While the Stripped Down author had to navigate through that bleak chapter in her life, she reassured listeners that her experience with the weight-loss drug isn’t the end all be all.
“My story is not what’s going to happen to you,” she reiterated. “There’s so many people who are taking Reta and love it, but something happened with me.”
