Most people think GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound are just for weight loss. The research tells a much bigger story. I'm Dr. Mohammed Paika, board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine, with more than 15 years as a hospitalist. In this video I count down 12 evidence-graded health benefits of GLP-1 medications beyond the scale, plus a bonus from the newest cancer research.

You'll learn what the major trials show about your heart, liver, kidneys, blood pressure, sleep apnea, inflammation, alcohol cravings, joint pain and blood sugar. I also cover what the latest Alzheimer's trials actually found. Stay for number 1: a major analysis of the SELECT trial found that about two-thirds of the heart protection wasn't explained by weight loss.
