GLP-1 Studio Podcast
Hi, I’m Amanda Bonello 😊 I started this podcast to give the GLP-1 community a voice. To share the life changing experiences these medications can bring and to shine a light on the human impact of access issues. Since then, I’ve founded both a nonprofit and a for-profit to put advocacy into action for GLP-1 access, and to do everything I can to support and empower the patients who need it most. I can hardly believe we’ve made it to Season 2, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your support. 🩷 glp1studio.substack.com
