Summary
Dr. Alexandra Sowa, author of The Ozempic Revolution, joins to dive into the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and their impact on health and culture. While Dr. Sowa shares why she believes in the benefits of these medications, she also raises concerns about the way our society is using them as a "quick fix." Her book offers a strategy for users to not only address obesity but also shift toward a lifestyle of prevention and long-term wellness. In this episode, Dr. Sowa challenges common misconceptions about obesity, explaining why it’s a disease, not a failure, and explores why it has become so prevalent in America.
