In this episode of the GLP-1 Hub podcast, I interview GLP-1 user Bryana Niemczynski. Starting a GLP-1 changed everything for her. She's lost over 40 pounds so far, but more than that, she stopped drinking five nights a week, stopped thinking about food constantly, and finally started caring about myself again. That shift gave her the space to pursue my dream of working for herself. She taught herself how to do UGC, quit her 9–5  serving job, and now she creates content for brands full-time. It’s been life-changing.
