GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have taken the weight loss world by storm—but with their rapid rise comes a hidden danger. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we expose the growing number of online services offering quick access to these powerful drugs—often without essential safety checks.
We break down the three types of GLP-1 providers you’ll encounter online—from legitimate telehealth practices to risky overseas sellers—and help you spot red flags that could put your health at risk. Most alarming? Many of these services skip critical lab tests needed before starting treatment.
You’ll learn why tests for kidney and liver function, thyroid markers, and blood glucose are non-negotiable—and how skipping them could lead to serious complications, including muscle loss, blood sugar crashes, or unmonitored side effects.
We also share how at-home blood testing through mobile services can empower safer GLP-1 use, even when working with telehealth providers. This episode is your go-to guide for protecting your body while navigating the world of prescription weight loss.
