When I first heard about drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy I thought they were just used by celebrities on social media to drop weight before the Oscar’s. These drugs have actually been around for years and they were originally FDA approved to help people with diabetes because they are so effective in controlling blood sugar levels, helping with weight loss and controlling feelings of fullness so people stop overeating.

Over the past few years off label use by people just wanting to drop a few pounds and social media influencers pushing it as a wonder drug have been raising some red flags. Today my guest Dr. Alexandra Sowa is going to break down the truth about Ozempic.

Dr. Alexandra Sowa is a leading obesity medicine specialist and the author of The Ozempic Revolution, A Doctor’s Proven Plan for Success to Help You Reverse Obesity, End YoYo Dieting, and Protect Yourself from Disease. The book will hit the shelves in January 2025 but is available for pre order now.
