Description
Is my GLP-1 working? It's the question we hear more than any other. Dr. Matthew Weiner and registered dietitian Zoë Schroeder break down what normal looks like on the shots and the pills.
About 15% of people lose weight easily with just a prescription, about 15% barely lose anything, and most land in the middle, where nutrition, dose and the medication all matter. We cover the "non-responder" line, the Wegovy pill vs Wegovy vs Zepbound vs Foundayo, why diabetes means less weight loss, eating when you're never hungry, and whether you have to stay on a GLP-1 for good.
