In this episode, I welcome Dr. Alexandra Sowa, a pioneer in obesity medicine and author of The Ozempic Revolution. Her inspiring journey is driven by her family's experience and her mission to provide compassionate, science-backed care. Together, we explore the complexities of weight management, the realities of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Monjauro, and Zepbound, and the importance of a holistic approach to health. We get into the emotional toll of body image, societal pressure, and the ongoing battle many face with their weight. Dr. Alexandra brings clarity and compassion to the subject, addressing the stigma surrounding weight management and the misunderstandings about medication safety. From the challenges of yo-yo dieting to navigating the financial burden of treatment, we tackle it all. But our conversation goes even deeper. We discuss the future of these medications, including emerging oral options and the exciting potential for slowing the progression of diseases like Alzheimer's. We also take a closer look at compounded medications, providing insights into the pros and cons of this approach. While not a one-size-fits-all solution, these treatments represent hope and a significant advancement in longevity medicine. If you've ever struggled with your own health journey, faced judgment, or questioned your treatment options, this episode is for you. Let's break free from the cycle of shame and embrace the power of knowledge and self-care. Tune in for an honest dialogue about healing, acceptance, and the courage to take control of your well-being.
