GLP-1s now being available in a pill could change weight loss forever. But is this a good thing?

In this episode of Healthy Not Complicated, I break down what Ozempic and Wegovey becoming available as a daily pill actually changes, and just as importantly, what it doesn’t.

Using three recent headlines as examples, including the Wegovy pill, the rise of fibermaxxing, and the growing trend of wellness stacking, we talk about why health headlines often feel like the answer to all your problems, and why that promise rarely plays out the way we hope.

This episode also includes The Sip with Sodii, where I answer a listener question from the last episode.

If your question is selected, you’ll receive a free box of Sodii everyday hydration salts.
