I also dive into why I started this podcast in the first place—with a powerful quote from Steve Jobs that reminds us growth is slow, but worth it. Then, I introduce a brand-new segment: Weekly GLP-1 & Ozempic News. This week, we cover Ontario’s current coverage rules, how Canadian prices compare globally, and celebrate Toronto’s own Dr. Daniel Drucker—the scientist whose discovery of GLP-1 is changing lives around the world. This is an episode filled with facts, heart, and hope.  Let’s take our health into our own hands—together. 💪 👉 For more information, visit my podcast website at:  https://www.podpage.com/finding-wendy-my-journey-to-wellness/ [https://www.podpage.com/finding-wendy-my-journey-to-wellness/] ☕️ Support the Podcast — Buy Me a Coffee!
