Cancer has long been known to have a link associated with obesity. Now we have long term data, 15 years, of how weight loss could be changing the incidence of cancer

As time passes, we are learning about the benefits of GLP-1. HOWEVER, is it this medication or is it the effects of healthy eating? The effects of weight loss, where fat cells have decreased? Loss of fat can mean loss of chemicals that are stored in these fat cells which then get lost. Time and more data, more research will be needed. As I continue to read and explore, I will update the blogs with the latest research and information to make the best health choices for you and your family.
