In this episode of TelehealthFX Talk, we walk you through your first 90 days on semaglutide or tirzepatide week-by-week, so you know exactly what to expect, do not panic when it gets hard, and do not make the mistake that costs most people their results.👇 **HERE'S WHAT WE COVER** 👇• **WEEKS 1-2: The Titration Phase** — Starting doses are intentionally LOW (semaglutide 0.25 mg, tirzepatide 2.5 mg). Not the full therapeutic dose — this is calibration. Appetite suppression is mild. Possible nausea, fatigue, constipation — or no side effects at all. Both are normal. What to do: Eat small portions slowly, stop at the first sign of fullness. Avoid high-fat foods. Protein first. Do not weigh yourself obsessively. This is not the results phase yet.• **WEEKS 3-4: The "Food Noise" Shift** — The milestone patients remember forever: "I just forgot to eat." The constant hunger chatter quiets. Cravings for sugar, processed food, and alcohol decrease. Portions naturally shrink without effort. Scale movement typically begins: 4-8 lbs combined in month 1. Energy improves. Nausea lessens. Psychological adjustment: food becomes less emotionally central.• **MONTH 2 (Weeks 5-8): Visible Changes & First Dose Increase** — First dose increase (semaglutide → 0.5 mg; tirzepatide → 5 mg). May temporarily bring back mild nausea for 1-2 weeks. Normal. Not a relapse. Average loss: 1-2 lbs/week (highly individual). Clothes fit differently. People notice. Take photos. Measure your waist. Track energy and sleep.• **MONTH 3 (Weeks 9-12): Habit Lock-In & The Plateau Test** — Full GI adaptation. Lifestyle habits feel automatic. Possible second dose increase. First mini-plateau often appears here. This is NOT failure. This is metabolic adaptation. Stay the course. THIS is where most people who quit, quit — and where most people who succeed, separate themselves. Metabolic markers improve: blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, CRP. These add years to your life.• **THE 3 PREDICTORS OF 90-DAY SUCCESS** — 1. Protein priority: hits protein targets = more fat loss, less muscle loss. 2. Resistance training: start in month 1, dramatically better outcomes at month 6. 3. Provider engagement: check-ins, dose adjustments, and answered questions = far higher retention.⏱️ **TIMESTAMPS** ⏱️0:00 — Introduction: The episode that prevents quitting1:00 — Why unmet expectations are the real enemy1:30 — Weeks 1-2: The titration phase2:30 — Weeks 3-4: The food noise shift3:30 — Month 2: Visible changes and dose increase4:45 — Month 3: Habit lock-in and the plateau test6:00 — The 3 predictors of 90-day success6:45 — TelehealthFX: Prepared before day one7:45 — Visit TelehealthFX🔗 **TAKE THE NEXT STEP** 🔗• Start your GLP-1 qualification quiz: [https://go.telehealthfx.com/start](https://go.telehealthfx.com/start)• Explore berberine options: [https://go.telehealthfx.com/berberine](https://go.telehealthfx.com/berberine)• Visit TelehealthFX: [https://telehealthfx.com](https://telehealthfx.com)🏢 **ABOUT TELEHEALTHFX** 🏢1-on-1 onboarding sets expectations before you receive your first dose. 24-hour provider review means week-2 nausea does not spiral into medication abandonment.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
