It’s an exciting time to be practicing in obesity medicine, with groundbreaking tools like Zepbound and Wegovy helping people achieve their weight loss goals in ways that were once unimaginable. Plus, with new medications like retatrutide (the triple agonists) on the horizon, the future of weight management is looking even brighter.But with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to figure out which medication is right for you. How do Zepbound and Wegovy compare? Can you switch between the two? Is one more effective than the other? In this episode, I’ll dive into the key differences between Zepbound (Mounjaro) and Wegovy (Ozempic), comparing doses, effectiveness, and answering all your burning questions about how these medications stack up against each other. ReferencesThe Top 5 Mistakes People Make When Starting GLP-1 Season 1 of the Premium Podcast: The Obesity Guide: Behind the CurtainAudio Stamps00:30 - Dr. Rentea sets the stage for a back-to-basics breakdown of Wegovy vs. Zepbound, which touches on key topics like switching, dosing, and access.01:58 - A comparison of Wegovy (GLP-1) and Zepbound (dual GLP-1 and GIP), discussing their average weight loss effects and varying response rates.05:19 - Dr. Rentea discusses the reasons someone might consider switching medications.06:45 - Switching medications shouldn’t involve restarting titration, and working with a knowledgeable physician to manage transitions effectively is key.11:45 - Medication can be a helpful tool, but long-term success depends on working with a skilled physician and staying focused on sustainable progress.Quotes“Within the first few months, it's going to become very clear. Do you need an additional tool? Do we need to tweak things? Do we need to change things?”“These are medications, but they're not everything. You still have to do the heavy lifting on the lifestyle aspect behind the scenes. But you have the ability to switch from one to the other.”“You really should be working with someone who is very familiar with these medications, with switching medications, with adding other things to it, with changing things. There is always something else that can be done.”“We do sometimes see higher results with ZepBound, but there's going to be other medication that comes out that's potentially higher than that. At the end of the day, it's what helps me to keep doing all the other things.”All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.
