In this episode, we speak to Gianna Beasley, RD, the author of her new book, The GLP1 Solution. Her book provides a comprehensive guide to navigating obesity management with GLP-1 medications, extending beyond basic diet and exercise. We chat about Gianna's personal struggles with weight, and the transformative role of GLP-1s in her journey. We will learn practical insights necessary for success by taking a deep dive into nutrition, specific food recommendations for success and the importance of macros (macronutrients). We also chat about movement, physical activity, mental health, grounding, and surprising lifestyle changes that are small, but make a big difference.
We also discuss managing side effects, and alleviating common gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, lethargy, aversion), and the importance of incorporating high quality vitamin supplements, omega-3s, and essential minerals like magnesium. This holistic approach ensures listeners are well-equipped to manage their physical and mental health throughout their GLP-1 journey.

Rosie O’Donnell on Mounjaro: From Then to Now GLP-1 Movement

Today is a Plus SideZ Rewind! Two years ago, we sat down with the one and only Rosie O’Donnell at the dawn of our movement for affordable access to GLP-1 medications & ending the stigma around treating obesity as a disease. Now, as we stand well into season five with thousands of new subscribers, so it’s time for a little time-travel! We’re bringing you a “Rewind” of that pivotal conversation to let our new listeners hear where it all began and let our longtime supporters see just how far we’ve come.
In this flashback, we revisit that summer of 2023 when the Mounjaro $25 Savings Card Coupon was ending and people were flocking to compound GLP-1 which still had a lot of question marks surrounding it. And the shortage of all GLP-1s was growing. There was no Zepbound or cash pay price or branded vials. It was $1400-1000 a month go get access to branded GLP-1s. With more voices in the conversation today, we’re measuring our progress from that. Oh how far we’ve come! We can now get branded GLP-1 for under $500. That’s a ton of movement in a short time. But let’s get it lower!
Keep the faith. Let’s get loud AND change things!
