Do you ever find yourself taking random supplements that are being hyped up on Tiktok? Or maybe you've been really tempted to jump on the Ozempic train lately. Whatever health fad is claiming our attention right now, it's important to get grounded in the science behind the decisions we're making.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Ashley Griffith, clinical pharmacist and founder of KIHS  Wellness. Dr. Ashley's mission is to keep it healthy and simple by taking an integrative approach to serving her community's physical wellness.

Right now, it feels like everyone and their mother is talking about semaglutides. It feels like they're being talked about as if they're miracle drugs. And here's the thing - they might be miracle drugs for some people! But nuance is being left out of the conversation, and Dr. Ashley is giving it to us straight.

We're getting into specifics. Who are semaglutides for? What kind of dosage should someone who is trying to lose weight be on Vs. someone with diabetes? How long should a person be on semaglutides?

And then we're talking supplements. It might feel like whichever supplements you elect to take aren't a big deal. After all, you can just pick them up off the counter at CVS. No big deal! But supplements can actually have serious side effects and we should take the decisions we make about supplements just as seriously as any other drug.

Dr. Ashley is bringing a refreshing, science backed approach. She has such a valuable perspective and I'm so excited for you to tune into this episode!

In this episode, we're chatting about: 

• The good, the bad and the ugly of semaglutides 
• Shame around food as a person of color 
• Developing a health plan with your family's medical history in mind
• How to find the right supplements for you
