Listen "Beyond The Charts with Cira Monnig | Ep. 4 – Understanding GLP-1s: The New Era of Weight Loss"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Beyond the Charts, host Ken Lawler sits down with Lakeside Care Clinic founder and nurse practitioner, Cira Monnig, for an in-depth look at the explosive rise of GLP-1 medications—like semaglutide and tirzepatide—and why they’re transforming the future of weight loss.
Cira explains how GLP-1s evolved from diabetes medications into some of the most effective weight-loss tools available today. Patients aren’t just losing weight—they’re seeing improvements in inflammation, metabolic function, heart health, and even sleep apnea.
Together, Ken and Cira break down:
• How GLP-1s work inside the body
• Why insulin resistance plays a major role in weight struggles
• The “food noise” effect and how appetite control improves
• Differences between semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide
• Why weight-loss dosing must be personalized
• The importance of nutrition coaching to prevent muscle loss
• How Lakeside Care Clinic builds safe, affordable GLP-1 bundles with real patient support
Ken also shares his personal experience using GLP-1 therapy—how quickly he noticed progress, what surprised him, and how the medication made healthier choices easier.
If you’ve been curious about whether GLP-1s are right for you—or confused by the rapid growth of new weight-loss medications—this episode gives you a clear, practical breakdown from someone who has guided hundreds of patients through the process.
