“Different wellness models suggest various components, but they generally involve at least six: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental health. These things affect your relationship with your body, your mind, the people in your life, and the world around you.”
“Stress can contribute to anxiety, restlessness, memory issues, and a loss of focus. It can fuel destructive behaviors like drug or tobacco misuse or emotional eating, as well as lead to headaches, muscle tension, cardiovascular problems, fatigue, low libido, belly pain, sleep issues, and reduced immune protection.”
“Good sleep improves mood and brain function and reduces the risk of health issues like obesity, heart disease, stroke, and dementia. If you struggle with getting deep, refreshing sleep, speak to a doctor about sleep disorders.”
“Getting regular physical activity, managing stress, eating a good diet, drinking enough water, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding smoking are essential for wellness. Engaging in mindfulness, focusing on the present, maintaining social connections, seeking emotional support, spending time in nature, and practicing gratitude can all promote wellness.”
“Currently, there are no FDA-approved compounded GLP-1s. While the FDA announced in April 2025 that compounding pharmacies must stop creating and distributing copies of GLP-1 drugs, compounding pharmacies can still make new GLP-1 medications that aren’t considered copies of brand-name GLP-1 medications.”
“Studies have found that people taking 2.4 milligrams (mg) of semaglutide lost an average of 27.4 pounds.[ 6] Overall, most people taking semaglutide at doses for weight loss (2.4 mg) can expect to lose 5 to 15 percent of their starting body weight.[”
“Injectable GLP-1s perform mere single-digit percentage points above oral GLP-1 medications in studies measuring weight loss. Users of both types of the medication experienced frequent gastrointestinal upset.[”
““Despite what people see in the media, GLP-1 drugs are not lifelong prescriptions,” says Decotiis. She notes that there are ways for people to taper off GLP-1s and keep the weight off.”
“Vitamin and mineral supplements, protein powders, probiotics, and meal replacements are common nutrition products. Many brands, product types, and retailers exist, so research each product thoroughly to ensure maximum benefit and minimum harm. Read product labels carefully.”
“Vitamin and mineral supplements provide essential nutrients that may be lacking in a person’s diet. However, the best way to get nutrients is from food. Supplements may help if you don’t eat certain foods, have an absorption disorder, or are pregnant.”
“Protein powders can support muscle growth and repair, hormone and enzyme production, and weight loss. However, you may not need protein powders if you eat a sufficient amount of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy.”
“Meal replacement shakes can aid short-term weight management by swapping out full meals for premade, convenient, lower-calorie shakes. While they can be handy and save time, they may lack some of the nutrients you’d find in a healthy, whole-food diet.”
