GLP-1 medications have become one of the biggest conversations in women’s health – but with all the headlines, social media debates and opinions, it can be hard to know what’s actually true.

In this episode of The Honest Talk, we’re joined by Dr. Sasha High, a physician specializing in weight loss and metabolic health, for a deeper look at what’s behind the GLP-1 conversation.

We talk about why weight loss is about more than willpower, how these medications work, who they may help, the potential risks and side effects, and why strength, nutrition and overall health matter along the way.

We also explore the myths that continue to surround pregnancy loss, why so many women still blame themselves, and how we can start changing the conversation so no one has to grieve in silence.
