As a current U.K. based Mounjaro user for PCOS concerns, I find these podcasts highly informative - guests highly knowledgeable and the approach from the podcasters clear. I have become increasingly more confident regarding side effects, studies, medical potential of glp1 medications and ‘seen’ by the podcasters with their approach regarding to discussions on ‘food noise’ since listening. Excellently done. 10/10 would recommend.

Extremely Informative
