What's inside

This guide is designed for patients and clinicians who want GLP-1 therapy to improve health, not just shrink a number. You’ll get a step-by-step overview of how these medications work, how to reduce common side effects, what symptoms deserve urgent evaluation, and a practical checklist of blood tests and measurements that help preserve muscle, nutrients, and long-term metabolic resilience.

Is this guide right for me if I’m not diabetic? Yes. It covers weight loss and metabolic health use.
Does it include labs? Yes, with a quick-reference table.
Does it talk about muscle? Yes. It includes DEXA/BIA, VO2 max, and grip strength.
