Retatrutide Weight Loss Truth (Doctor Explains) | EP 102

Find or Get Your Medspa Certified: https://medspaboard.com/ [https://medspaboard.com/] Would you take a weight loss drug that outperforms bariatric surgery if your doctor told you it wasn't legal yet? There's a new drug making waves in weight loss medicine. The clinical trial results are unlike anything we've seen before. And some clinics are already injecting it into patients, even though it's not legal to do so. It's called Retatrutide.  And Dr. Kate Dee wants you to know exactly what it is before someone tries to sell it to you. She breaks down how this triple-receptor drug works, why the weight loss numbers out of phase three trials are turning heads, and what the side effects actually look like when you read the data carefully.  Dr. Dee also explains the legal landscape in plain terms because right now, there is no legal pathway to get this drug outside of a clinical trial. Not through a compounding pharmacy, not through a wellness clinic, not anywhere. She's here to make sure you're not the person who finds that out the hard way. If you're already on a GLP-1 medication and wondering what's next, this episode gives you a clear framework for thinking through that question. If you've seen retatrutide mentioned online and you're curious, this is the episode that separates the science from the hype. Press play as Dr. Dee shares her own personal take and it might surprise you.

This Skin Tightening Device SKIPPED Human Trials (It's in Med Spas) ft. Dr. Corinne Erickson - Dermatologist | EP 101

What if the skin-tightening device your med spa is pushing on you has zero human safety data? Not outdated data. Not limited data. Zero. That's the reality behind one of the most hyped devices in aesthetics right now, and Dr. Kate Dee isn't staying quiet about it. Dr. Kate Dee sits down with Dr. Corrine Erickson, a board-certified dermatologist and owner of Georgia Skin Specialists in Atlanta, to cut through the noise on non-invasive skin tightening. These treatments are everywhere right now, and so is the misinformation. They name the devices that had good ideas but poor execution, including some that are still being sold today. Then they break down what the newer generation of RF technology actually does, how it works, and why the science behind it matters more than the marketing. Dr. Erickson chose her device based on published clinical data, head-to-head studies, and real-world outcomes. Not Instagram hype. Actual evidence. Meanwhile, Dr. Dee raises serious questions about one device flying off shelves right now whose only published safety study was done on two-to-three-month-old pigs. That device is being sold in med spas across the country right now. Maybe even yours.

100 Patients Injected With Illegal GLP-1 at This Med Spa

The Safer Way to Choose a Medspa → MedspaBoard.com [https://medspaboard.com/] What if the "FDA-approved" weight loss shot you just got… wasn't? The headlines reduced this story to a clinic shutdown and a few thousand dollars in penalties. But Dr. Kate Dee exposes what may have actually happened behind the scenes: roughly 100 patients allegedly injected with research-grade peptides never intended for human use. This could be happening right now in your state, possibly at a clinic down the street, and most patients would never know until something goes wrong. Dr. Kate Dee breaks down the real Alabama case [https://www.burnsandwilcox.com/insights/lawsuit-alleges-medspa-used-unapproved-glp-1-weight-loss-drugs/]that should have made national headlines. According to the complaint, a med spa allegedly injected patients with substances labeled “not suitable for direct human consumption” while patients believed they were receiving FDA approved GLP-1 medications. She explains how a gray-market peptide supplier, questionable oversight, and loopholes inside the med spa industry created the perfect storm for patient harm and why the consequences handed down barely reflect how serious this case really was.
