A new GLP-1 has entered the chat, and I&#x27;m already seeing a lot of confusion around it. Meet Foundayo (orforglipron), a needle-free tablet you take once a day with none of the usual restrictions around timing, food, or storage. On paper, it sounds like the easier option. And for some people, it might be. But like most things in this space, the headline only tells part of the story. In this episode, I’m breaking down what you really need to know before considering it, from cost and access to drug interactions and what the latest trial data shows about maintenance.

Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. How are you all doing? I hope that you are having an amazing summer. For me, the best part of summer is after work, getting for a few hours just to hang out in the backyard. My son kind of runs around and does his thing. He's always got something he's into out there. He is such an outdoor kid. We have these ponds when you've down in the neighborhood by us and it has a little bit of a forest behind it. He's always wanting to go to the pond.

It's super fun to even have an iced water outside. We have this blow-up shark thing. I probably talked about it last year because that's when we got it. Maybe it was the year before. I can't remember. But it's a big blow-up bounce house thing, but it sort of stares and then it has a slide where you come down and it's like the mouth of a shark and the water hose is attached to it. So water comes down. When the kids are going through it, they're already getting sprayed.

And then water accumulates a little bit like a kiddie pool in the bottom of it. So this is really fun. We always do it for his birthday. We'll do it maybe Saturday, Sunday. It's just so super fun. The only thing that's annoying about it, my husband detests how heavy that thing is because we take it out of our mini barn and oh my gosh, is it a feat to open it up, get it connected properly.

God forbid there's a hole that develops so you can really take good care of these things and use it over time. So anyway, I have been super loving that. Today I'm going to talk about, I have not mentioned on the podcast previously, we've not talked a lot about the new medication Fundeo.

That, the other name, it's a mouthful, get ready for it. It's Orforglipron. That medication is an oral non-peptide, meaning it is not a protein. It is a small molecule and it's in pill form and it can be taken orally daily. This does not need to be refrigerated. It is not dependent on the time of day when you take it. And so today I want to go through what this is, how it can be taken, what are some things to look out for, what did the trials show us? Let's just go through all of it.

I want to start first with thi...
