Before I started taking Zepbound in January 2025, I did weeks of research to find out what it would take to seize this moment and reshape my poor relationship with food. As a newly 50 year old woman in the throws of perimenopause, I had no time to lose. Here’s a breakdown of the most important vitamins and minerals to keep on your radar, especially if you’re trying to minimize GLP-1 side effects and get the most from your journey.

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.

As demand for GLP-1 medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) continues to surge in the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and...

While the advent of the Ozempic Era is widely credited to Big Pharma companies like Novo Nordisk (semaglutide) and Eli Lilly (tirzepatide), it turns out the real GLP-1 game changer is one of the most venomous and elusive lizards on Earth: the Gila monster.

Have you heard of "Ozempic Face"? It’s the phrase that’s been circulating on social media and in dermatology clinics—used to describe the hollowed cheeks, loose skin, and overall facial thinning that can happen during fast, GLP–1–assisted weight loss. And while it’s often blamed on fat loss alone, there’s another key factor: collagen loss. That's why you need to choose a GLP-1 collagen supplement to limit the "sag."

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...

Tirzepatide vs semaglutide. Sounds like a pharmaceutical spelling bee, right? If you've ever tried to untangle the difference between...

Tirzepatide is one of the newest GLP-1-based medications to get FDA approval, and it’s changing the conversation around weight loss and metabolic health in a big way. While tirzepatide for weight loss is a big lure, it's also used to treat Type 2 Diabetes and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

If you’ve heard someone mention Ozempic or Wegovy recently, you’ve already heard of semaglutide—just not by its chemical name. Semaglutide is a medication that has changed the game in two major areas: managing type 2 diabetes and helping people lose weight.
