Your body naturally makes GLP-1 after meals, but GLP-1 medications are designed to keep that signal active much longer.
Before starting a GLP-1 medication, ask your healthcare provider about possible side effects, medication risks, nutrition needs, and how you will be monitored.
Weight loss should not come at the cost of muscle, protein intake, vitamins, minerals, or overall strength.
Start with the basics: cut back on sugary drinks and ultra-processed foods, drink enough water, and build meals around nourishing whole foods.
Hunger and cravings are not always the same thing. Stress, boredom, habits, dehydration, and emotional eating can all lead to eating when your body may need something else.
