Starting medications like Zepbound & Wegovy can feel overwhelming without the right information. I understand that most doctors prescribing these medications don’t have the luxury of spending 20 minutes explaining what patients can expect. That’s why I created this episode—to provide you with the insights you need.

In my practice, I frequently guide patients through starting medications like Zepbound and Wegovy, offering them a clear understanding of what to expect such as:

• Who the GLP-1 medications are for
• Who Should Avoid GLP-1 Medications
• Why Long-Term Use with GLP-1 Medications is needed
• Side Effects that you might encounter
• How to minimize Side Effects
• A brief guide to Injections
• What to Eat While on Medication
• The role of Exercise with this GLP-1 medication

This episode serves as a more personal way to communicate that information, helping patients feel more prepared and informed.

So, here’s a condensed version of the conversation I have with patients regularly. It’s like you’re sitting down with me, receiving the same advice I’d give in person. Share this with someone else who is taking these medications. For prescribers, it could make your life a little easier by providing a resource you can share—whether it’s this episode—so you can offer more depth without needing to cover everything in a short clinical visit.

Listen to the full episode for a deeper dive into each topic and how it can make your experience with these medications smoother.
