Not Just Weight Loss—Wegovy’s Unexpected Benefit for Your Joints

Can Wegovy help your knees and your waistline? In this video, I explain how semaglutide (Wegovy) affects knee osteoarthritis (OA) – what the science says, what the STEP 9 trial found, and whether the pain relief comes from more than just weight loss.

I break down how OA works, why weight puts extra strain on your joints, and how even modest weight loss can ease knee pain. We also look at why Wegovy may outperform older meds like Saxenda, and what this means for long-term joint health.

Plus, I share practical strategies like exercise, physical therapy, and realistic expectations for managing knee pain over time.

Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!
