"Racing for a Solution: The Future of Obesity Drugs in America"

While new weight-loss drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide show promise in helping people lose significant weight, they come with limitations such as high costs and potential side effects. Lifestyle medicine, which focuses on healthy habits like diet, exercise, and stress management, offers long-term benefits beyond weight loss and can be more cost-effective. Incorporating lifestyle medicine into healthcare visits and addressing cultural and policy barriers to healthy living are crucial for addressing the root causes of obesity and improving overall well-being.
