#945: GLP-1 Done Wrong vs Done Right

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and emerging GLP-3 drugs are changing weight loss and metabolic health — but what happens when side effects start showing up?
In this episode, Liz & Becca break down the real causes behind common GLP-1 side effects including digestive issues, diarrhea, constipation, sleep disruption, blood sugar crashes, body odor changes, microbiome shifts, bile flow dysfunction, and detox overload.
You’ll learn why GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, how they impact bile flow and estrogen clearance, why some people experience microbiome imbalance or SIBO-like symptoms, and how foundational health (liver, gut, electrolytes, protein intake, muscle mass) determines whether GLP-1 works for you or against you.
If you’re using GLP-1s, considering them, or struggling with side effects — this episode gives you a functional medicine roadmap for safer, smarter use.
