Recap: Berberine vs. Ozempic, Alcohol's ...

Brittany Ford
About this episode

In this standout episode, I revisit this year's most listened-to podcast episode on Spotify.

I delve into the fascinating juxtaposition of Berberine and Ozempic, and their health management impacts on your health. I tackle the pressing issue of unrealistic body standards and a recent woman's horrific experience with Ozempic. 

Additionally, I highlight Berberine's benefits for blood sugar control and explore the Healing Web, an invaluable guide linking holistic medicine and biohacking, and discuss functional foods and how they benefit women's health.

 

We talk about:

  • 05:00 - Effects and risks of Ozempic vs. Berberine
  • 0:12:00 - Berberine's potential in managing blood sugar levels
  • 34:00 - Berberine for fertility
  • 42:00 - Alcohol and your health
  • 56:25 - The Healing Web poster
  • 01:00:20 - Functional foods: enhancing women's health with nature's nutrients
  • 01:02:20 - Isoflavones: reducing cancer risk and menopausal symptoms
  • 01:04:00 - Exploring the idea of functional chocolate for women
