Dr. Jennifer Ashton: The Truth Behind the Scary GLP-1 Brain Disorder Headlines

- Dr. Jennifer Ashton calls a viral headline linking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs to a potentially deadly brain disorder “fear mongering,” while explaining that the underlying studies identify only a very small number of reported cases.

- Ashton explains that reduced food intake on GLP-1 medications can also mean fewer micronutrients and says patients should discuss multivitamin use with their healthcare provider.

- The conversation tackles the confusing world of supplements, including calcium, B vitamins and iron, with Ashton warning that more is not always better and that supplements can carry real risks.

- Ashton says women over 50 should generally focus on getting calcium from food rather than automatically relying on high-dose calcium supplements.

- Standing desks, saunas, strength training and everyday exercise round out the discussion, with Ashton stressing that healthy habits do not have to be enjoyable to be worthwhile.
