    Jul 23 2024

    If your weight gain is from cortisol will the injections like semaglutide or tirzepatide help? Tune in to learn more! Summary In this episode of the She's Healthy podcast, host Lori Aikman discusses the effects of injections like semaglutide and terzepatide on cortisol levels. She explains that cortisol is the stress hormone released by the adrenal glands, and high cortisol levels can lead to hormonal imbalances and weight gain. Aikman explores how these weight loss drugs can affect cortisol levels and help regulate blood sugar and insulin.

Overall, Aikman emphasizes the potential of these medications to address cortisol-related weight gain and improve overall health.
