Your Quick And Simple GLP-1 Beginner Guide

Starting a GLP-1 like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound can feel overwhelming. Where do you inject? When should you take the shot? How much protein do you actually need? What’s normal when it comes to side effects — and what’s not?

In this beginner-friendly episode, I walk you through everything I wish someone had told me before my first injection.

We cover:

• Shot locations and how to rotate properly

• When to take your weekly dose

• How much protein to eat (and why it matters)

• Common side effects like nausea, constipation, fatigue, migraines — and practical ways to manage them

• How to handle judgment and awkward comments

• When to titrate up or down

• How to know when it’s time to discuss maintenance

• Real-world tips from long-term users

This episode is honest, practical, and grounded in lived experience — not fear, hype, or shame.

Whether you’re holding the pen for the first time or supporting someone who is, this is your realistic starting point.
