Honest answers first

Is this site medical advice?

No. Everything here is general education. Decisions about prescription medicines belong to you and your own licensed clinician, who knows your history.

Do you sell GLP-1 medication?

No. This site sells nothing and dispenses nothing. We link to a telehealth programme readers can research; any prescription decision is made by its licensed clinicians after an evaluation.

Why do you avoid promising results?

Because honest education does not come with amounts or timelines attached. Individual experiences vary widely, and any page that promises you a specific outcome is marketing, not information.

How is this site funded?

Through affiliate links, disclosed on our disclosure page and next to the links themselves. If you sign up through a link here, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Exploring your options from home?

Some readers of Strong Habits Journal prefer to research an online route. The programme we link to is the GoByMeds GLP-1 program: licensed clinicians evaluate first, and no prescription is promised to anyone. Whatever you decide, loop your own doctor in - two informed prescribers beat one uninformed one.
