“The Ozempic Revolution by Dr. Alexandra Sowa is a groundbreaking exploration of GLP-1 receptor agonists, like Ozempic, that have transformed the treatment of obesity and diabetes. Dr. Sowa combines scientific insights with practical advice, making it accessible for both medical professionals and general readers. She delves into the mechanisms of GLP-1, its benefits beyond weight loss, and its implications for overall health. If you’re interested in the intersection of science, health, lifestyle and innovative treatments, this book is a must-read!” -Mary Claire Haver, MD, board certified OBGYN and New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause
The first comprehensive user guide to GLP-1s (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound) with an overview of how they work and possible side effects. Also including companion recipes, exercise guidance, and new habits to maintain lifelong health and keep weight off for good.
The newest class of weight loss drugs (GLP-1s) are complete game-changers in their potential to reverse obesity and its related diseases, with nearly 50% of Americans qualifying for the use of these drugs. Already 1 in 8 Americans say they’ve tried a GLP-1 medication—but with many acquiring their prescription from online pharmacies, med spas, and general practitioners, they face a huge gap between trying the drug and achieving their health goals with it long-term.
That’s where The Ozempic Revolution comes in. Alexandra Sowa, MD, a leading obesity medicine specialist, shares her expertise on this much-discussed but largely misunderstood class of medications, including information like:
What the GLP-1 experience really feels like
How to know if you’re a candidate for these medications
How to get a prescription and get it covered by insurance
How to manage and reduce unwanted side effects
Unique food plans and strategies for managing the mental challenges of losing weight
Simple, easy recipes for when you don’t feel like eating
Traditional and social media has been flooded with junk information and stigmatizing headlines about GLP-1s, and in this book, Dr. Sowa digs into all of it—the good, the bad, and the ugly—bringing the science to light.
If you’re curious about how GLP-1s might fit into your life, or want to optimize your experience while taking them, then Dr. Sowa’s clear-eyed, fully informed approach is a must-read. The Ozempic revolution changes everything: these drugs finally provide a viable, healthy, and sane way to lose weight, avoid disease, and maintain your health gains for life.

Get the FACTS about GLP1s and learn how to THRIVE when taking one!
There is SO much noise, misinformation, conflicting information and shaming and on social media and in the news but this book quiets it all down in a big way. Dr. Sowa explains the science of the diseases of obesity and overweight, the mechanisms behind GLP1 medications and how they affect the body and brain in a way that is easy to understand. She shares the proven method she’s used to educate her patients regarding healthy food choices, habit creation and the mental/emotional development that is necessary for managing symptoms, preserving muscle mass and thriving while on a GLP1 medication. I highly recommend anyone curious or considering a GLP1 journey read this book to be able to advocate for themselves. Dr. Sowa’s passion is to help people become the healthiest, happiest, strongest version of themselves and this book provides a solid foundation to do just that! Thank you Dr. Sowa!

Best resource for those already taking or thinking of using GLP1s
I am in awe of how well this book is written! Contemplating going on a GLP1 (like Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound) yields many questions. Dr. Sowa’s book lays it all out brilliantly — from the science of the medication, to how to be successful with meals, exercise, & overcoming roadblocks. Her practical information showcases her knowledge as an obesity medicine doctor & experience with patients. Whether weight-loss medication is for you or not, this book helps you to make an informed decision. It is a guide for anyone thinking of, already on, or supporting someone on a GLP1.

Much needed valuable resource!
Excellent and much needed resource! As a nurse practicing caring for women in midlife I know first hand how important it is to consider being over weight as a condition. Dr. Sowa breaks down the physiology and mystery of weight and weight management including how GLP-1 agonists make such a difference. This valuable resource is timely and necessary to change stereotypes and biases related to weight management. Highly recommend for my patients and providers.

This is an easy read writen by a very expienced practitioner.
If you are curious about “The Fat Jab” this is a good starting point.
Ozempic is not weight loss drug it more of metabolic improvement drug – that could be used by 85% of the population (if they could afford them).
