The episode explores the effects of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic on skin health and provides insights on natural alternatives.

If you've been quietly wondering whether a GLP-1 like Ozempic is the answer, and what it might do to your skin, this is the honest, no-judgment breakdown nobody's giving you.
