A new case series suggests they might, while highlighting a more personalized approach to metabolic health. GLP-1 medications have transformed obesity treatment, but they aren't the only tool available. In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with physician assistant Bill Jensen about a newly published case series exploring the combination of a ketogenic diet and low-dose semaglutide. Together, they discuss how this approach may help preserve lean mass, improve insulin resistance, reduce side effects, and empower patients to take an active role in their health. In this video: Why low-dose GLP-1s may complement a ketogenic diet The importance of preserving muscle during weight loss Which patients may benefit most from this approach Why this case series is hypothesis-generating, not definitive How lifestyle and medication can work together to improve metabolic health This conversation examines how a more personalized approach to care could improve long-term health outcomes. Rather than asking whether medication or lifestyle is \"better,\" it explores how combining the right tools for the right person may help improve body composition, support metabolic health, and empower patients to play an active role in their care. 💡 Not all ketogenic diets are the same.
