The wire

01An integrative review in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine uses semaglutide as a case example to discuss weight regain, lean-mass loss and the need for prolonged therapy.
02Clinicians fielding questions about long-term GLP-1 maintenance may encounter this complementary framing from patients and integrative practitioners.
03It is a narrative review with no new data, and the authors state Ayurvedic concepts are interpretive rather than mechanistic.
