Mood changes on mental health: I want to be transparent — I went through a rough patch emotionally around month 4. Not depression exactly, but a weird flatness. Food was my main coping mechanism and without that, I had to develop new ones.
Therapy has been essential. I'd strongly recommend anyone starting GLP-1 therapy also invest in mental health support. The physical transformation is only half the journey.

Positive side effects of mental health that surprised me:
- Clearer skin — inflammation reduction improved my rosacea
- Better sleep — weight loss resolved mild sleep apnea
- Improved libido — better body image + improved cardiovascular health
- Less joint pain — obvious mechanical benefit
- More energy — metabolic improvements across the board
Not everything about GLP-1 therapy is a struggle. There are genuinely wonderful changes too. ✨

Agreed, and one caution: a single measurement is not a measurement. Anything that moves day to day needs a trend before it means anything at all.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. I will report back once I have actually tried it.
