Thyroid Talk Episode 30: What's the scoop on GLP-1 agonists? | Send a textThyroid Talk with Dr. Angela Mazza, DORecorded: 4-19-2024SHOW NOTES EPISODE 30GLP-1 DRUGSHost: Dr. Angela Mazza, DOCo-host: Dawn SheffieldI’m Dr. Angela Mazza, D.O., a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with a private practice in Central Florida. My goal forthis podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medical conditions. By providing information in aneasy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive.My goal is to help us live more fulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best.I do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time to prevent or minimize damage.That’s deeply fulfilling. I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of their lives are tied to both thyroid and overall health.That’s why I went into endocrinology. It’s a medical art that combines science with the study of our lives—and all that theyencompass.Here’s some of what we covered, not necessarily in this order: What is GLP-1? What does it do? How does our body make it? What are the class of meds called GLP-1 agonists? Who may be a good candidate for GLP-1s? Who is not a good candidate for GLP-1s? What are the potential benefits and risks of these medications? And best of all, we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health!My book, Thyroid Talk: An Integrative Guide to Optimal Thyroid Health, is available on Amazon.
