Weight Loss Decoded - GLP Edition

I'm Sharon Polsky, and I am excited to introduce the Fact Fairy Podcast, a 35-minute journey designed to dive into the often confusing world of GLP weight loss medications, including Ozempic/Wegovy (Semaglutide) and Mounjaro/Zepbound (Tirzepatide). In each episode, our panel of global experts will explore key topics such as Obesity, PCOS, Metabolic Health, Liposuction and Bariatric Surgery, Exercise & Nutrition, Monitoring Your Progress, and so much more. I understand that navigating your weight loss journey can be challenging, which is why I also want to bring you the voices of GLP users who will bravely share their personal experiences — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Their stories will provide you with valuable insights to help you avoid common pitfalls and empower you on your path to better health. My mission is to offer accurate, trustworthy information about GLP medications, helping you make informed and confident decisions about your health.

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
