In this episode of The Tamsen Show, Tamsen speaks with Dr. Alexandra Sowa, a board-certified physician specializing in metabolic health, to unpack the truth about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic.

We explore how these drugs work, the emotional realities of weight loss, and why most people who start Ozempic may stay on it for life. Dr. Sowa also addresses the risks of misuse, the rise of compounding pharmacies, and why sustainable habits like strength training and food tracking are essential alongside medication.
