Ozempic: Miracle Fix or Too Good to Be True? with Dr. Alexandra Sowa

**Trigger Warning: Weight Loss and Disordered Eating

Whether you love them or hate them, weight loss drugs (GLP-1s) like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy are everywhere. Maybe your friend is using one, or that influencer you follow, or maybe you’re considering whether these meds might be right for you. Whatever sparked your curiosity, you're in the right place! This week, leading obesity medicine specialist Dr. Alexandra Sowa joins us in bed to answer all our burning questions.

I’m not on these medications, nor do I plan to be, but still, I had SO many questions! Like:

Who actually qualifies for these medications, and what does insurance cover?
How much do these meds really cost?
Are GLP-1s a "life sentence"? What happens if you stop?
Can these meds increase fertility?
Are they being overprescribed?
Can you overdose on GLP-1s?
What are the long-term risks?
Ozempic & the social rules: Secrecy vs. privacy
Best practices: What’s the best day to inject?
GLP-1s & addiction: Is there a link?
Managing side effects & the 5-12 month plateau
Emotional stumbling blocks: Why “skinny” isn’t always motivating
GLP-1s vs. body positivity: Was it all a lie?
What age is too young to start these medications?

With such a hotly debated topic, it’s important to note that this episode isn’t about taking a pro or anti GLP-1 stance. It's purely informational, so you can make up your own mind or bring your questions to your doctor.

Dr.Sowa's book "The Ozempic Revolution: A Doctor's Proven Plan for Success to Help You Reverse Obesity, End Yo-Yo Dieting, and Protect Yourself from Disease" is available now!
