The Honest GLP-1 Companion
Straight Answers About Starting, Staying On, and Stopping
A patient’s companion to GLP-1 medications, written from the patient’s perspective, not the clinic’s. Not medical advice, not a memoir, not a diet book. What the evidence says, in plain language, with sources you can check.
01
What the evidence says
The major trials, what they showed and what they didn’t, translated into plain language, without the hype in either direction.
02
Starting treatment
The questions worth asking before the first prescription, and what the first weeks tend to look like from the patient’s side.
03
Side effects, honestly
What’s common, what’s rare, and when the right answer is a call to your prescriber rather than a search engine.
04
Sources you can check
Every claim is cited. You can read what the author read and decide for yourself.
