What's Next When GLP-1s Stop Working? Weekly Weigh-In

Описание: his week’s weigh-in comes from New York City, where Christopher and Laraine Durham share an update on life in maintenance and what it looks like to stay consistent after significant weight loss with GLP-1 medications.

Laraine reflects on maintaining her weight loss nearly two years after reaching her goal, while Christopher talks about remaining steady on his dose after losing more than 100 pounds since beginning GLP-1 treatment in September 2023.

As always, the second half of the episode focuses on viewer questions. This week’s conversation covers some of the most common and misunderstood topics in the GLP-1 space, including:

Why some patients still pay full price for GLP-1 medications
Whether a higher-dose pen can be used at a lower dose
The difference between compounded medications and generics
Reports of phantom smells and other unusual sensory changes
What happens when someone reaches the maximum dose
How dosing units work with compounded medication
Whether there can be a temporary lull when titrating up
Changes in taste and food satisfaction
Adjusting mentally after major weight loss
Looking beyond the scale to measure progress

Christopher and Laraine speak from their own experience as patients who have collectively lost more than 150 pounds using tirzepatide, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. Their goal is to help others better understand the realities of treating the disease of obesity with GLP-1 medications.

Viewers are encouraged to leave questions in the comments for future episodes.
