The study looked at data from Epic Cosmos electronic health records, which is representative of more than 300 million patients across the U.S. as of January 2026.

Some points:

35.1% had a normal BMI at the time of the prescription.

Median BMI was 25.9, compared with 24.5 among adults in the same pool who did not receive a GLP

85.5% were women and 60% were White; 78% had private insurance.

A documented eating-disorder history was six times more common (1.8% versus 0.3%).

Drugs were liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, identified by ingredient, not brand.

With a lot of weight loss comes a lot of change we can’t see. A lot of questions get posted about what supplements people should take. Now you know what you need to supplement.

I’ve been wanting to get mine done and was checking a bunch of sites. I came across Dirt Cheap Labs and they were simply unbeatable in price.

Made an order last night and got them done this morning. They have a sale until tonight. The order can be used in the next 12 months.

What is everyone’s thoughts on another round of sales for BPI from Black Friday into the new year? I believe the last BUDs for BPI will be 2/27-3/27.

I think the biggest factor will be how well it sells for the remainder of the year. It seems a few telehealths went all in. There could be some flash sales. Worth setting aside a little extra cash for?

EDIT--my wife is going to kill me if I spend all friday night responding to DMs, but I will get up early saturday morning to respond!. We won't leave anyone out because my wife wanted to have a friday night date!

EDIT 2--Just to clarify and speed things: our medical team will require a prior prescription confirmation, so if you can upload during the intake or message us via the messenger widget in the process, that would speed things along, so we don't have to reach out to you. --Thank you. I will make sure I respond to all DMs today; I have 5 kids and its a saturday, so....:)

_______________________

I spent most of my life convinced I did everything myself. I didn't.

My brother Mike has had a huge and unacknowledged role in my life.

Tirzepatide has recently changed his life. He started tirzepatide partially because I took a flyer on a job with a GLP-1 telehealth company.

My brother did the hard work for the past 9 months and lost over 90 pounds. The medicine gave him a fair shot.

The older I get, the more I see how he got me through way more than I ever gave him credit for. Nobody gets where they are alone. We get there because someone gave us access at the right moment. A fair shot, not a shortcut. You still do the work, but first the door has to open. We so often forget that those early doors were open to us when they are closed to others. I wrote more about my family story on our homepage.

Took me almost 46 years to learn that.

That is why this next part matters to me.

I have worked in operations and systems in the telehealth space for the past 2 years. It's hard and systems break. Companies are upgrading their systems to better give access, but it never goes as smooth as you want or need it to go.

Messages get lost, orders get delayed, errors in the pharmacy API system, a shipment doesn't show, and you miss a dose. That matters to a lot of people. The progress you have made, you don't want that to slide back. It is scary. I see the panicked messages. Seeing over 2k messages a week is informative and eye-opening.

So if you are stuck and about to miss a dose: if you genuinely can't get it filled, we will bridge you. We cover the medicine. You pay only shipping and processing, about $50. No catch. We are fast, 24 hours turnaround and 2 business days shipping, about 3-4 business days total, if that's in your timeline, reach out to me.

To be clear, this is a one-month bridge to get you across the gap, not a way to stock up.

The moment your own provider is back on track, go back to them. Currently, we only have 2 buttons in our portal, you can't miss the cancel and pause buttons!

We love some of the companies who are struggling with their transitions right now. (We will be that company someday, I promise).

We are not trying to take you from anyone. We just don't want a broken system to cost you your progress.

Reach out directly and I will give you a code to get you access. I trust in the honesty of people.
