The newest class of weight loss drugs (GLP-1s) are complete game-changers in their potential to reverse obesity and its related diseases, with nearly 50% of Americans qualifying for the use of these drugs. Already 1 in 8 Americans say they’ve tried a GLP-1 medication—but with many acquiring their prescription from online pharmacies, med spas, and general practitioners, they face a huge gap between trying the drug and achieving their health goals with it long-term.

• What the GLP-1 experience really feels like

• How to know if you’re a candidate for these medications

• How to get a prescription and get it covered by insurance

• How to manage and reduce unwanted side effects

• Unique food plans and strategies for managing the mental challenges of losing weight

• Simple, easy recipes for when you don’t feel like eating
