Dr. Alexandra Sowa, a dual board-certified physician in internal and obesity medicine and founder of SoWell Health, has dedicated over a decade to transforming her patients' metabolic health, now sharing her expertise with everyone through SoWell’s innovative GLP-1 Support System. This comprehensive, 3-part supplement system is the first of its kind, developed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by GLP-1 users on their weight loss journeys. Combining the latest clinical research with years of direct patient experience, Dr. Sowa’s approach targets the side effects of GLP-1 medications to support a smoother, more comfortable path to wellness. From her proven GLP-1 protocol to at-home lab testing and targeted supplements, she has created a toolkit that empowers people to achieve optimal health—whether they’re striving for weight loss, renewed energy, balanced hormones, or simply a better quality of life. Dr. Sowa’s mission is rooted in the belief that metabolic health is essential for everyone, from those embarking on a new diet to couples hoping to start a family. Welcome to metabolic health. Welcome to a new era of wellness.

In this episode, Dr. Sowa also discusses:
