Description: In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, Kristen sits down with Megan McCue to uncover the often-overlooked risks behind one of the most normalized cosmetic procedures today: Botox. What began as a routine injection quickly turned into a life-altering experience when Megan developed iatrogenic botulism — leaving her with debilitating neurological symptoms, difficulty swallowing, intense anxiety, and a long, complicated recovery.As a speech language pathologist, Megan brings both personal experience and clinical insight to this conversation, helping bridge the gap between how Botox is marketed to women and the reality of what can happen when the body reacts negatively. Kristen and Megan also dive into the cultural pressures driving the demand for cosmetic injections, the lack of true informed consent surrounding Botox, and why women deserve far more transparency when it comes to the products and procedures marketed to them. Through her advocacy work, Megan is now helping others recognize symptoms, ask better questions, and prioritize long-term health over quick cosmetic fixes.Find Megan on Instagram @botoxtruths or on her website: www.iatrogenicbotulism.comCheck out Megan’s books:Iatrogenic Botulism 101: A Guide for Doctors, Nurses, and Other Healthcare ProvidersMe Tox PrettyNotoxGrab an AirDoctor air purifier here - no code needed!My favorite personal red light therapy device for every season of life is the Lumebox.
