacing testosterone

may be the smarter long-term approach

183

00:11:59,057 --> 00:12:01,707

for both hormone health

and fertility preservation

184

00:12:02,007 --> 00:12:05,077

So the fear that some of these

medications might negatively impact

185

00:12:05,077 --> 00:12:09,577

male fertility seems to be unfounded,

especially with this newer data

186

00:12:09,877 --> 00:12:13,567

and may actually help improve fertility

Compared to some of the typical

187

00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:15,127

current treatment recommendations

188

00:12:15,427 --> 00:12:19,467

And if you're thinking, "Okay, so

semaglutide affecting the metabolic

189

00:12:19,477 --> 00:12:23,997

component can also help male fertility,"

sounds very similar to semaglutide helping

190

00:12:24,237 --> 00:12:27,787

the metabolic and weight loss component

for females to also help our fertility.

191

00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:30,717

You're noticing a little bit of

a pattern and a little bit of a

192

00:12:30,717 --> 00:12:34,047

connection there In both men and

women, the research is pointing

193

00:12:34,347 --> 00:12:40,227

to the same underlying truth Obesity and

metabolic dysfunction are major underlying

194

00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:44,087

well-established disruptors of

reproductive hormone signaling

195

00:12:44,387 --> 00:12:49,287

In women, this can look like disrupted

ovulation, hormone imbalance, and

196

00:12:49,297 --> 00:12:53,077

impaired egg quality In men, this

can look like low testosterone

197

00:12:53,377 --> 00:12:57,067

functional hypogonadism

and impaired sperm quality

198

00:12:57,367 --> 00:13:01,937

So both of these studies show

that rather than treating the

199

00:13:02,237 --> 00:13:04,087

Reproductive symptoms in isolation

200

00:13:04,387 --> 00:13:07,397

like doing fertility treatments in

women and testosterone replacement

201

00:13:07,397 --> 00:13:11,497

therapy in men Addressing the

root metabolic dysfunction first

202

00:13:11,797 --> 00:13:16,517

may produce better and more sustainable

reproductive outcomes so much of

203

00:13:16,517 --> 00:13:18,597

female and male hormonal health

204

00:13:18,897 --> 00:13:23,387

is downstream of metabolic health

insulin resistance, chronic inflammation

205

00:13:23,687 --> 00:13:25,407

and exercise adiposity

206

00:13:25,707 --> 00:13:28,857

don't just affect how you feel day to day

207

00:13:29,157 --> 00:13:33,627

They directly interfere with some of the

hormonal systems that govern Reproduction

208

00:13:33,927 --> 00:13:36,947

So finally, the connection between

our reproductive health and our

209

00:13:36,947 --> 00:13:40,377

metabolic health is getting the

much-needed attention that it

210

00:13:40,387 --> 00:13:44,687

deserves this is genuinely exciting

early-stage research that I feel like

211

00:13:44,687 --> 00:13:46,077

not a lot of people will know about.

212

00:13:46,077 --> 00:13:49,617

So bring this up at your next

dinner party conversation.

213

00:13:49,837 --> 00:13:54,257

Weave this in because this is that

early-stage data that I feel like is going

214

00:13:54,257 --> 00:13:59,657

to become more mainstream as the studies

progress and more and more studies are

215

00:13:59,657 --> 00:14:05,897

presented understanding and researching

the effects of metabolism and reproduction

216

00:14:06,197 --> 00:14:09,247

And it's a great example why

root cause thinking in medicine

217

00:14:09,547 --> 00:14:13,137

actually matters rather than

just putting something, putting

218

00:14:13,137 --> 00:14:15,877

a Band-Aid over something and

treating what is at the surface

219

00:14:16,177 --> 00:14:20,847

So if you have PMOS and are currently

in your own fertility journey,

220

00:14:21,097 --> 00:14:24,447

these might be some studies that you

bring to your healthcare provider

221

00:14:24,447 --> 00:14:25,937

to chat through and discuss.

222

00:14:25,987 --> 00:14:27,317

This is not a DIY thing.

223

00:14:27,317 --> 00:14:28,527

This is not me recommending it.

224

00:14:28,557 --> 00:14:30,157

This is truly early stage data.

225

00:14:30,167 --> 00:14:34,727

But if you have hit a wall when it

comes to your own fertility journey

226

00:14:34,987 --> 00:14:39,657

and you happen to have PMOS or an

underlying metabolic component to

227

00:14:39,897 --> 00:14:45,027

your fertility challenges, this might

be very helpful in helping you to

228

00:14:45,327 --> 00:14:48,937

achieve the reproductive goal you have

in mind, whether that is conception

229

00:14:48,947 --> 00:14:53,227

or just better understanding your

own menstrual cycle and ovulatory

230

00:14:53,227 --> 00:14:55,137

patterns, or regaining ovulation

231

00:14:55,437 --> 00:14:57,747

So a quick episode, but I

hope you guys enjoyed it.

232

00:14:57,747 --> 00:14:58,767

I know I learned a lot.

233

00:14:58,787 --> 00:15:01,687

When I was first presented with this

information, I was like, "Okay, we

234

00:15:01,687 --> 00:15:03,957

have to talk about it," because it's

235

00:15:04,257 --> 00:15:07,537

Going to be very important

for 170 million, but also that

236

00:15:07,557 --> 00:15:08,767

male side of the equation too.

237

00:15:08,767 --> 00:15:12,207

So it reminds me of what

we talked about with Dr.

238

00:15:12,207 --> 00:15:17,037

Emily back on in early in the year,

in January, February timeframe,

239

00:15:17,037 --> 00:15:22,027

where she was saying a lot of

medications are presented as one way.

240

00:15:22,027 --> 00:15:24,367

So birth control medication

presented for birth control.

241

00:15:24,367 --> 00:15:27,947

Semaglutide and Ozempic and

Wegovy presented as weight loss.

242

00:15:27,997 --> 00:15:31,707

But if we can look at it from a different

lens and realize that all of these

243

00:15:31,707 --> 00:15:35,647

medications have systemic effects and

full body effects, if we can use them in

244

00:15:35,647 --> 00:15:40,577

a positive way for another system within

our body, let's open it up and decrease

245

00:15:40,587 --> 00:15:44,917

some of the fear surrounding this weight

loss drug or this drug that has been

246

00:15:44,917 --> 00:15:47,407

previously prescribed for something else.

247

00:15:47,417 --> 00:15:50,497

So it's, reminiscent of

that conversation with Dr.

248

00:15:50,497 --> 00:15:50,777

Emily.

249

00:15:50,777 --> 00:15:52,137

So I hope you guys learned a lot.

250

00:15:52,167 --> 00:15:54,907

I know I did, and I will see you

guys again on the next episode

251

00:15:54,937 --> 00:15:56,067

of Wellness Fixes the Pod.
