The Truth About Ozempic and GLP-1s with Dr. Alexandra Sowa | HFYH # 123

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Dr. Alexandra Sowa, a dual board-certified physician in internal and obesity medicine, founder of SoWell, and author of The Ozempic Revolution. With over a decade of clinical experience and features in The New York Times, CNN, and Women's Health, Dr. Sowa is a leading voice in metabolic health and the safe, personalized use of GLP-1 medications.

Together, they dive into the science behind GLP-1s — what they are, how they work in the brain, gut, and pancreas — and why these medications have transformed the obesity medicine landscape. Dr. Sowa breaks down the difference between natural vs. synthetic GLP-1, the role of protein, and why hormonal disregulation is not just about willpower. They also explore pediatric concerns, lifestyle contributors to the obesity epidemic, and the importance of foundational habits, lab work, and mental health support before starting medication.
