Hello Trendsetters,

In one of our most exciting episodes yet, the Wellness Musketeers sat down with TARA SCHMIDT, Lead Dietitian at the Mayo Clinic, to unpack the myths, Medication, and mindsets that surround weight loss.

TARA brings both science and compassion to the table — something we don’t always see in today’s nutrition conversations. From GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy, to the role of stigma in healthcare, to practical tips for hydration and balanced eating, this conversation is as real as it gets.
