Maybe you\u2019ve even watched someone else say they lost 20 pounds in two months and wondered, \u201cWhy isn\u2019t this working for me?\u201d If you\u2019ve been asking yourself that question, I want you to know that your experience with a GLP-1 medication may look very different from someone else\u2019s. In this episode, I\u2019m breaking down four reasons you may not be losing as much weight as you expected on a GLP-1, and what I look at when a patient tells me their medication isn\u2019t working. I\u2019ll also talk about something that can easily get lost when we compare our weight loss journey to what we see on social media. Before you decide that your GLP-1 has failed, there are some important questions to consider. Your dose, your overall health habits, your nutrition, and your treatment plan can all be part of the bigger picture. If you\u2019re frustrated by slow weight loss on a GLP-1, listen to this episode before you assume you\u2019re doing something wrong. Episode Highlights: Why your weight loss may not look like someone else's, even when you're taking the same type of medication What I look at when a patient feels their GLP-1 isn't working When your dose may be part of the picture Why nutrition and lifestyle still matter during GLP-1 treatment A question you may not expect to ask when your appetite has changed When it may be time to reassess your treatment plan Why comparing your progress to someone on social media can be misleading The mindset I want you to have when your weight loss isn't moving as quickly as you hoped Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com\/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com\/in\/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.
