Summary:

In Part 2 of this Q&A series, PA Heather and Valerie shift the conversation from aesthetics to wellness, tackling some of the most talked-about topics in modern medicine.

PA Heather breaks down the truth behind "Ozempic Face," explaining why rapid weight loss, muscle loss, and improper dosing are often the real culprits rather than GLP-1 medications themselves. She also discusses why body composition matters more than the number on the scale and why women are increasingly focusing on protein intake, creatine, muscle mass, and metabolic health.

The conversation explores common hormone-related symptoms that many women experience, including acne, hair growth, irregular cycles, stubborn weight gain, and why so many patients feel dismissed when seeking answers.

PA Heather also shares her perspective on the growing trend of med spas expanding into wellness services, the red flags patients should watch for when choosing a provider, and why education and medical oversight are critical when it comes to peptides, hormone therapy, and GLP-1 programs.

Finally, the episode dives into some of the most overhyped trends in wellness and aesthetics, including exosomes, peptide stacking, and how patients can separate marketing from science when evaluating new treatments.
