In this week's episode, join me on a journey beyond the surface-level back and forth surrounding Ozempic. Let's navigate the nuanced discussions about semaglutides - medication that we have discussed before, and one that is traditionally used for diabetes but now available for broader weight management purposes. In this chat, I will be giving my raw and personal perspective, drawing from heartfelt conversations with friends and clients.

This chat is especially for those who've lived with significant body fat for years and may be contemplating semaglutide as a viable option.

We also face the stark realities and health risks of maintaining a high body fat percentage, weighing them against the potential of using Ozempic.

It's not just about the science, but the social and psychological aspects play a big role in this decision. We discuss how societal dynamics and even the closest relationships can influence your health decisions. Listen as I unpack the complexities behind choosing Ozempic, aiming to empower you with the information needed to make informed, personal decisions about your health journey.

If you're above 45% body fat or dealing with PCOS and insulin resistance, this episode speaks directly to you. Discover the multifaceted roles of Ozempic, from managing health risks to sparking a newfound motivation for wellness. Remember, your health choices are yours alone, and I'm here to support you every step of the way on your path to wellness.
