About glp1.how

glp1.how is peer information for the GLP-1 era — free, plain-language guides on getting access to GLP-1 medications, advocating for patients, and using them well across nutrition, movement & strength, mental & social health, and supportive health.

glp1.how is the information. glp1.community is the people — real stories, questions, and day-to-day support from others on the same path.

How our articles are made

We are open about our process. Every article goes through the same three-step pipeline:

• Aggregated from published sources. Articles draw on peer-reviewed research, clinical guidelines, regulator and public-health publications, and reputable reporting. The sources behind the site are listed on our evidence index.
• Synthesized with AI. We use AI learning models to help aggregate those sources and synthesize them into plain-language articles that simplify complex topics — so a dense clinical finding becomes something you can actually use.
• Reviewed by people. Editors review articles before they are published and re-review them over time for freshness. Nothing goes live unreviewed, and reader reports and flags feed straight back into that editorial loop.

Structured evidence

Claim-bearing articles carry a For & Against evidence panel: linked sources on each side of a question, labeled by strength — from strong clinical evidence down to community experience — with citations and DOI links where available. We show the evidence rather than asking you to take our word for it.

Community signal and lived experience

Structured evidence is half the picture; the other half is what living with these medications is actually like. Reader signal continuously shapes and corrects the site:

• “Was this helpful?” votes, reactions, and recommendations surface what genuinely helps;
• suggested videos and resources bring in community-vetted material (editor-approved before appearing);
• error reports and one-tap flags — including for medical misinformation — put readers in the quality loop;
• and glp1.community is where the lived-experience conversation happens.

The result each article aims for: structured evidence and real lived-experience perspective, side by side.

What this is not

This is peer information, not medical advice. glp1.how is not a medical resource and no article is a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always talk to your clinician about medication decisions. Read the full disclaimer.
