🚨 GLP-1s & Your BOTOX: What the New Study Says and why your treatment may not last as long💉

If you’re taking a GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy) and also get type A neurotoxin like Botox, you need to see this! A new computational study suggests that GLP-1 medications may reduce the durability of your botulinum toxin treatments.

Here are the key statistics from the computational model:
* Chronic Migraine Treatment: The mean duration of effect for BoNT-A (Botox) declined from 14.0 weeks (in controls) to as low as 11.8 weeks in patients with high GLP-1 exposure.
* Aesthetic Treatments (Masseter Prominence): The mean duration of effect decreased from 20.1 weeks (in controls) to a minimum of 16.2 weeks.
* Drug Hierarchy: The study suggested the effect varied by drug, with the greatest reduction in duration modeled for tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound), followed by liraglutide, then dulaglutide, and finally semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy).

* The Cause: The reduction in durability was attributed primarily to synaptic modulation (~55%)—the drug’s effect on nerve signaling—and lean-mass decline (~30%).

The Bottom Line: If you’re on a GLP-1, you may need to schedule your Botox touch-ups sooner than before. While not specifically implied, this would include compounded medications as well.

⚠️ Always consult your healthcare provider and injector to discuss any medications you are taking and to tailor your treatment plan!

So why does breast cancer increase after menopause?
⭐️Many reasons, but one of the main protective hormones you have in your body is estrogen.

Once you go through menopause, your estrogen level drops to almost 0, leaving you vulnerable without the long-term protective benefits.
This is where breast cancer rates increase, osteoporosis start s showing up along with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and so many other problems.

Historically estrogen replacement has been viewed as bad or harmful. What’s harmful is giving the synthetic version or the wrong form of the bioidentical version.

Your body makes estrogen. Some providers will prescribe synthetic estrogen when you hit perimenopause or menopause. But in fact, this can harmful. What you should be demanding is ESTRADIOL!!

That is not harmful in any way, shape or form. But to take it one step further, the delivery method is also just as important. If you’re getting a topical cream, that’s more than likely a synthetic estrogen and won’t give you those long-term health benefits.

Now, it will help with your moodiness or hot flashes, symptoms related to perimenopause, but it won’t give you the bigger, long-term benefits or protective benefits from breast/endometrial cancer, Alzheimer’s/dementia, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, stroke, or heart attack.

⭐️It’s important to know what you’re getting. ⭐️It’s important to get the right form of this medication. ⭐️It’s important to get the right delivery method. ⭐️It’s important to know what your level is. If you don’t know what your level is, then you risk missing all of the protective benefits.
