Research
Grouped by the question, not the date.
A reverse-chronological list is a poor way to read a library. These are the 11 questions the 171 articles here actually answer, and every article sits under exactly one of them.
Compounded GLP-1s: the rules, and what is in the vial
What compounding is, which federal permission it ran on, what closed, and what a compounded vial actually contains compared with an approved pen.
Checking a seller before you buy
The public records that let you verify an online GLP-1 seller: state board licenses, FDA's outsourcing register, warning letters, and invented FDA categories.
What it costs, and who pays
How a GLP-1 price is assembled, why the advertised figure is rarely the standing one, and what manufacturer free-drug programs and Medicaid cover.
Safety and side effects, separated from the headlines
What the approved labels warn about, what the trials counted, and where the two differ: thyroid, eye, pancreatitis, gallbladder, hair and lean mass.
Peptides: what the evidence shows
The peptides sold beside GLP-1s, one at a time: what was tested in people, what was only tested in mice, and where FDA has landed on compounding each one.
The next obesity drugs, and what their trials showed
Retatrutide, mazdutide, cagrilintide, survodutide, pemvidutide, MariTide, amycretin and the oral pills: trial results, approval status and how to join a trial.
Taking a GLP-1 with other medicines
What the labels say about combining semaglutide or tirzepatide with metformin, statins, blood thinners, phentermine, stimulants, antidepressants and alcohol.
Body changes and sexual health on a GLP-1
What semaglutide and tirzepatide do, and do not do, to sex drive, erections, periods, breasts, hands and feet, and how side effects differ for women and men.
GLP-1s, longevity and anti-aging claims
Whether semaglutide, tirzepatide, metformin or NAD+ make anyone live longer: all-cause death results, aging-clock studies, and what has never been measured.
Weight-loss supplements and diet trends: what the trials show
Garcinia, green tea extract, CLA, raspberry ketones, spirulina, Akkermansia, the pink salt trick and low-FODMAP: what trials found, and what none did.
Weight-loss gadgets and wellness trends
Glucose monitors without diabetes, breath trackers, red-light fat lasers and saunas: what each measures, what FDA cleared it for, and whether trials show help.
