GLP-1 drugs are lab made GLP-1 (a hormone) antagonist receptors that increase the satiety feeling so you eat less and lose weight. Healthy lifestyle such as eating a nutritious diet and getting enough physical activity are also recommended when taking GLP-1 drugs. As a health coach, I help with the lifestyle piece. Message me for a complimentary consultation!

Here are 5 things health experts say to expect after you stop taking GLP-1 drugs, including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound).

Nicely done history in pictures (and brief captions) about how ultra processed foods (UPFs) came about. 1-2 minute read.
