A short educational talk (YouTube) by Dr. Charles Mok discussing weight gain and loss in women, with emphasis on pharmacologic agents used currently (GLP-1 and GIP agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide), practical issues (cost, weekly injections), and a question about non-diet/non-exercise interventions. The speaker frames diet and exercise as primary but asks what other options exist.

I want to talk to you about weight gain, weight loss for women. And this is a big topic right now because we're using a lot of These drugs called GLP1 agonists and GIP agonists, semaglutide, tirzepatide. And, you know, we're using that kind of an episodic fashion to get the weight down. Medicines are kind of expensive. It's a shot you give yourself every week. What are the things can you do to lose weight that really doesn't include diet and exercise? I think diet and exercise goes saying that's the most important thing you can do. But what about other interventions?
