Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest insights on Ozempic—from medical updates to its real-world impact on health and lifestyle.Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, was originally designed to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it has quickly become a leading medication for weight loss. Clinical studies highlighted by Medical News Today and Drugs.com have shown that people using Ozempic can lose between 10 and 17 percent of their body weight over about 68 weeks, with results varying based on dosage and individual response. Some individuals have reported losing as much as 30 pounds in just six months, while also seeing significant improvements in blood sugar levels, such as A1C reductions from 8.5 to 6.2, according to user reviews.But what sets Ozempic apart from other medications like metformin? While both can have modest effects on body weight, Ozempic generally leads to more substantial results. According to Drugs.com, participants in trials with Ozempic and lifestyle changes lost an average of nearly 15 to 17 percent of their weight, far exceeding the modest results commonly seen with metformin.The mechanism is fascinating—Ozempic works by imitating a hormone called GLP-1, reducing appetite and slowing digestion. Yet with such rapid and notable weight loss comes important questions about long-term health. A new study from the University of Virginia, as reported by Science Daily, warns that while GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic deliver dramatic fat loss, they do not appear to improve crucial measures of cardiorespiratory fitness. Moreover, muscle loss is a real concern. Researchers have documented reductions in lean mass when using Ozempic for substantial weight loss, which could impact strength, posture, and even risk of heart problems. To counter this, doctors increasingly recommend combining Ozempic with exercise and a protein-rich diet to help maintain muscle and overall health.With these dramatic results, it's not surprising that Ozempic and similar GLP-1 drugs are making waves far outside strictly medical circles. Weight loss clinics nationwide are rethinking their programs to include these medications, as South County Medspa and Wellness notes, allowing many patients to expect a 10 to 15 percent reduction in body weight over several months. However, these treatments do not come cheap—monthly costs can reach several hundred dollars, leading to high rates of discontinuation as users stop due to expense or side effects, which can include nausea and digestive issues.And what happens if you stop Ozempic? As Professor Patricia Brubaker explains for McGill University, stopping the medication often results in some weight regain—a typical rebound of about 12 percent of what was lost—but most people still hold on to some of their original weight loss a year later. It's not quite the dreaded "yo-yo" effect, but it does highlight the importance of ongoing therapy or lifestyle modification for lasting results.In the realm of new developments, tirzepatide, branded as Zepbound, stands out as the only FDA-approved medication demonstrating even greater weight loss, with some participants losing up to 22 percent of their body weight. Meanwhile, the rise of so-called GLP-1 supplements online is causing concern among Harvard experts. According to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, these over-the-counter products are not regulated or proven effective, so listeners should approach them with skepticism.As the science evolves and new studies emerge almost weekly, there is a growing recognition among experts: medications like Ozempic can be powerful tools for weight loss, but to truly unlock healthier living, they should be paired with exercise, nutrition, and long-term, individualized care.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the show that brings you the most current news and insights on Ozempic, semaglutide, and the world of medical weight loss. Today we are diving into the latest clinical findings, real-life impacts, and debates about the future of this groundbreaking medication.Ozempic, which contains the active ingredient semaglutide, has been a game changer in managing type 2 diabetes, but what is making headlines is its powerful effect on weight loss. Large clinical trials, highlighted by the STEP studies and summarized by Heally and Dr Oracle, show patients on semaglutide 2 point 4 milligrams weekly have lost an average of almost 15 percent of their body weight after about 16 months. That is a remarkable number compared to older options. However, the rise of even newer drugs, such as tirzepatide, is moving the average even higher, up to 22 percent according to recent trials, yet Ozempic remains a trusted and widely prescribed option due to its solid balance of safety and effectiveness.Despite these successes, important new research and medical commentary from University of Virginia and Medical News Today reveal a nuanced picture. Weight loss from Ozempic is not just burning fat—it can also reduce muscle and even affect bone density. People have reported feeling like their strength has faded while using the drug. This loss of lean mass is now under the microscope, with recent studies confirming that a significant fraction of the weight lost may be muscle, not just fat. Maintaining muscle is essential for long-term health, heart function, and quality of life, especially as we age. Scientists and doctors now emphasize the importance of adding resistance exercise and prioritizing adequate protein intake if you or someone you know is using Ozempic for weight loss.Another topic in the headlines is what happens when people stop Ozempic. According to researchers at McGill University, stopping the drug often results in regaining some weight—roughly half of what was lost after a year off treatment. This makes weight maintenance an ongoing process, often requiring sustained lifestyle changes or ongoing medication.Not all Ozempic is created equal, and the Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to avoid unapproved or counterfeit versions sold online. FDA officials report that unapproved versions may not only be less effective, they can be dangerous, with some found to contain incorrect ingredients or inappropriate dosing. Always get your prescription from a licensed pharmacy, and never buy these drugs labeled as research chemicals or not for human use.Amid booming interest, another trend is the rise of GLP-1 mimicking supplements that claim to offer similar weight loss. According to Harvard experts, these supplements are neither as effective nor as rigorously tested as true semaglutide medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy. For real results and safety, stick with prescribed medications under medical supervision.Before we go, here is a quick roundup. Ozempic and its class of GLP-1 drugs are transforming weight loss medicine, but they come with caveats: possible muscle loss, the potential for weight regain, and uncertainties about long-term impacts beyond the scale, like heart and lung function. Pairing Ozempic with healthy eating, resistance training, and medical guidance gives the best shot at long-lasting health.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome, listeners, to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked – your trusted source for the latest news and updates on Ozempic and its impact on health, lifestyle, and medicine.Ozempic, originally developed by Novo Nordisk to help manage type two diabetes, has skyrocketed in popularity for its ability to suppress appetite, slow digestion, and help people achieve significant weight loss. Since its approval in 2017, Ozempic's active ingredient, semaglutide, has not only helped people lower their blood sugar, but has also turned into a twenty-one billion dollar blockbuster thanks to growing demand, celebrity mentions, and viral trends on social media.According to recent coverage on NDTV and Science Alert, millions have experienced meaningful weight loss while on Ozempic and similar appetite-suppressing medications. Reports mention that some users have lost up to twenty pounds or more within just a few months. However, new research from Peking University highlights an important concern: weight loss achieved with Ozempic is often not permanent. Studies analyzed over two thousand participants and found that when patients stopped taking these medications, they typically regained the lost weight—on average, about five and a half pounds within five months of discontinuation. Notably, those who lost the most during treatment tended to gain back more afterward. The underlying reasons for this pattern are not totally clear yet, but the body may undergo changes during weight loss that make it harder to maintain results once the medication is stopped.Aside from weight regain, another consideration is muscle loss. UVA Health researchers have found that while GLP-1 medications like Ozempic can help patients shed fat, about half the weight lost can actually be muscle. Dr. Zhenqi Liu has pointed out that losing muscle, especially those essential for posture and movement, can lower overall fitness and well-being. Because of this, experts recommend maintaining regular exercise routines and ensuring enough protein intake while on these medications to help preserve muscle mass.For those concerned about side effects, reports from The Independent note that although most users tolerate Ozempic well, nausea and digestive issues are common and have, in some cases, led to emergency room visits. But, there is promising news on the horizon: scientists have developed an experimental drug, known for now as TDP, that delivered weight loss in animal studies without causing nausea or vomiting. Human trials are expected to begin within two years.Shifting to broader health impacts, three newly presented studies at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery suggest medications like Ozempic may even have brain-protective benefits. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that patients taking Ozempic had a considerably lower risk of stroke-related death compared to those not taking the drug, and seemed to recover better post-stroke.Ozempic is also reshaping eating habits on a national scale. Food Dive recently reported that more than six million U.S. adults – about two percent of the population – are taking GLP-1 medications. Studies from the University of Arkansas show that, on average, users of Ozempic consume seven hundred fewer calories a day and tend to cut back on processed foods, sugary drinks, refined grains, and red meat. Grocery spending overall fell by six percent in households with someone on one of these medications. At the same time, consumption of fruits, leafy greens, and water has increased.However, it is crucial to consider possible psychological effects. Business Insider highlights concerns about new or worsened eating disorders among some users, particularly in those with previous histories of restrictive eating. Experts strongly advise against taking these medications without a genuine medical need.The rise of Ozempic and similar medications represents a major shift in how we approach weight loss and chronic disease—but it is not without its caveats. If you or someone you know is considering or already using Ozempic, make sure to consult with a healthcare professional for comprehensive guidance, emphasizing not just the numbers on the scale, but also total health and long-term wellness.That wraps up this episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we break down the latest in news and updates on Ozempic and its sweeping impact on health, lifestyle, and medicine.Let us start with what continues to drive the headlines. Ozempic, known generically as semaglutide, was initially designed to help manage blood sugar in type two diabetes. But it's now become widely used for weight loss, including for people without diabetes, as doctors weigh its benefits against risks. GoodRx explains that Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals the brain to lessen your appetite and makes you feel full sooner, so you take in fewer calories and, over time, drop pounds. Dosage is gradually increased for safety, but significant weight loss is possible. Clinical trial data shows that people taking one milligram weekly for forty weeks lost an average of thirteen pounds, while those on two milligrams lost even more. However, while a starting dose of point two five milligrams may not cause much weight loss, higher doses and longer use can result in larger changes.Studies highlighted by Yale University indicate that some individuals can lose up to fifteen percent of their body weight with semaglutide and related injections, which outperforms some earlier treatments. However, experts repeatedly caution listeners to remember that medical supervision is critical since not everyone is a suitable candidate for this medication.On another front, Ozempic's impact stretches beyond the scale. Healthline reports on a new study presented at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting, revealing that men with obesity or type two diabetes who take GLP-1 drugs experienced improved testosterone levels. According to the study, not only did participants lose about ten percent of their body weight, their total testosterone levels increased by eighteen percent, moving many from a low to a healthier hormonal status. This supports the growing body of evidence that managing weight with GLP-1 medications can have significant secondary health benefits.Yet, there are important new cautions. In February, the Food and Drug Administration revised Ozempic's official label to include heightened warnings about severe pancreatitis and kidney injuries. The update follows hundreds of lawsuits and reports of adverse effects such as gastroparesis, ileus, and even intestinal blockages. While many users only experience common gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain as reported by GoodRx, rare but serious risks exist. There is also increasing concern among clinicians, as noted in a JAMA commentary, about rapid muscle loss—sarcopenia—especially for older adults, since this can increase the risk of fractures and frailty.Regarding drug safety, compounded semaglutide products—those mixed at pharmacies rather than made by the original manufacturer—are under FDA scrutiny. The FDA cautions that compounded versions, which are increasingly popular and widely used, are not vetted for safety or quality, and adverse event reports have surged. Listeners should be extremely cautious and discuss any compounded medication with their healthcare team.For those wondering about the lasting power of weight loss on Ozempic, The Independent recently covered a new review of clinical trials which reveals a pattern many are now confronting. Patients often experience weight regain within weeks of stopping Ozempic or similar drugs. The review found that this rebound can last for around five months before weight stabilizes. The degree of regain depends on continued lifestyle changes and medication choice, highlighting the need for long-term planning and support.From the perspective of surgical weight loss, University of California San Francisco bariatric surgeon Jonathan Carter told UCSF News that Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs have shifted the landscape. For people with significant weight to lose, especially when other diseases are present, these drugs can be valuable, though they are not a panacea. Surgery remains the best option for some, but the arrival of more powerful and patient-friendly GLP-1 medications is expected to alter obesity care further.There is one more emerging angle: evidence is growing that Ozempic may reduce stroke risk and certain brain injury-related complications according to MedicalXpress, pointing to benefits well beyond slimming down. This has made the drug not just a household name, but a major talking point among doctors and public health leaders.That wraps up this edition of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Thank you for tuning in.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we illuminate the latest about Ozempic's role in weight loss, health, and lifestyle transformation.Ozempic is in the spotlight as more people turn to it for help with weight loss, whether or not they have diabetes. GoodRx reports that Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone in your body that helps regulate blood sugar and suppress appetite, leading to fewer calories consumed. It also slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach and reduces sugar production in the liver. These combined effects can result in gradual, sustained weight loss.Clinical trials published by GoodRx show that people on a 1 milligram weekly dose of Ozempic lost an average of 13 pounds over about nine months. Even at the lower, 0.5 milligram dose, people with Type 2 diabetes lost about 8 pounds over seven months. While some use Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes, doctors may prescribe it off-label for weight loss in people with prediabetes to lower their risk of developing diabetes.However, Ozempic is not for everyone. Wegovy, which contains the same active ingredient as Ozempic, is actually approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight loss in adults and children over 12 who are obese or overweight with at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure.One of the biggest questions is why some people have better weight loss results than others using Ozempic. Medical News Today highlights new research showing that several factors influence outcomes. Longer time on the medication, higher starting body fat, and even blood sugar levels all appear to play a role in weight loss success, especially for men. For women, lower skeletal muscle mass was linked to greater weight loss. Results can be variable, and doctors caution that more long-term studies are needed to determine how best to maintain the benefits after stopping the medication.Not all effects of Ozempic are positive, and side effects are an important consideration. According to GoodRx, many people experience nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain, especially when first starting Ozempic or increasing their dose. Typically, these symptoms get better over time, but careful oversight and gradual dose increases help minimize discomfort.Another critical issue is how Ozempic affects body composition. Healthline reports on a new study showing that weight lost with Ozempic is not just fat—muscle mass can decrease as well. This is especially a concern for older adults and women. To help prevent muscle loss, researchers recommend upping your protein intake and engaging in regular strength training while on the medication. Registered dietitians suggest aiming for at least one point two to one point five grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day, but always consult your healthcare team before making big diet changes.Another recent headline comes from Medical Xpress, which reports early indications that Ozempic could have benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing the risk of stroke and complications related to certain brain injuries. These findings are still developing, but add to the growing discussion about the wide-ranging impacts of these new medications.While many achieve meaningful and sometimes life-changing results on Ozempic, experts stress the importance of close medical supervision. There is concern about people receiving these medications from providers outside of their usual healthcare teams, which can result in less comprehensive follow-up and care.To all our listeners: if you are considering Ozempic for weight loss, talk openly with your healthcare provider. Personal factors like muscle mass, body composition, existing conditions, and your ability to stick with healthy eating and exercise habits all influence your results and reduce risks.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we unpack the latest news and insights around Ozempic and its real-world impact on weight loss, health, and lifestyle.Ozempic, with the active ingredient semaglutide, began as a treatment for type two diabetes but quickly made headlines for its weight loss potential. According to Yale University, Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar and curbs hunger by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1. This not only suppresses appetite but also slows stomach emptying, leaving people feeling fuller with less food.Clinical trials consistently show that people using Ozempic can lose between ten and fifteen percent of their body weight over one year when paired with diet and exercise. For someone starting at two hundred pounds, that means a loss of twenty to thirty pounds, and these results are generally more robust than most previous weight-loss medications, as reported in major journals and echoed by Northwestern University.The STEP clinical trials, highlighted in the New England Journal of Medicine and discussed by many medical experts, found that semaglutide users saw almost a fifteen percent reduction in their initial body weight over sixty-eight weeks. Even waist circumference, blood pressure, and other markers of cardiometabolic health improved significantly, underscoring the broader benefits of the medication.But, as with most medications, there are realities to consider. Safety data from Northwestern underscores that while Ozempic is not yet officially approved for weight loss, many use it off-label, experiencing both benefits and side effects. The most common issues include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which tend to improve as the body adjusts. More rare but serious risks are pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and possible thyroid tumors, particularly for those with a family history of certain cancers. That is why healthcare professionals stress having detailed conversations about personal risks before starting Ozempic.A surge in Ozempic's popularity has also led to what some are calling “Ozempic face” or “Ozempic body”—these terms describe changes in appearance from rapid fat loss, especially in the face, which some people find undesirable. The plastic surgery community reports a rise in patients seeking rejuvenation treatments after significant weight loss with GLP-1 medications. However, when Ozempic is discontinued, weight regain is common—studies show up to two-thirds of lost weight often returns within a year of stopping the medication.Another evolving topic is real-world versus clinical trial results. Pharmacy Times featured a study showing that outside the controlled environment of clinical trials, the average weight loss is closer to nine percent after a year, mainly because more than half of patients discontinue Ozempic due to cost, insurance challenges, side effects, or medication shortages. Lower adherence and reduced dosages are major reasons why results may differ outside research settings.According to recent research in Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism, some factors lead to better weight loss outcomes with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. These include a longer duration on the drug, using semaglutide specifically, not having diabetes, and having a higher baseline body fat percentage. On the flip side, those who start and stop the drug quickly or use lower doses tend to see less weight loss.There is also a lot of buzz about so-called natural alternatives to Ozempic, but reviews in the American Council on Science and Health caution that supplements promoted as “natural Ozempic” produce minimal weight loss, and almost always rely on combining with diet and increased physical activity. The science just does not stack up to prescription medications like semaglutide.With over thirty million Americans having used GLP-1 medications, Ozempic is not just a trend—it is reshaping how many approach weight loss, diabetes, and metabolic health. However, it is not a cure-all, and long-term commitment appears necessary for lasting results.Thanks for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest developments, insights, and real stories about Ozempic and the world of weight loss medications. Let's dive right in.The conversation around Ozempic remains as lively as ever in 2025. While Ozempic, or semaglutide, was originally created to manage type two diabetes, it quickly garnered attention for its remarkable ability to support significant weight loss. According to Toronto Life, this drug, which started as a diabetes treatment, has proven in multiple clinical trials to help some people lose up to twenty percent of their body weight when taken at higher doses, a result that validates obesity as a medical condition instead of just a lifestyle issue.A 2024 study highlighted by Drugs.com compared Ozempic to Mounjaro, another medication in the same class. Both were found effective, but Mounjaro showed even greater weight loss results, with eighty-two percent of patients losing at least five percent of their body weight, compared to sixty-seven percent for Ozempic. Importantly, these medications work by mimicking gut hormones to curb appetite and help with blood sugar control, but Mounjaro targets an additional hormone, which might explain the stronger effect.Clinical trials published in The Lancet have found participants using Ozempic experience an average drop of twelve to fourteen percent in body weight. And as reported by USF Blogs, real user stories show individuals can lose upwards of fifty pounds in a year, especially when combined with lifestyle changes. That brings us to a key point: Ozempic is most powerful when used alongside healthier eating and more physical activity. Fay Nutrition emphasizes that initial results might feel modest, with three to four percent weight loss in the first month for most people, but those who change their habits see the biggest long-term benefits.The rise of semaglutide-based treatments is fundamentally changing how health systems like the NHS treat obesity. In the United Kingdom, both Ozempic and its higher-dose sibling Wegovy are now routinely prescribed not just for diabetes but also for weight management. Over three million prescriptions are now issued annually in the NHS, making these drugs a staple of weight-related health care.But while the benefits are clear, there is growing attention on side effects and the need for responsible use. King Law reports that over eighteen hundred lawsuits have been filed in the United States, with issues ranging from slowed digestion to pancreatitis and even severe kidney injuries. The Food and Drug Administration has updated Ozempic's safety labeling to reflect these risks. Experts stress it is critical to use these drugs under proper medical supervision, especially with reports of non-doctors prescribing them illegally.On the medical front, research published in NEJM Evidence and covered by Live Science now suggests that semaglutide may benefit people with type one diabetes as well, broadening its potential impact in ways only just being explored.Beyond blood sugar and weight, Ozempic may also offer unexpected benefits. Dr. Aliabadi points out that some individuals report reduced cravings for alcohol while taking GLP-1 drugs, opening the door to new treatments for addiction in the future. The science is still developing, but it's another intriguing avenue for this class of medication.As new drugs like orforglipron enter the scene, delivering results that rival or surpass Ozempic, the landscape of medical weight loss continues to evolve rapidly. The one constant? While medications can be transformative, sustainable health always relies on a foundation of healthy choices and informed medical guidance.Thanks for joining us for another episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest news, science, and lived experiences around Ozempic – and how it's transforming the landscape of weight management and health. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, began as a treatment for type two diabetes but quickly made waves for its powerful effect on weight loss. According to Yale University, Ozempic works by slowing stomach emptying and interacting with the brain's appetite regulation centers, naturally decreasing hunger and helping you feel fuller longer. Major clinical trials, as reported by the New England Journal of Medicine, found that people using Ozempic lost on average fifteen percent of their body weight over a sixty-eight-week period. That's a significant shift in the fight against obesity and has inspired a wave of success stories in 2025.Take Maria, a forty-two-year-old mother of two who, after years of struggling with different diets, lost thirty-five pounds in six months after her doctor prescribed Ozempic. She combined her medication with healthy foods and daily walks, gaining more energy and renewed self-confidence. John, a long-time executive living with type two diabetes, lost forty pounds and enjoyed not only improved blood sugar but the feeling of having his life back. Their stories, shared on Yale's health campus, point to the idea that consistency, a holistic approach, and strong support from healthcare professionals and family make all the difference.Ozempic doesn't just bring physical changes. Dr. Daniel Drucker, who helped develop GLP-1 medicines like Ozempic, told Toronto Life that the drug's success has helped validate obesity as a biological, not just behavioral, condition. For many, it's become proof that medical science can help overcome a complex health challenge – not just willpower alone.Globally, Ozempic and its sister drug, Wegovy, are reshaping national health systems like the NHS in the United Kingdom. NHS reports show over three million prescriptions for Ozempic issued annually, a testament to its popularity and potential. Wegovy, which is a higher-dose version designed specifically for weight loss, became available through specialist services in 2024. Healthcare leaders stress, however, that medications like Ozempic should support, not replace, good nutrition and regular activity. A combined approach delivers the best outcomes, and ongoing monitoring is essential to managing both progress and any possible side effects.Speaking of side effects, most users report mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal issues, especially at the start. There are still open questions about the long-term risks, and health authorities caution against unlicensed or cosmetic providers offering Ozempic outside proper medical supervision.In the competitive field of weight loss drugs, new challengers are emerging. According to Drugs.com and recent publications in JAMA Internal Medicine, Mounjaro, which combines GLP-1 and another gut hormone, has shown even greater weight loss than Ozempic in large studies. Nearly eighty-two percent of people using Mounjaro lost at least five percent of their body weight, compared to about sixty-seven percent for Ozempic. There's also a promising newcomer: a once-monthly shot called MariTide, which recent phase two trials show may rival or even exceed Ozempic's results, though it is not yet widely available.Looking ahead, Ozempic and its competitors are not just for type two diabetes or general obesity. A June 2025 study reported by Live Science found Ozempic's active ingredient may even help people with type one diabetes manage blood sugar and lose weight, hinting at a broader impact on medicine in the years to come.That wraps up this episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Today, Dr. Lisa explores categorical self binding, a strategy where you intentionally avoid entire categories of food (like sugary drinks or ultra-processed snacks) to support weight loss, metabolic health, and potentially even cancer prevention. Unlike relying on willpower, binding creates systems that make healthier choices easier and more automatic over time.Dr. Lisa compares food addiction to substance addiction, highlighting that some of us may need firmer boundaries with hyperpalatable foods, not because there's something wrong with us, but because many foods have been engineered to hook us. While no foods are truly forbidden, experimenting with categorical binding can help reduce cravings and improve long-term habits—especially when done with flexibility and self-compassion.Thanks for listening!
