Sulfur burps on a GLP-1? 🥚💨 You’re not alone.

That rotten-egg taste/smell is usually related to slower stomach emptying caused by GLP-1 medications. Food stays in the stomach longer, which can increase fermentation and the production of sulfur-containing gas.

What can help:
• 🍽️ Eat smaller, more frequent meals
• 🥩 Avoid very large or high-fat meals
• 🥚 Temporarily cut back on foods that trigger sulfur burps for you (eggs, cruciferous vegetables, etc.)
• 💧 Stay well hydrated
• 🚶‍♀️ Take a gentle walk after meals
• 💊 If symptoms are persistent, talk to your prescriber—your dose or titration schedule may need adjustment

Pro tip: Sulfur burps can be a sign that your GI system is struggling with the current dose. More medication isn’t always better—sometimes slower titration is the answer.

⚠️ If you have severe/persistent abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, fever, or significant abdominal swelling, seek medical evaluation.

Save this for your next GLP-1 day! 💚

I took an oath to do no harm for my patients. Even if it may disappoint them at first, my job is to educate them about safety.

Our goal is never to be on the lower range of BMI. These medications are indicated for patients who are struggling with overweight or obesity. We do not have enough studies to support the use of these medications inpatient with normal weight.

Any medication has side-effects and risks.

We, as providers, need to know how to council patients about the appropriate use of these medications. Unfortunately, there are so much stigma and obsession about weight, especially with the realm of these medications.

We still don’t have guidelines for breast cancer with GLP1 medications. And we need better randomize control trials in order to get better data.
But this is definitely a discussion if you are a patient at risk of breast cancer or already diagnosed to bring it up with your doctor the next time!

How many hours do you sleep and how do you feel when you wake up!
Assessing sleep quality and quantity is very important to be evaluated if you are trying to get into a healthier lifestyle!

Let’s talk and work with our providers rather than comparing to social media!

GLP-1s and Tachycardia: What Patients Need to Know

A modest increase in resting heart rate has been observed with GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists such as Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound.

Potential mechanisms include:
• Increased sympathetic nervous system activity
• Reduced vagal tone
• Reflex tachycardia from blood pressure reduction
• Dehydration and volume depletion
• Electrolyte abnormalities
• Rapid weight loss and inadequate caloric intake

Ways to minimize risk:
💧 Aim for adequate hydration
🥩 Consume sufficient protein
⚡ Replenish electrolytes when appropriate
🍽️ Avoid extreme calorie deficits
🏃 Maintain regular physical activity
❤️ Track resting heart rate trends

While a mild increase is generally not concerning, persistent tachycardia, palpitations, syncope, chest pain, or dyspnea warrant medical evaluation.
