Ozempic is everywhere right now… but what’s actually happening behind the results?

In this episode of Giggles & Glutes, we’re having an honest, informed conversation about Ozempic, weight loss drugs, and what’s not being talked about enough.

We cover:

• Why weight often comes back after stopping
• How appetite hormones like ghrelin & leptin are affected
• The role of insulin and blood sugar
• Why habits matter more than quick fixes
• The physical and hormonal side effects
• And what sustainable progress actually looks like

This episode is not about fear — it’s about awareness.

So you can make decisions from a place of understanding, not pressure.
