I'm Alex Ferrara and I'm taking a deep dive into the world of beauty and women's health.

I'm asking all the questions and trying every product and trend so you don't have to.

Today, I'm sitting down with Braca Banyan, founder, author, entrepreneur, public speaker, board-certified family nurse practitioner, and GLP-1 specialist.

We talk about Braca's start in healthcare, working in emergency rooms, what that taught her about the healthcare system, how and why she started her very own mobile IV drip company in New York City, and all of the health benefits she's seeing on top of weight loss with the use of GLP-1s.

She explains the difference between semiglutide, terzepatide, and retatrutide, which is not even out yet, who these medications are for, who they're not for, and how to use them responsibly.

We also talk about this new peptide craze, the ones she recommends, the ones she says to be a little careful with, and she really hits home with anything you're injecting in your body.

Please, please, please go to a trusted healthcare professional, do your homework, don't go rogue, and get your peptides from TikTok.
