In this interview, Michael Weintraub, MD, discusses key findings from studies of retatrutide, survodutide, oral GLP-1 receptor agonists, and amylin-based therapies
Elevated hematocrit increases blood viscosity and cardiovascular risk

Your doctor will help determine if this approach fits your goals and needs
Unlike prior weight-loss medications that act on one or two incretin pathways, retatrutide stimulates three , resulting in: Significant reductions in appetite Enhanced energy expenditure Dramatic improvements in metabolic markers Some of the largest weight-loss percentages ever observed in a clinical trial The enthusiasm is justified
