What if Botox isn’t as harmless as it seems? In this revealing episode of Vitality Made Simple, Dr. Debbie Ozment welcomes Gretch Elizabeth, researcher and advocate, for a deep dive into the overlooked risks of botulinum toxin A (Botox) injections. Drawing from personal experience and years of research, Gretch shares the story of her sister Heidi, whose life changed drastically after a small cosmetic treatment led to stroke-like symptoms and long-term health complications.
Together, they unpack the reality behind the “purified protein” campaign, the FDA’s black box warning, and how Botox can potentially trigger autoimmune flare-ups, neurotoxicity, and emotional dysregulation. Gretch also sheds light on the lack of practitioner training, misleading consent practices, and the cumulative nature of the neurotoxin’s effects.
The conversation explores broader concerns like societal pressure, emotional communication, and how facial paralysis may impact relationships, including how children read adult expressions. More than a cosmetic conversation, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about informed consent, wellness, and what we’re truly seeking when we chase youth through injectables.
You can find Gretch on Instagram via @nevertox or visit her website www.toxsafety.com.
