This question comes from one of the GLP-1 Newsroom readers. She wants to start back up on Ozempic after she gives birth, but can she take Ozempic while breastfeeding?

You’ve probably heard the term metabolic syndrome tossed around lately—on wellness podcasts, in doctors’ offices, even on TikTok. It sounds serious (it is), but also vague (it kind of is).

You can't turn a corner or scroll a social media site without seeing an ad or a post about someone taking GLP-1 meds like Ozempic or Wegovy.

What I found was both wild and well-documented: the gut—yes, your gut—may be deeply involved in how osteoarthritis develops and how it could be treated. A hormone called GLP-1, best known for regulating digestion and appetite, might also protect cartilage and reduce joint inflammation. Researchers call it the gut-joint axis, and it’s changing the way we think about osteoarthritis.

The window for GLP-1 compounders to tap dance around the compounding ban is almost closed — and anyone still trying to squeeze through could end up with some bruised fingers. A federal court ruling has backed the FDA’s determination that shortages of Wegovy and Ozempic are officially over, setting up a sharp end to the era of legally available compounded GLP-1s.
