From venom to viral, GLP-1 drugs are having a major main character moment.
In this episode of The Radiance Source, Dr. Orie traces the jaw-dropping origin of GLP-1 medications (spoiler: it starts with a lizard bite), and unpacks how these diabetes drugs turned into wellness status symbols overnight. With everyone from Amazon Pharmacy to A-listers in on the hype, it’s time to separate the real science from the glamorized glow-up.
What’s inside:
-
The wild origin story of GLP-1 drugs
-
Why weight loss meds like Ozempic and Wegovy exploded into mainstream beauty culture
-
What the clinical science actually says about how they work
-
How to know if GLP-1 is right for you (hint: thyroid screening is non-negotiable)
-
The risks, rebound weight, and red flags that don’t get mentioned in your FYP
Whether you’re GLP-1 curious, confused, or just tired of seeing Ozempic everywhere, this episode is your science-backed, hype-free guide to what’s really going on—and how to think about your health in this next-gen beauty and wellness era.
