Are you frustrated with the sky-high costs of GLP-1 medications in the U.S.? You’re not alone. While many countries offer these life-changing treatments at a fraction of the price, Americans are left grappling with hefty out-of-pocket expenses that can hinder their ability to live healthy, fulfilling lives. In this episode, we sit down with Kim Carlos, host of the Plus SideZ podcast, who is on a mission to change that.

Kim opens up about her lifelong battle with weight and the impactful experience that motivated her to travel to Washington, D.C., and advocate for affordable access to GLP-1s at a Senate HELP Committee hearing. Tune in to learn how you can get loud, be part of the movement for accessible healthcare, and join the conversation to make a difference!
