145. Which is Better - Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro? (Canadian Physician Perspective)
Dr. Sasha High, Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician, breaks down a common patient question: which GLP-1 medication is best for weight management? On today’s episode, we review data for Ozempic (Semaglutide), Wegovy (Semaglutide 2.4mg) and Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) for obesity treatment. We discuss: Weight loss efficacy Blood sugar control for Type 2 diabetes Cardiovascular outcomes Other conditions such as chronic kidney disease and sleep apnea Most relevant to the Canadian consumer is the discussion around insurance coverage and practical considerations like monthly cost. Reminder that you still need to speak with your own healthcare provider about what treatment is most appropriate for you and this is for educational purposes only. If you’re in Ontario and need support from a multidisciplinary team for chronic weight management, The High Metabolic Clinic is my program that offers holistic virtual care from obesity specialists, registered dietitians and psychotherapists across Ontario through telemedicine.
