Mini Mikkipedia - Wegovy: A Perspective for Real Life

In this Mini Mikkipedia Monday, I break down what you actually need to know about Wegovy (semaglutide), now available in New Zealand. There’s a lot of noise around this weight loss medication—from the science to the stigma—and in this episode, I aim to cut through it with facts and context. I cover how GLP-1 agonists work, what makes them effective, and why they’re not just another “quick fix.” From appetite suppression and craving control to weight maintenance and muscle loss concerns, I offer a balanced look at the pros, cons, and common misconceptions. Plus, I share my take on why we need less judgment and more empathy when it comes to using tools like these in our broken food environment. Highlights:The difference between Wegovy and Ozempic: use case and dosingHow GLP-1 receptor agonists impact appetite, cravings, and metabolic healthThe role of semaglutide in long-term weight loss and potential downsidesWhy muscle loss isn’t a direct effect of the drug—and how to prevent itThe wider implications for public health and why lifestyle vs. medication is a false dichotomy Contact Mikki: https://mikkiwilliden.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutrition https://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/ https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.com Curranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order
