This is a live filming of a Medbridge podcast. In this dynamic session, you’ll have a front-row seat to listen in on the experts in conversation while also engaging with a vibrant community chat that gives you direct access to peers and leaders in a modern, accessible way.
Join host Phil Plisky, PT, DSc, ATC, CSCS, as he sits down with Dr. Julie Mulcahy, PT, DPT, Director of MSK at Omada Health, to navigate the rapidly evolving intersection of metabolic health and rehabilitation. Together, they explore how GLP-1 medications—now used by 1 in 8 U.S. adults—are redefining chronic disease management and altering muscle physiology. You will discover how to adapt your screening and exercise prescriptions to protect lean muscle mass, manage medication-induced fatigue or GI side effects, and ensure patients don't trade vital physical power for lost pounds. Tune in to learn how to lead the way in interprofessional collaboration and build sustainable, long-term functional habits that last far beyond the prescription.
