If you’re struggling with fatigue, low motivation, or brain fog while on GLP-1 agonists like tirzepatide or retatrutide, you are NOT alone! I get asked about “GLP-1 fatigue” constantly, and in this video, I dive deep into why so many people experience tiredness on these meds, the science behind it, and—most importantly—what you can do to overcome it and get your energy back.
I cover everything from calorie restriction and dehydration to hormone and mitochondrial slowdown, and even the toxic load released during rapid fat loss. Whether you’re new to GLP-1s or have hit an energy wall, this is the comprehensive review you need!
