Dr. Alexandra Sowa, a trailblazer in obesity medicine, joins Zibby to discuss her groundbreaking new book, THE OZEMPIC REVOLUTION, and the life-changing impact of GLP-1 medications on weight loss, metabolic health, and overall well-being. They dive into the history of these drugs, their growing list of medical applications, and the challenges of affordability and accessibility. Zibby shares her personal experience with the medication, and they explore the psychological shifts that come with appetite suppression, including how to redefine pleasure beyond food. Dr. Sowa also highlights the need to address systemic weight bias and rethink obesity as a biological—not willpower-based—condition.
