If you’ve started a GLP-1 medication and found yourself thinking, “Why am I so tired all of a sudden?”, you’re definitely not alone. Today, we’re talking specifically about fatigue with semaglutide and tirzepatide—what the research actually shows, why fatigue seems more common with some GLP-1s than others, and what you can do if your energy […]

The Science Behind Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide
Today we’re diving into how medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide work in the body—and how they compare to the hormones your body naturally produces. Once you understand the biology behind them, their effects start to make a lot more sense. What is a peptide? Let’s start with the basics. A peptide is a molecule […]
Glucose 101 — How Blood Sugar Shapes Your Health
Today we’re talking about glucose — what it is, why your body absolutely needs it, and how the way glucose enters your bloodstream affects your energy, weight, hormones, inflammation, and long-term health. Glucose often gets a bad reputation, but the truth is much more nuanced. Glucose itself isn’t the problem. In fact, without it, you […]
GLP-1 Therapies Strategies: Weekly, Micro-Dose, and Maintenance
Today, we’re diving into GLP‑1 therapies, including dual GIP/GLP‑1 agonists and the emerging triple agonists, and talking about how these peptides are typically dosed, what people are experimenting with, and what the research — or real-world experience — tells us so far. Most GLP‑1 receptor agonists, as well as dual and triple agonists, are designed […]
Nutrient Tips While on GLP‑1 Medications
Today we’re going to talk about something that’s becoming really important for anyone taking medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or other GLP‑1 receptor agonists. You probably already know the benefits of GLP-1s—smaller appetite, better blood sugar control, and noticeable weight loss. But here’s the catch: eating less can sometimes mean you’re also taking in fewer essential […]
Finding the Right Fit: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or Retatrutide
Today, we’re tackling a question that comes up often in peptide, weight loss, and nutrition clinics: why does one person see great results with semaglutide, while another responds better to tirzepatide—or even retatrutide? All three peptides target the incretin system, but they act in slightly different ways—and those differences can dramatically affect outcomes. Let’s start […]
