https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-a4heh-1900908

In this episode of the Women’s Football Hub Podcast, host Carolyn Kent is joined by Dr Jessica Beal Stahl and sports pharmacist Emily Shears for a critical conversation about GLP-1 receptor agonists – better known as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.

We unpack:

  • How these drugs work in the body

  • Why they were developed for diabetes and are now used more broadly (including PCOS, weight loss)

  • Risks and side effects (appetite suppression, GI distress, nutrient depletion, ‘Ozempic teeth’, hormonal impacts)

  • Black market concerns and safety issues

  • Implications for female athletes (RED-S, sarcopenia, performance monitoring)

  • Ethical and regulatory questions around sport

This episode is essential for athletes, coaches, clinicians and anyone supporting female players.
