The news: Pushed by consumer demand and a shortage of the brand-name GLP-1 medications, WeightWatchers (WW) has joined a growing list of companies that will be offering compounded semaglutide (marketed by Novo Nordisk as Ozempic and Wegovy) to its members
Semaglutide (Wegovy), tirzepatide (Zepbound), and liraglutide (Saxenda) are FDA-approved for weight loss in patients without diabetes
Its easy to think, Im just going to lose fat tissue and everythings great. But if were not effectively training and exercising along with those GLP-1s, we can lose muscle mass, too. That challenge sits at the center of MSU Denvers new Bachelor of Science in Sport Nutrition, an interdisciplinary degree launching this fall that combines coursework from Nutrition and Exercise and Sport Sciences
It's incredibly versatile, as it can be grilled, baked, or used as a meat substitute
To distinguish themselves and not get sued, these copycat drugs include additional enhancements, such as vitamin B12, to accompany the broader promise of weight loss
