GLP-1 Diaries

Someone asked a Zepbound community a simple question: what's your strangest food aversion since starting the medication? Over 400 people responded.What came back was a fascinating, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking catalogue of foods that have become intolerable.Lifelong egg lovers who now gag at the sight of them. Coffee addicts who can't finish a cup. A British person who can't drink tea. People buying what one commenter called "aspirational salads" only to throw them out a week later.This episode unpacks the most common aversions, the wildly specific ones, the foods people are relieved to lose, and the ones they genuinely grieve.We also explore the unexpected patterns: accidental sobriety, changed taste perception, texture as a new enemy, and why some people's favourite foods are the first to go.

This episode covers a topic that's generating a lot of discussion in GLP-1 patient communities: Fertility. Specifically, people who had been told they couldn't conceive, who had been through years of trying, multiple rounds of IVF, and repeated loss, reporting unexpected pregnancies after starting glp-1s.

The GLP-1 Diaries is a podcast built from real human conversations in patient forums, exploring the stories, patterns, and questions shaping the GLP-1 era.
