Episode 244: How to Restart a GLP-1s

from Back on Track: Achieving Healthy Weight Loss · host Dr. Alicia Shelly

Can I restart my GLP-1? The answer is yes — but it requires a strategic plan.  In this episode I'm walking you through exactly what happens to your body when you restart a GLP-1, why the timing of your break matters more than you think, how to restart safely without landing yourself in misery, the biggest mistakes I see patients make, and how to get back on track without shame or guilt. Restarting doesn't have to mean starting completely over. But how you restart matters. Listen now!   Episode Highlights: Why restarting at your previous dose will make you seriously sick What happens to your hunger, cravings, and fullness signals when you restart How long you've been off determines your restart dose The critical question that changes everything: weeks vs. months off Why weight regain after stopping is biology, not failure 3 practical strategies to minimize side effects and rebuild tolerance How to stay mentally on track without shame or comparison   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.
