"When I talk to my patients, instead of calling it the most beautiful time of year, I call it the most challenging time of the year," says Dr. Andres Acosta, emphasizing the difficulties many face during the holiday season regarding food.
"We've heard of people not skipping their injections but pushing them back ... they might give themselves their injection on Friday instead, so they can have a little more room to enjoy the holiday foods." This illustrates the struggle some feel in balancing medication schedules with festive eating.
"In general, doctors don't recommend changing anything about your injection schedule. Skipping or shifting injections has a domino effect." This highlights the importance of adhering to established medication routines for consistency and effectiveness.
"Unlike most previous anti-obesity medications, drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound work in part on the brain to dampen hunger signals and reduce appetite so you don't feel like eating." This showcases the advancements in obesity treatment.
