If medically assisted weight loss is part of your revenue stream, this episode is non-negotiable.

I sat down with attorney, spa owner, and compliance educator Courtney Walker to unpack the current chaos around GLP-1s—semaglutide, tirzepatide, and the like.

From cease and desist letters to compounding confusion to trademark traps, Courtney breaks down what’s really going on and how you can move forward with confidence. Whether you’re all-in on weight loss programs or just exploring, you need to know your legal and operational options.

What you’ll learn during this episode:

• What’s changing around compounded GLP-1s—and why it matters for spa owners

• The real difference between legal risk vs. operational compliance

• How cease and desist letters work—and what to do if you receive one

• What pharmaceutical companies are targeting next

• How to vet pharmacies, avoid marketing violations, and stay in your lane legally
