Show Notes
Today Erin is talking about Ozempic and Wegovy, popular medications used for Type 2 Diabetes and weight loss.
Today is *not* a show to convince you to do anything or not do anything. Instead, Erin recorded this for people interested in these drugs to better help you understand the potential risks, and for practitioners to better help their clients/patients understand these medications.
Erin also provides ways to naturally increase the GLP-1 hormone in the event that you don’t want to spend thousands of dollars injecting yourself every week with a pharmaceutical.
We hope this helps you better understand these super popular drugs, and if so - please share it with friends & family who are talking about it.
