Episode description

Surely you’ve heard of Ozempic and Wegovy. But did you know there’s a supplement that’s been dubbed nature's Ozempic? It’s called berberine. And, as you can imagine, we were very curious about its legitimacy. So, Carolyn dug into the research and in today’s episode we’re talking about if it really deserves the name "nature’s Ozempic" and the different health benefits of berberine, plus how much you should aim to take.
