On this episode discuss the side effects of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro offering practical strategies to manage these effects while still benefiting from the medications.
• GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) help manage type 2 diabetes, obesity, and can reduce cardiovascular risk
• Most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, and constipation
• "Sulfur burps" are a frequently reported side effect that some manage with Pepto-Bismol
• Start with low doses and increase slowly to minimize side effects
• Eat smaller portions, avoid greasy/spicy foods, and practice mindful eating to reduce GI symptoms
• Stay hydrated and increase fiber intake to prevent constipation
• Gallbladder problems and pancreatitis risk may increase with rapid weight loss
• Some evidence suggests potential vision changes requiring regular eye check-ups
• Medications like insulin or blood pressure drugs may need adjustment when on GLP-1s
• Most side effects improve with time as your body adjusts to the medication
