Sacramento Science Social: GLP-1 Drugs and The Science of Being Slim

Hi, this is Vanessa, your ENLIGHTENMENT salon host.

Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are reshaping our world and our bodies. Behind all the social media hype is a complex biological revolution — can you separate the cultural myths from the clinical facts?

Join me for a talk with Miranda Stiewig-Rapp, professor of endocrinology and director of UC Davis’s new Obesity Medicine Clinic, and find out how these groundbreaking GLP-1 medications rewire hunger, metabolism and long-term human health.

How do they simulate fullness and alter the body’s metabolism?

What is their impact on one’s heart, brain, hormones and overall health?

How should those taking GLP-1 drugs handle their muscle preservation, nutrition and lifestyle?

What’s the latest on drug shortages, insurance barriers and evolving cultural opinion?

Please bring your questions — nothing is too dumb, too small or too big to ask.

Tickets are $10; $5 for students. There will be light refreshments but please feel free to BYO.
