About this episode

Dr. Spencer Nadolsky and Karl sit down with Dr. Susan Brian, a Yale-trained endocrinologist and certified menopause provider who runs a bone fragility fracture clinic, to break down whether GLP-1 medicines are actually causing bone loss or whether the viral panic around this topic is getting ahead of the evidence. The short answer is that the medicines themselves do not appear to be the problem, the weight loss is, and there is a clear and well-established playbook for protecting your bones while on them.
