This comprehensive guide cuts through the confusion, delivering expert insights and practical strategies for anyone navigating the world of GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide.

- The truth about how GLP-1 medications work, explanations of the differences between them
- Critical questions to ask when selecting a provider and what red flags to watch for
- Expert strategies for maximizing your results while minimizing side effects
- A complete roadmap for long-term success, from starting treatment to transitioning off
- Real-world success stories and proven lifestyle optimization techniques

- Plus a bonus chapter on how to prepare for the FDA shortages to end and the removal of compounded product availability
This practical guide contains the most recent information available on these medications, and should answer most (if not all) of the questions you might have before starting.
Whether you're just starting to explore GLP-1 medications or looking to optimize your current treatment, this book provides the guidance and resources you need to make informed decisions about your health and achieve lasting results.
This book is authored by a licensed therapist and social worker, who also works with clients taking GLP-1 medications. Audrey Litts, LMSW, is a mom of 4 kids, ages 10, 9, 5 and 3 (yikes!) and discovered the benefits of semaglutide as a patient in 2022. A lot has changed in this market since that time, and she has been there for all of it! This guide is designed for people who have questions about using GLP-1 medications and aren't sure what or who to trust on the subject. In her work, Audrey often hears concerns and questions with similar themes - safety, side effects, differences between active ingredients, cost differences, insurance coverage - the list is endless. Her goal is to help by putting all of these resources in one place for easy reference.
