    Rosie O’Donnell on Mounjaro: From Then to Now GLP-1 Movement

    Resources for the Community: ___________________________________________________________________ https://linktr.ee/theplussidezpodcast  Ro - Telehealth for GLP1 weight management  https://ro.co/weight-loss/?utm_source=plussidez&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=comms_yt&utm_content=45497&utm_term=55 Find Your US Representatives  https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials  ______________________________________________________________________ Today is a Plus SideZ Rewind! Two years ago, we sat down with the one and only Rosie O’Donnell at the dawn of our movement for affordable access to GLP-1 medications & ending the stigma around treating obesity as a disease. Now, as we stand well into season five with thousands of new subscribers, so it’s time for a little time-travel! We’re bringing you a “Rewind” of that pivotal conversation to let our new listeners hear where it all began and let our longtime supporters see just how far we’ve come. In this flashback, we revisit that summer of 2023 when the Mounjaro $25 Savings Card Coupon was ending and people were flocking to compound GLP-1 which still had a lot of question marks surrounding it. And the shortage of all GLP-1s was growing. There was no Zepbound or cash pay price or branded vials. It was $1400-1000 a month go get access to branded GLP-1s. With more voices in the conversation today, we’re measuring our progress from that. Oh how far we’ve come! We can now get branded GLP-1 for under $500. That’s a ton of movement in a short time. But let’s get it lower!  Keep the faith. Let’s get loud AND change things!  ______________________________________________________________________ ⭐️Mounjaro Stanley⭐️ griffintumblerco.Etsy.com Use code PODCAST10 for $ OFF ______________________________________________________________________ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @theplussidez ______________________________________________________________________ #Mounjaro #MounjaroJourney #Ozempic #Semaglutide #tirzepatide  #GLP1 #Obesity #zepbound #wegovy  Send us Fan Mail!
