GLP-1 supplements for weight loss in insulin resistance

Can we consider GLP 1 supplement to lose weight for insulin resistance to avoid any such obesity risks

GLP 1 are good to reduce weight for obesity although they are typically used for a BMI above 29. I have done a full podcast on GLP1 recently with an influencer in London along with a holistic nutritionist and Plastic surgeon , which I can post here. They should be used with caution and unfortunately, when you stop the GLP 1 if you have not changed the lifestyle completely the weight will come back. Also 20-30% of wt loss is Muscle because it is lost rapidly.
