<p><strong>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.</strong></p> <p><strong>Watch this episode on YouTube this Sunday!!</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@chalenejohnson/videos"><strong> </strong><span><strong>https://www.youtube.com/@chalenejohnson/videos</strong></span></a></p> <p> </p> <p>💪🏼 <strong>Book Your Age Well Appointment with MIDI</strong> 👉<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2pCZEw1LUxDQmNqZ1pKWXZqdWl3MGkxUlVmd3xBQ3Jtc0tsQkdoT2hzV2NqS1doaXhhNElWUHhmWTVQMnZndklnR3JIajRPYWhFaFBIdE44d3hYalRtVnlObzZhVU95ZVNLYVB6MGFtLThXWl9ISjlzSWVHVE1WdEhHdDRicnI2YjE5WS11MTFEODRlcmdMcDlNcw&q=http://chalene.com/MIDI&v=6FTZF_dnL0s"><strong>http://chalene.com/MIDI</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p>💥 <strong>Get your daily dose of brain-boosting nutrients in just one scoop with Bright Minds!<br></strong> 👉<a href="https://chalene.com/memory"><span><strong>https://chalene.com/memory</strong></span></a></p> <p> </p> <p>🤓 <strong>What You’ll Learn</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>How influencers are turning GLP-1 hype into big paydays—and why their “advice” can be risky</strong></li> <li><strong>The hidden dangers of black-market and unregulated compounding pharmacies</strong></li> <li><strong>Why rapid weight loss can silently strip muscle (even if you’re lifting and eating protein)</strong></li> <li><strong>The smart, safe steps to take before starting any GLP-1 medication</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>🎯<strong>Join Chalene on Patreon for 7 Days FREE </strong> 👉 <a href="http://chalene.com/more"><strong>http://chalene.com/more</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Camp Be More 2026!!
