🎧 GLP-1 Medications: The Truth No One’s Talking AboutIn this powerful episode of The Brain Powered Weight Loss Podcast, Eliza Kingsford dives into one of the most talked-about tools in weight loss today—GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy). But rather than focusing on side effects or surface-level benefits, she unpacks what most conversations are missing: the mental, emotional, and nervous system dynamics that these medications don't address.Enrollment is NOW OPEN!
