GLP-1 SUPPORT
You shouldn't have to figure this out alone.
You got the prescription. Maybe from your GP, maybe online. The weight started coming off. But nobody told you what to do about the nausea that won't stop. Or the hair that's thinning. Or the fact that you can barely eat. Or the fear, the one you don't say out loud, that if you stop, every kilogram comes back. If you don't have someone to talk to about what you're going through, this page is for you.
What no one warned you about.
These are the things people message me about at midnight. You're not the only one.
I can't eat anything
The nausea is constant. You're forcing yourself to eat a few bites. You know you should be getting more protein but the thought of food makes you feel sick. Nobody told you that not eating enough is actually one of the biggest risks on this medication.
My hair is falling out
You're finding it in the shower, on your pillow, in your hands. Your doctor says it's not the medication. The internet says it is. The truth is that rapid weight loss triggers a type of hair shedding called telogen effluvium, and it's more common on GLP-1s than most prescribers acknowledge.
I'm terrified to stop
The weight is coming off but you already know the statistics. Most people regain. And that fear, the one that keeps you renewing the prescription even when you feel terrible, is more familiar than you think. It's the same fear that drives restrictive eating. The same fear that keeps people trapped in cycles they can't break. You're not weak for feeling it. But it does need addressing.
My period has changed
It's heavier, lighter, irregular, or missing entirely. Rapid weight loss and hormonal shifts from GLP-1 medications can disrupt your menstrual cycle. If you're in perimenopause, it's even harder to know what's the medication and what's hormonal. This isn't talked about enough.
I feel anxious or low
A recent study analysing over 400,000 Reddit posts found that psychiatric symptoms, including anxiety and mood changes, are among the most underreported side effects of GLP-1 medications. If your mood has shifted since starting, you're not imagining it.
I got it online and have no follow-up
No GP. No check-ins. No one to ask if what you're experiencing is normal. You're Googling symptoms and reading Reddit threads at 2am. That's not support. That's survival.
The weight has stalled
It was working and now it's not. You've hit a plateau and you don't know if you need a higher dose, a different approach, or if something else is going on. A plateau isn't failure. It's information. But someone needs to help you read it.
I don't recognise my body
You've lost weight but you look different than you expected. Your face looks older. You feel weaker. Your clothes fit differently but not in the way you imagined. Nobody talks about the identity shift that comes with rapid weight loss, or the grief that can come with it.
The fear beneath the fear.
The thing I hear most often isn't about nausea or stalls or side effects. It's about weight. The fear of gaining it back is so intense that people will tolerate feeling terrible on the medication rather than consider stopping. They'll push through nausea, exhaustion, hair loss, mood changes, all of it, because the alternative feels worse.
I understand this fear intimately. I spent years trapped in a cycle where the terror of weight gain controlled every decision I made about food. I'm trained in eating disorders and disordered eating, and I can tell you that this fear, when it becomes the thing driving all your choices, needs more than a protein target and a gym plan. It needs someone who understands the psychology of it. Someone who won't just tell you to eat more and train harder. That's what I'm here for.
You can ask me anything.
I'm not a doctor. I won't adjust your dose or prescribe anything. But I understand metabolic health, I understand the psychology of food and weight, and I understand what it's like to have no one in your corner. If you have a question, a worry, something you've been Googling at 2am, just ask. No judgement. No sales pitch. Just a real conversation with someone who gets it.
All conversations are completely confidential.
ABOUT YOUR COACH
I almost lied to get a GLP-1 prescription.
I was going to understate my weight and hide my eating disorder history. I understand the pull of these medications because I've felt it. I spent 25 years navigating metabolic health issues, disordered eating, and a medical system that never asked the right questions. I know what it feels like to be at war with your body. I know the fear of weight gain. I know what it's like to have no one who actually understands. I'm a qualified metabolic health coach with specialist training in eating disorders. I work with people on GLP-1 medications because I understand both the metabolic and the psychological side of this. The science and the struggle. And because nobody should have to navigate it alone.
