The Real Reason You Feel Awful on GLP-1s (It's Not the Drug)

from Obesity: The War Within · host Brian Samuel, MD

The tiredness, the headaches, the hair in the shower drain. Most people blame the medication, and most of the time the real cause is what they quietly stopped eating. This might be the most important episode of the season. I explain why turning off hunger did not turn off your body's needs, why an empty tank gets mistaken for a side effect, and the one question to ask yourself before you blame the shot for how you feel. If you only listen to one episode this season, make it this one. I'm not your doctor, and this is education, not personal medical advice.
