by | May 27, 2025 | The Health Made Simple Show

If you’re on a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro — or even just considering it — Dr. Bart has an urgent message for you. These medications have become some of the most talked-about tools in the health world for weight loss, insulin resistance, and blood sugar control. But are they too good to be true?

With all the buzz comes uncertainty: Am I safe on this long-term? What labs should I be watching? What are the real risks no one is talking about?

In this episode, Dr. Bart lays it all out — the pros, the red flags, and the exact markers you should be monitoring if you’re using a GLP-1 or similar medication. This isn’t just theory — it’s based on what he’s seeing in real patients who want to use these tools responsibly.

You’ll learn:

  • The key lab markers that reveal how your body is responding to GLP-1s
  • What to do if your energy, digestion, or muscle tone starts slipping
  • Why you may be seeing weight loss but still feel worse (and what to do about it)
  • The two questions you MUST ask before starting any long-term prescription
