Summary

Let’s be honest, everyone’s talking about GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound), but no one’s telling the whole story. Until now.This week, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Alexandra Sowa—board-certified physician, NYU clinical instructor, founder of SoWell, and author of The Ozempic Revolution—for the ultimate deep dive into everything you actually need to know about navigating life on (and off) GLP-1s. From weight loss plateaus and blood sugar crashes to the infamous “Ozempic face,” nothing is off-limits. We break down the stigma, the science, and why it’s not about getting thin—it’s about getting healthy. We also unpack the tests your doctor probably isn’t running (but should), the supplements that can make or break your progress, and why most people are doing GLP-1s totally wrong. Whether you’re curious, committed, or just confused, this episode is your go-to guide to understanding your metabolism, hormones, and long-term health—without shame and without shortcuts.
