Obesity is a chronic condition, but weight regain after GLP-1 cessation is not mandatory. Explore clinical protocols including dose tapering, biweekly spacing, and the 'Muscle Preservation' strategy. Featuring real-world data from Epic Research and the S-LiTE trial for long-term metabolic stability.

Starting a GLP-1 medication like Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) is an exciting step toward better metabolic health. However, the first day or two after your weekly injection can sometimes feel like a hurdle. Instead of waiting for these symptoms to strike, you can adopt a proactive "Injection Day Protocol" to mitigate them. By adjusting your nutrition, hydration, and routine for just 48 hours, you can significantly improve your comfort and consistency.

While famous for weight loss, the true superpower of GLP-1 medications may lie in their ability to fight chronic inflammation and slow biological aging through 'microdosing.' This emerging protocol uses a fraction of the standard dose to unlock neuroprotective and cardiovascular benefits without the side effects. Dive into my latest post to understand the science behind this longevity frontier and what it could mean for your healthspan.

GLP-1 medications are a powerful tool for weight management, but the way you begin treatment is as critical as the dose itself. At Silence Medical, PLLC, we use a slow, structured, step-by-step approach called titration to increase your medication dose. This method is the safest way to ensure your body adapts and maximizes your chances for long-term success.

When patients reduce calories, they risk losing the muscle mass essential for metabolism and long-term health. The data shows 85% of us miscalculate food portions, making this risk even higher for those on weight loss plans (like GLP-1 therapy).

We need accuracy without the hassle of a food scale.

Are you worried GLP-1s will ruin your metabolism? Learn the truth behind this myth. Lets debunk the science and review tips on how to protect muscle and boost metabolism during your weight loss journey.

GLP-1 meds slow digestion, causing constipation and nausea. Discover the 30/30 Water Rule for better hydration, comfort, and gut health.

Starting a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy or Mounjaro can be a powerful tool for weight and metabolic health, but reduced appetite and digestive changes may affect your nutrition. The right supplements can help protect muscle, support digestion, and fill nutrient gaps. Here are the top evidence-based supplements to consider while on your GLP-1 journey.

If you are in perimenopause or menopause, you may have noticed that managing your weight has become more challenging. The approaches that once worked, like your diet and exercise routine, might not be as effective now. This is not your fault.

If you're using GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide for weight loss, or you're in a calorie deficit for any reason, protein becomes one of the most important nutrients in your day. But not all protein sources are created equal—some are packed with extra fat and calories that can work against your goals. To help you make smarter choices quickly, here's a simple label-reading trick I teach my patients: The “Add-a-Zero” Protein Rule.

In our busy lives, it's easy to overlook a crucial nutrient that can profoundly impact our health: fiber. Often hailed for its role in keeping us "regular," dietary fiber offers a wealth of benefits that extend far beyond digestive health that is especially important while taking GLP-1 medications.

GLP-1 medications (like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide) are powerful tools for managing weight and blood sugar—but they can sometimes lead to loss of lean muscle mass along with fat loss. This is where creatine can help.
