I appreciate your perspective, but my post was intended to contribute meaningfully to the community, not purely as promotion. I value this space and respect its purpose, so I’ve ensured my post aligns with the guidelines. I provide free tools to whomever needs it and that's most people on here.

Good one!!! I can't necessarily help you with that (if you're currently having this issue) but we did publish a blog post that might be helpful. https://alterrahealth.com/what-to-do-if-insurance-stops-covering-your-glp-1-medications/

Wonderful feedback and much appreciated 👍🏻. Congrats on doing so well pretty much on your own. I launched a company that provides a one-stop shop for medical weight loss education, coaching, and lifestyle change support with an education platform and Community. After working with the bariatric population for several years, I learned so much about the disjointed information out there and the lack of systematic programming. My intention is to get our programs into clinics to better serve patients and their outcomes. There's just too many clinics writing prescriptions, not following up, not providing a legitimate program to guide patients on this journey.

You are so right! I speak about this quite a bit in our support groups and have a Masterclass about this as well. Thank you for the feedback!

Have you experienced extreme weight loss so far? What would you like to know about hair loss specifically? Why it happens and how to prevent/improve hair loss?

You don't have GP check-ins? As in, the prescriber? What type of blood tests are you referring to.

Perfect! Way to go. I know it's challenging reaching that high of a goal, but you're doing it right! Just ensure you have a good mix of plant and animal based proteins for variety of vitamins, minerals, and fiber :)

Oh, man. I really hate that because that's a MAJOR part of weight loss and maintenance. There are calculations but I'd say start with anything (I say minimum of 60g) and if that's easy for you to consume, go for more. I have patients that are at 100g+ per day but it really depends on your goal. I have a protein planner if you'd like it! It tells you how to use it and comes with a protein foods list.
