Understanding what to expect may help people use these drugs more easily and confidently
Metabolic conditions are very common among people with PCOS, including insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity ( 3 )
So, while there arent any explicitly prescribed GLP-1 foods to avoid, there are some science-backed recommendations for what to eat on tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and semaglutide (Ozempic)
Med spas and physicians have used them on patients, and a growing number of Americans are buying directly from Chinese peptide manufacturers via social media
A longer-acting version of exenatide (weekly), liraglutide (daily), dulaglutide (weekly), and both injectable (weekly) and oral (daily) semaglutide were approved in the coming years
These benefits appear to reflect both improvements in traditional risk factors - weight, blood pressure, lipid profiles, glycemic control - and potentially direct cardioprotective effects mediated by GLP-1 receptors expressed in cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelium
