GLP-1 Products

Like tax day, I knew it was coming, but I figured it was far enough away that I had more important things to focus on. I'm talking about the loose skin that inevitably follows rapid weight loss. Now here I am, wrinkled as a Shar-Pei yet more than 150 pounds lighter after using Zepbound for 18 months. Whether you've lost weight from GLP-1s, bariatric surgery, or through diet and exercise, the loose skin challenge is one of the final frontiers at your goal weight. Unless you ha

Nobody understands the fear of GLP-1 injections more than I do. Taking a medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound is intimidating enough. Add in a fear of needles and the idea of giving yourself a shot, and it's enough to make many people pause, even after spending hundreds of dollars out of pocket. I get it. When I started this journey, the shot was one of the biggest hurdles. Today, after more than a year of weekly injections, I could probably give myself a shot with my

If you've spent any time in GLP-1 groups, you've probably seen people talking about collagen supplements. Some swear by them for skin, hair, nails, and joints. Others argue they're a waste of money.

But there's one detail many people miss: collagen and vitamin C are a team. Taking one without the other may limit the benefits you're hoping to

When I started taking Zepbound, I quickly realized something. The bathroom scale was only telling part of the story. Sure, the number was going down. That was great. But what was actually happening inside my body? Was I losing fat? Muscle? Water? A little of everything? That's when I bought a smart scale. Like many people on a GLP-1 journey, I wanted more data than a simple weight measurement could provide. Smart scales promise insights into body fat percentage, muscle mass,

GLP-1s can be a case of "careful what you wish for," especially if you're losing a large amount of weight and your clothing doesn't fit. We all reach that stage when we wonder, "Should I buy new clothes now? Or wait until I hit my goal weight?" I went in search of solutions as I dropped from a 3-4X size to a Large size over the course of a year. While there's always the low-hanging fruit option of buying clothes at Goodwill or just letting baggy trends take over, I also found

At least one in ten Americans uses a GLP-1 like Wegovy or Zepbound. That means there's a chance you'll need a gift guide for the GLP-1 user in your life. Not only does a gift that matches their lifestyle goals help you show support, but it also helps avoid some potentially awkward gift encounters. I came up with the idea for this blog after Halloween, when a colleague came in and said, "I heard you like M&Ms. Here you go!" and dropped a pumpkin full of mini-bags on my desk. W

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic or Zepbound, you're likely facing a holiday season full of temptation at the table.
