Risks & Benefits of Using GLP-1s to Optimize Weight Benefits
-
Substantial Weight Loss: Most people lose 15–22% of body weight, often more than with lifestyle alone.
-
Improved Blood Sugar & Cholesterol: Even without diabetes, metabolic markers improve.
-
Reduced Cravings & Appetite: Alters brain chemistry related to hunger.
-
May Lower Risk of Heart Disease: Early data show cardiovascular protection.
-
Better Mobility & Energy: Weight loss improves joint health, stamina, and mood.
Risks & Side Effects
-
GI Issues: Nausea, vomiting, constipation, bloating—especially early on.
-
Muscle Loss: Rapid weight loss can reduce lean mass if not balanced with protein intake and resistance training.
-
Cost & Accessibility: Long-term use may not be sustainable financially.
-
Potential Thyroid Risks: Very rare concerns for medullary thyroid cancer (mainly in rodents).
-
Psychological Effects: Can cause identity shifts, emotional detox, or anxiety around eating patterns.
Final Thought:
GLP-1s are powerful tools, but not magic bullets. They work best when combined with nutrition, movement, and self-understanding. The goal isn’t thinness, its health, agency, and joy in the body you live in. That is our approach here at She-Rises.

Real science. Real support. Real results.
At She Rises, we know weight loss isn't just about the number on the scale.
It's about reclaiming your energy, feeling strong in your body, and building a healthy, sustainable relationship with food.
That’s why our program blends cutting-edge science with deeply personal, woman-centered care.
You’ll feel supported, seen, and guided every step of the way.
Which medication is right for me?
Our program is built around medications that activate two powerful hormones — GLP-1 and GIP — to help:
-
Reduce hunger
-
Stabilize blood sugar
-
Support real fat loss while preserving muscle
These medications work with your body, not against it, so you can see meaningful progress without burnout or extremes.
If you’ve been stuck in cycles of emotional eating, low energy, or stubborn weight, this might be the reset you've been waiting for.
