When GLP-1 Stops Working: My Honest Update

GLP-1 Side Effects, Dose Adjustments & Whole-Food Habits for Healthy Aging MC of Healthy by George shares what to do when experiencing side effects from a GLP-1 drug, explaining they couldn’t tolerate 15 mg/week and reduced to 12.5 mg/week to ease symptoms like heartburn while working with an insurance wellness coach. They emphasize a comprehensive approach—calorie tracking, testing apps (dropping a photo-based one), and using the Hum Band’s new nutrition features—alongside whole-food eating that has noticeably changed their taste buds, making packaged foods and overly sweet desserts unappealing. After nearly three years on Mounjaro, they note slow progress with muscle gain and weight loss, prefer gradual change to avoid a gaunt look, and are focusing on sleep and adjusting diet to address slightly elevated cholesterol. They discuss planning an enjoyable, mindful birthday meal and encourage viewers to invest in long-term wellness through food, movement, rest, and stress management. 00:00 GLP-1 Side Effects Fix 00:51 Tracking Apps Tested 01:50 Channel Intro Mission 02:35 Whole Foods Change Taste 04:28 Slow Loss Muscle Gain 05:32 Cholesterol Food Tweaks 06:15 Dessert Hacks Birthday Plan 08:02 Wellness Beyond Insurance 09:42 Let Go Old Identity 10:33 Weekly Routine Callout 11:01 Final Sendoff 📥 FREE DOWNLOAD: Your Health Change Navigation Guide A beautiful 2-page printable with the Three Questions, your Navigation Team roles, trusted health resources, and more. → https://www.healthybygeorge.com/shop 💌 JOIN GLOWUP — Dr. George's free newsletter on healthy aging, mindfulness & intentional living: → https://www.healthybygeorge.com/#news... 🎙️ ABOUT DR.
