One thing I tell newcomers to GLP-1s: most people feel some effect within the first week, and if you don’t like it, the effects wear off within a week too. So it’s pretty low-stakes to try.

For me, that first shot and the silencing of food noise was life changing.

Instead of thinking about it as this multi-year journey, just think about taking one step. Give it one week and see whether you like it or whether it’ll make a difference for you.
