#165 Weight Loss Jabs: What You Need to Know About Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro

Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are rapidly rising in popularity—not just among those managing type 2 diabetes, but also among people seeking significant weight loss. Once intended purely for blood sugar control, these weekly injections have now become a go-to solution for weight management, with some reports suggesting that 1 in 10 women in the UK are currently using them.

But are they the game-changer they're claimed to be? While these medications offer real hope to those struggling with obesity or diabetes, there’s still a lot to unpack. Are they truly safe? What are the potential downsides? And what should you be aware of if you're already using them—or considering it?

In this episode, I explore:
✔️ How GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro work
✔️ What to expect if you're on one of these jabs
✔️ Common side effects and potential health risks
✔️ The importance of nutrition, movement and mindset to minimise risks and get the best results
✔️ How to naturally stimulate your GLP-1 hormones through diet and lifestyle
