370: In today’s Bite of Knowledge episode, I’m breaking down what Botox actually is, how it works in the body, and the potential risks and side effects that often get overlooked. We’re talking about the connection between Botox and botulinum toxin, the long-term complications some people have experienced, and why I personally decided against getting Botox after seriously considering it myself. I also share some natural alternatives I’ve used for supporting healthy skin, wrinkles, and aging naturally without injections.
