To address the GLP-1 medication shortage, Ro launched the GLP-1 Supply Tracker to provide patients with real-time insights and alerts on drug availability. To address the ongoing challenges surrounding the shortage of GLP-1 medications, Ro, a direct-to-patient healthcare company, has launched the GLP-1 Supply Tracker, an innovative tool designed to provide patients with real-time insights and automated alerts on GLP-1 drug availability. The GLP-1 shortage - which has impacted access to popular weight loss and MedicGLP Product diabetes management drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic - has left many patients scrambling to find their necessary medications. Ro's new GLP-1 Supply Tracker aims to alleviate this burden by empowering patients with the information they need. Zachariah Reitano, Co-founder and CEO of Ro, in the company’s press release. The GLP-1 Supply Tracker leverages Ro's proprietary, nationwide supply data, user-generated reports, and the latest information from the FDA's Drug Shortage List to provide a comprehensive view of GLP-1 availability. The tool allows patients to report on drug supply and shortages at specific pharmacies, receive automated alerts when supply becomes available in their area, and even submit shortage reports directly to the FDA with just a few clicks. Melynda Barnes, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Ro. In addition to the GLP-1 Supply Tracker, Ro also offers compounded GLP-1 medications to help maintain patients' access to treatment and continuity of care during the shortage of branded GLP-1s. However, experts such as Lydia Alexander, MD, president of the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) and Chief Medical Officer at Enara, argue that the risks of compounded peptide medications make them a dangerous alternative to approved GLP-1 drugs - as they are often produced and sold illegally by unlicensed pharmacies and "bootleggers" taking advantage of drug shortages, potentially containing unknown or dangerous ingredients that could be ineffective or actively harmful to patients.
Your content and information has been a light in the dark to me! Trying to unravel the mystery of hormones has felt impossible until I found your work. I had a few questions on this post if you don’t mind. Do you think PCOS can exist even in the presence of low testosterone? Is it possibly a later stage of PCOS that shows how hormones have simply downregulated due to prolonged problems? Do you find that hirsutism is related to any of these - insulin resistance/leptin resistance/PCOS? Doctors have consistently told me my hirsutism (mainly in the face) is idiopathic. But my labs show hypothyroidism, and based on your work my labs indicate leptin/insulin resistance. This case study is fantastic. It really helps to present this treatment methodology in a convincing way. Hopefully other practitioners will take note. There’s a lot of needless suffering that could be solved with forward thinking doctors like you.
No problem and MedicGLP Product I hope you find it helpful! I have definitely seen multiple cases of patients with signs of androgen excess but with seemingly "normal" DHEA and free/total testosterone levels. I think the majority of these can be explained by checking downstream androgen metabolites like DHT, etc. We generally don’t have a great way of testing for these metabolites (much like estrogen metabolites) but these metabolites have androgenic properties so they are still important. You can check these pathways using advanced tests like DUTCH, but serum levels tend to be less informative. That depends on a number of factors but if the weight loss is solely from the medication then, no, the weight will come back once you stop taking it. I started Taking Victoza and lost 10lbs in two weeks. I also had to stop taking Victoza because I became so sick , I was in the Bathroom at least 30 times a Day and I became so weak I could barley walk.
I followed the dosing on the Pamphlet and once I worked up to the high dose is when things went very bad. I suffer from Hypothyroid Disease and insulin issues and have low T-3. I don’t think I will ever lose the weight now, the Victoza was so Promising at first. There are some tricks to dosing Victoza which help to decrease side effects and increase weight loss just like thyroid hormone. Can you share some of these dosing tricks with Victoza to decrease the side effects and increase weight loss? I searched the information in your Hormone and Weight Loss Mastery Guide, but didn’t find a reference. Dosing and titration information about Victoza and other GLP-1 agonists can be found in the private videos of the program. How!! Same case as her! Please take new patients over zoom! We need your professionalism! I’m a type 2 diabetic… I’m about 30 lbs over weight…
I started victoza a little over a week ago and I have already lost 9lbs… I have no energy I’m so nauseated.. Food doesn’t even sound good..when I do eat it’s something very small and it usually doesn’t settle well… I’m on 1.2 and 500mg of metformin twice a day… I do to feel normal? That’s a tough question to answer in this medium, your symptoms could be due to a host of problems or simply a reaction to the medication. Some nausea is generally ok with victoza but substantial nausea is not. I would take these questions to the provider who prescribed the victoza. Have you found that patients with the MTHFR deficiency react differently to either the Victoza/LDN combo or just LDN? I had a hysterectomy in 1997 at 35 years old. I did bioidentical hormone therapy for years. I began losing my hair and having other issues and my naturopath warned me about MTHFR and bioidentical hormones.
