GLP-1, in plain language
Clear, clinically reviewed definitions of GLP-1 terms: semaglutide, tirzepatide, titration, maintenance dose, plateau, GI side effects and more.
A glossary of the terms that come up most on a GLP-1 medication, each with a one-sentence definition and a page of context reviewed by a registered dietitian. It covers the medicines and hormones (GLP-1, GIP, incretin, semaglutide, tirzepatide and orforglipron), dosing ideas (titration, maintenance dose, half-life and compounded GLP-1s), side-effect terms (GI side effects, gastric emptying, pancreatitis, injection site and the so-called Ozempic face), nutrition and energy terms (BMR, TDEE and protein) and access terms (prior authorization and savings cards). Each entry links to related terms, trackers and answers.
