Tirzepatide

What I found was both wild and well-documented: the gut—yes, your gut—may be deeply involved in how osteoarthritis develops and how it could be treated. A hormone called GLP-1, best known for regulating digestion and appetite, might also protect cartilage and reduce joint inflammation. Researchers call it the gut-joint axis, and it’s changing the way we think about osteoarthritis.

The window for GLP-1 compounders to tap dance around the compounding ban is almost closed — and anyone still trying to squeeze through could end up with some bruised fingers. A federal court ruling has backed the FDA’s determination that shortages of Wegovy and Ozempic are officially over, setting up a sharp end to the era of legally available compounded GLP-1s.

File it under "you know someone is true friend when," category, but when the infamous sulphur burps of a GLP-1 diet hit me, I had to know...

Starting a GLP-1 journey can feel overwhelming — not just because of the medication, but because of the new language that comes with it....

Women make up the majority of GLP-1 users, meaning they take medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro,...

GLP-1 medications are poised to be a $125 billion industry by 2030, and that has a lot of people wondering how to get the same boost you can get in drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound naturally.

The people who keep the weight off long-term aren’t just lucky. They used the quiet to rewire the noise.

Since we know the science, why can't we get generic GLP-1s? It all comes down to the patent and proprietary information.

People love to talk about weight loss wins with GLP-1s like semaglutide or tirzepatide. The before-and-afters are dramatic. But what you don’t see in those pictures? The lean muscle quietly vanishing under the scale’s praise. Unless you're prioritizing the right fuel—especially protein—that loss can be permanent and problematic. It might sound like a scare tactic to get you to eat healthily, but the risks are all too real.

Despite the science, support, and proven outcomes, people taking these medications still face skepticism, judgment, and flat-out rudeness.

In this guide, we’re cutting through the noise and calling out the most common GLP-1 myths for what they are—subjective and sometimes silly.

My first attempt to get Zepbound through LillyDirect at the discounted price felt like a triangulated game of "Who's On First?" I faced a...

Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical giant, filed a sweeping set of lawsuits in federal court, accusing four telehealth startups—Mochi Health, Fella Health, Empower Pharmacy, and Henry Meds—of illegally selling off-brand, compounded versions of its blockbuster weight-loss and diabetes drugs, Zepbound and Mounjaro.

If you're on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound, you already know these drugs can do a number on your appetite—and your...

GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, are transforming lives when it comes to weight loss and blood sugar control. But alongside the benefits come a whole range of side effects that deserve more than a bullet list on a pharmacy handout.

Here’s a riddle: What makes so much noise in your head that it controls every step you take—yet you don’t actually hear it until it’s gone? The buzzword is "food noise," and if you're taking GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro, you're likely feeling very seen right now. But what is food noise, really?

The rapid rise of GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) has transformed obesity and diabetes care. Yet, as more people use these medications, a common experience emerges: the GLP-1 weight loss plateau.

Hydration for a GLP-1 diet is one of the most overlooked but critical parts of making the meds work with your body, not against it. And spoiler: it’s not just about drinking more water. Electrolytes matter. Timing matters. Plus, it could be the very issue causing some of the side effects you're blaming on the medication.

If you're on a GLP-1 medication—or thinking about starting one—you’ve probably heard about the importance of protein along with appetite...
