As women, we feel an immense amount of pressure to stay forever young. If you are anything like me and considered injectables, like Botox, this episode is for you. My hope is that this conversation exposes you to information that shows you a different side of a very popular anti-aging treatment so you can make your own decisions based, in fact, not on pressure. I think so often we’re told Botox is safe, but my guest Gretch Elizabeth exposes the dark side of it with a very personal story. 

Gretch is a former high school human sciences teacher, beauty educator, and has obsessively studied botulinum toxin for over 7 years. Gretch’s devotion to studying botulinum toxin is stemmed from an experience seven years ago when her sister acquired botulism from cosmetic Botox. Gretch now works full-time as a patient advocate for people who have experienced Botox injuries.

Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
