Month 3 – Page 3 – The GLP-1 Lab

Why did my GLP-1 stop working?

When a GLP-1 seems to stop working, the usual causes are a normal plateau, adapting appetite or calories that bypass fullness.

Fatigue is a listed reaction on Wegovy and Zepbound, but most of it comes from eating, drinking and sleeping less. Each can be fixed.

A plateau on a GLP-1 is expected: every trial curve flattens in the later months as the body settles at a lower weight.

Appetite usually changes within weeks on a GLP-1, but weight follows the dose schedule. The first month is a starting dose.

Most people on a GLP-1 eat less protein than they need. How much, how to spread it over small meals, and why it protects muscle.

Hair loss on a GLP-1 is usually telogen effluvium: fast weight loss pushes hairs into rest, they shed months later, then grow back.
