Did Ozempic just become the newest performance enhancer in sports?
Dax and Elvis break down whether GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy actually give athletes an advantage — and whether they should be considered a legal “cheat code.”

They discuss Ozempic (semaglutide/GLP-1 agonists) as a potential performance enhancer: appetite suppression for quick fat loss, but risks like muscle wasting, under-fueling, GI issues, and poor recovery.

Elvis mentions a TikTok he did asking if it should be seen as a PED, with comments debating muscle loss vs. benefits (e.g., dropping 5lbs for faster times).

Dax shares his personal experience with ulcerative colitis causing rapid weight loss ("Daxempic"), using it as a disclaimer for his views, and criticizes using it unethically for efficiency over hard training.

They touch on dangers for athletes (e.g., high-volume training on an empty stomach) and why it's "sketchy" for race weight, though okay for medical use like diabetes.🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.
