If you’re on a GLP-1 and not getting the results everyone else is talking about, this episode is for you.

Today we’re breaking down the future of obesity and metabolic care: NuSH (nutrient-stimulated hormone therapy) and OMM (obesity management medications) the next era of treatment for chronic obesity and metabolic health.

I walk through my own story of being a true “non-responder” to Ozempic and Trulicity, and how everything changed when I finally found the right mechanism with Mounjaro. And then we zoom out into what’s coming next: multi-hormone therapies, triple agonists, amylin-based options, oral OMM meds, and the new brain-targeted treatments designed to help people whose bodies simply didn’t click with current medications.

We also talk about the real-world side of all this; insurance cuts, AI-driven prior auth denials, employer carve-outs, compounding, telehealth access, and the shift toward treating obesity as a true chronic metabolic disease.

If you’re feeling discouraged, stuck, or scared your medication isn’t working… you are not broken. You might just be early in the story. And the next chapter of GLP-1 and OMM care is being built for people exactly like you.

This cozy little bonus episode is your pre-holiday reality check The gentle, grounding reminder you need before walking into the loudest food + family day of the year.

Inside this episode, we break down:

• Why skipping your GLP-1 this week is not the move
• How to enjoy Thanksgiving without guilt, shame, or “performing hunger”
• Exactly what to say when family comments on your body, your plate, or your medication
• How to manage appetite changes, full-faster moments, nausea, and holiday food noise
• What to do if stress or old triggers flare up
• How to protect your energy and maintain your peace through the chaos

This isn’t a strict “how to behave on Thanksgiving” guide.

This is about you…your healing, your boundaries, your progress, and your nervous system.

One dose doesn’t define your journey, one plate doesn’t define your worth, and one holiday doesn’t get to undo your peace.

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.

Why do diets fail, but GLP‑1 works? In plain English: diets fight your biology; GLP‑1 works with it. Lets break down set‑point “thermostats,” food noise, and what actually changes when hunger finally quiets. No shame, no fairytales...just a clear path to sustainable habits, a steadier brain, and a life you can actually live.

Hi, I’m Carrie and welcome back to The Elevated Dose Podcast.

This week’s episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded. It’s the story of what happens after the breakthrough; when the medication works, the numbers normalize, and yet your body still whispers that something isn’t finished.

I pick up right where Episode 1 left off, June 2022 the day I took my very first Ozempic injection thinking, this might finally be it. What follows is three years of trying, failing, healing, and learning what “better” really means.

For me, The Shift isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about what happens when you finally reach the goal you dreamed of and realize there’s still more to uncover underneath.

In this episode, I talk about:

• My full year on Ozempic at 0.25–0.5 mg

• The Trulicity year that came after

• The June 2024 switch to Mounjaro

• The August 2024 MASH diagnosis

• The September 2025 fibromyalgia diagnosis

This episode is raw and honest because as much as GLP-1s changed my life, they didn’t fix everything.

And learning to accept that truth has been its own form of healing.

In Episode 1: The Breaking Point, I share my decades-long struggle with weight, health, and the medical system. From my first diet at 12 to a heart attack and triple bypass at 28, a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis at 35, and a 75-pound Weight Watchers 'success' that unraveled during the pandemic, this episode tells it all. It ends in June 2022, when I took first Ozempic shot and chose hope again.
