Short spoken segment from Aaron Hartman, MD (YouTube video "The Hidden Dangers of GLP-1s | GLP-1s Exposed") offering clinical observations about GLP-1 medications. Hartman cautions that problems arise when patients 'start too quick, too fast,' lists the most common side effects he has seen (nausea, reflux, constipation, occasional anxiety and panic attacks), and states he has not observed parathyroid cancer in his clinical experience. He reports using GLP-1 drugs since about 2006–2007 and having treated thousands of patients.

Questions this video answers

Nausea, reflux, constipation; occasional anxiety and at least one case of severe panic attacks.

Approximately since 2006–2007.

No — he states he has not seen parathyroid cancer in his career.

Where people get into problems with the GLP1s is they start it too quick, too fast. They don't realize having side effects. The biggest side effects that I personally have seen have been nausea, reflux, constipation. I've seen some anxiety. I had one individual develop horrible panic attacks. I have not seen the parathyroid cancer in my career. I've been using this drug again since about 2006, 2007, had thousands of patients use it, so I got pretty good experience with it. I've not seen that. It's actually a pretty safe medication if you use it in the right situation.
