Episode 4 Real Talk: Side Effects No One Tells You About


Listen Later

f you’ve ever sat there on your GLP-1 wondering, “Is this normal?” this episode is your new safe space.

We’re breaking down the side effects people actually experience on GLP-1 medications…the messy, the confusing, the scary, and the secretly amazing.


This is the episode I wish I had at the beginning of my journey.

• Sulfur burps: why they happen and how to calm them

• Bathroom chaos: diarrhea, constipation, and the gut slowdown nobody warns you about

• Headaches, neck pain & weird muscle aches: hydration + posture shifts explained

• Fatigue & energy crashes: appetite suppression vs. fueling suppression

• Dizziness & blood sugar dips: what’s actually happening and how to stay safe

• Hair loss: the real cause (hint: it’s NOT the medication)

• Hormonal and skin changes: the “we don’t talk about it” category

• The positive side effects: better cholesterol, calmer compulsive habits, inflammation reduction, improved skin


This isn’t about scaring you, it’s about giving you clarity so you can stop second-guessing every symptom.
