## Resource

How do GLP-1 medications affect first responders? In this episode of Fueling Fire, host Megan Lautz talks with registered dietitian Michelle Bugbee about the pros and cons of GLP-1s for firefighters. While these medications can support weight loss and metabolic health, GLP-1s can also bring challenges like nausea, constipation, low appetite, dehydration, and muscle loss. For firefighters, those side effects can be harder to manage during long shifts, intense training, and emergency calls. This episode covers critical factors for firefighters considering GLP-1s to keep in mind.
