9 Weeks on Ozempic - Ozempic for over 65s

Loading player...
This week we're catching up after Charlene's family vacation, and talking a bit about how USUALLY a vacation ends with a certain amount of guilt and trepidation as one steps on the scale to check the damage.
No longer the case for Charlene.

We also cover a special topic this week - Ozempic for folks over 65. I did some digging into the specifics of getting the most out of Ozempic, despite the challenge and necessity of maintaining what muscle mass you still have.

Lastly, here's a recipe from our Whatsapp community! Enjoy.
