Are medications solving the root of metabolic disease — or just masking it?
In this powerful episode that started as a Instagram LIVE, I break down what you're not being told about the most commonly prescribed drugs for blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight loss: GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy), statins, and Metformin.

I help you unpack:

• What these medications actually do (mechanisms of action)
• The real data behind their risk reduction claims
• How statins may suppress natural GLP-1 production
• Why GLP-1s cause significant muscle loss, not just fat loss
• Why Metformin doesn't reverse insulin resistance

More importantly, I walk you through what does restore metabolic health — including a system that's helping real people normalize labs, lose weight, and feel better without long-term prescriptions.

• The surprising truth about how statins impact your gut hormones
• Why insulin resistance — not cholesterol — is the real root cause
• How GLP-1 drugs work and what happens when you stop them
• The 3-step system to support blood sugar and cholesterol naturally
• How to evaluate your labs beyond A1C and LDL

GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy are dominating the conversation around weight loss — but what happens when the prescription ends? In this episode, Shana sits down with Lindsay Venn, PA-C, RD, and Clinical Director of Insulin IQ, to unpack how to reverse metabolic dysfunction without relying on lifelong medication.

They explore why insulin resistance is the real root issue, how to safely taper off GLP-1s without losing your progress, what labs can reveal your true healing status, and why many chronic diseases — including cancer — are deeply tied to your metabolism. This episode is a must-listen if you're struggling with fatigue, weight, hormonal chaos, or feeling like your body just isn't responding anymore.

What We Covered:

• Why GLP-1s may help but not heal your metabolism
• The most important labs to run before tapering off
• Common mistakes when weaning off Ozempic & Wegovy
• How insulin, mitochondria, and inflammation connect to cancer
• The role of fasting insulin, meal timing, and light in true healing
• The #1 lifestyle shift to calm your hormones and burn fat naturally
