Weight Loss Decoded - GLP Edition

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.
