    GLP-1 Stalls, Plateaus & Regain: Why It Happens and What Comes Next

    What happens when a GLP-1 doesn’t work quite like it used to? Kim and Kat sit down with board-certified obesity medicine physician Dr. Lindsay Ogle and Elizabeth Sudegra, RN, founder of GLP-1 Central, for a deeper conversation about the long-term GLP-1 journey. They explore why experiences can change over time, what may be happening biologically, and how the rapidly evolving world of obesity medicine could change what comes next.

    In this episode:

    • GLP-1 weight loss plateaus and weight regain
    • Metabolic adaptation and changes in hunger, cravings and food noise
    • Microdosing, lower dosing and split dosing
    • Switching between GLP-1 medications
    • Nutrition, muscle and optimizing treatment over time
    • The next generation of obesity medications and where treatment may be headed

    In this episode of The Plus SideZ Podcast, Dr. Pat shares his personal experience with obesity, weight stigma, body image and the mental load of constantly thinking about food. After surviving cancer treatment as a child, he developed Cushing’s syndrome and gained significant weight, eventually reaching nearly 300 pounds before focusing on his health and losing more than 100 pounds. Belle

    But weight loss did not erase every part of living with obesity. Dr. Pat talks about why he later chose to use a GLP-1, what changed with his food noise, and how his own experience influences the way he approaches patients today. We also get into GLP-1 plateaus, metabolic adaptation, regain and what may be happening when a medication does not feel as effective as it once did.

    Dr. Taylor is a board-certified family medicine physician, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner and Chief Medical Officer at Belle, with a focus on metabolic health, longevity and women’s health. Belle

    Whether you’re on Medicare yourself or helping someone you love navigate GLP-1 coverage, this episode is worth a listen.

    In Part 2 of our Medicare GLP-1 Bridge conversation, Dee Dee returns to share what happened after our first episode, and Kim’s mom, Debbie, joins to tell her own story of going from denial to approval. They were both forced to go to compound Tirzepatide when Medicare stopped covering their GLP-1 a couple of years ago.

    They walk through the real process of trying to get GLP-1 coverage for obesity, including Medicare Part D, prior authorization, pharmacy rejections, insurance denials, phone calls, paperwork, and the steps that finally moved their approvals forward.

    One of the biggest lessons? A rejection at the pharmacy is not always the same thing as an insurance denial, and understanding where the process is getting stuck can matter.

    This is the patient side of the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, including the twists, confusion, persistence, and lessons Dee Dee and Debbie learned while trying to get covered.

    What does the growing GLP-1 microdosing trend mean for people navigating weight changes in midlife?

    Board-certified OB/GYN and certified menopause provider Dr. Kim Einhorn joins Kim and Kat to explain what microdosing is, why people are trying it, and what we know about its effectiveness and long-term use for patients with and without obesity.

The World Has More GLP-1s but Who Can Afford Them? Part 2This week’s GLP-1 news had us thinking about access. Oral Wegovy launched in Germany, and Hims & Hers expanded its GLP-1 services into Australia. But in the U.S., PepsiCo announced it would cut obesity medication coverage while 600,000 people signed up for the new Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. That is less than 1% of all Medicare beneficiaries, although we still do not know how many were approved or received medication.Four years after Mounjaro launched, are GLP-1s becoming easier to find but harder to get covered? It felt like the right time to revisit this Season 4 conversation with Dr. Michael “Mick” Crotty and Belinda Hogan about GLP-1 access, obesity care and weight bias around the world.In Part 2, we discuss:• Managing daily life and side effects on GLP-1 medication• Why weight loss slows and plateaus happen• How the body’s set point may affect weight• What GLP-1 maintenance really means• Balancing continued weight loss with stabilization• Adjusting treatment for long-term care• What Ireland could learn from the U.S. rollout of GLP-1 medicationsDr. Crotty is a GP, co-founder and clinical lead of My Best Weight in Ireland.

  • BIG NEWS! We Deserve Better. So We Built It. 🧈

    BIG NEWS! We Deserve Better. So We Built It. 🧈
    Sep 4 2026

    I have exciting news!

    After 3 years of this podcast, interviewing obesity medicine experts and hearing from tens of thousands of you, I kept seeing the same gap between getting the prescription and the support we need to actually get to whatever our goal is.

    So my friend, fellow obesity care advocate and now partner, Amanda Bonello and I decided to do something about it.

    We built the Cozy Butter GLP-1 Community.

    It’s a place for live support, expert Q&As, health coaches, cooking classes, tools and resources built from cited sources, and most importantly, real connection with people who understand this journey.

    You can join us for free right now at CozyButter.com.

    Amanda and I built this for you because we believe you deserve better. And you shouldn’t have to figure this out alone.

    Welcome to The Butter Way. 🧈
