Exposed: The Dark Side of GLP-1 and Influencers Cashing In - 1220

GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro are transforming lives, yet there is another side to the story that rarely appears on social media. In this episode, Chalene Johnson examines how influencer culture, black-market “research chemicals,” and questionable compounding pharmacies are profiting from the growing demand. She explores the risks of rapid weight loss that can quietly diminish muscle mass and the rise of MLM-style promotions aimed at midlife women. Listeners will gain insight into the realities behind the trend and learn ways to avoid potentially dangerous shortcuts.
