Starting a GLP-1? The first month is where most people quietly go wrong.

These are extremely effective medications, but they do require an understanding of how to make them work. Most people on social media report having less information than they would feel comfortable with. That’s why they turn to Reddit and TikTok, to see if other people can help.

That’s why I’m here. I want to provide medical information — it’s not personalized advice — to you so that you can stay safe and find success.

đź’¬ Comment STARTER for a link to my free guide.

💬 Comment BOOK if you want to access to, “The Ultimate GLP-1 Guide.” This is a book with 140 pages in it of high-quality evidence and all of the recommendations I would provide if we had unlimited time to go over them.

Follow along so you don’t miss the rest of the series. I’m preparing free guides on protein, fiber, and how to work with AI to build a personalized plan that will help you.

This will address your cravings and those of your friends and family members.

It’s startling the impact that added sugar has on our metabolic health. It would be best if we didn’t have it. Since we do, and many are consuming them, I recommend that people switch to artificial sweeteners. They’re not as bad as we have been made to believe. Real sugar/added sugars are worse than we might appreciate.

Do everyone a favor and shake it really hard.

I loathe going to the dentist.

I lose sleep the night before, pray in the parking lot, and my stomach drops when the dentist tells me to open up.

But I’ve learned that oral hygiene is a marathon and a dentist appointment can be an aid station.

This post has exact questions for you to bring to your next appointment with your healthcare team.

Find it on my Substack from The Metabolic Playbook.

Anyone else feel me? I do try and be compassionate during dietary recalls because I get it, we’re all human.

Do you remember what you ate yesterday without tracking?

Call it what you will, I really don’t care, but don’t tell me my pronunciation is wrong. I’m using the CEO’s own pronunciation. Correcting me is like correcting a parent for the pronunciation of their child.

Dr. Rees’ PB and Chocolate oatmeal is amazing. No, this isn’t an ad with reeses or Costco , but if they wants to sponsor one, I’m accepting offers.

This is one of my favorite meals or snacks. The most expensive part is the protein powder which accounts for about 75% of the cost. That’s worth it to me because of the chocolatey flavor and the satiating effect of the high fiber and protein in Orgain.

There is no hard and fast recipe. This can be adapted to your metabolic goals with more or less of any ingredient. I am 6 foot five and I’m looking to build muscle so I have a very high protein requirement — more so than any of my patients.
