Combining strength training with aerobic exercises is a great way to keep your body in functional condition
Whether people will actually ditch the gray market in favor of pricier compounded drugs remains an open question (more on that below)
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro for diabetes, Zepbound for weight loss) activates two receptors GLP-1 and GIP which is why it tends to produce somewhat stronger weight-loss results on average
Hims says its providers will now be able to offer GLP-1 microdosing treatment plans, which are presumably at a significantly different dose than those manufactured by Novo, to treat a broader range of conditions
In some cases, switching to a different medication with a different pharmacokinetic profile may be appropriate, as individual responses vary
A stronger medication effect may also introduce new risks, side effects, or patient-selection concerns
