But what happens when you are living with a Binge Eating Disorder? In this personal audio journal entry, I share my unfiltered experience trying two of the most common GLP-1 medications: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.The promise on the label is simple: suppress appetite, reduce calorie intake, lose weight.
