Mindfulness and GLP-1 — meditation practices for the weight loss journey

Saw this come across my feed today and thought the community would want to discuss.

Mindfulness and GLP-1 meditation practices for is something that affects a lot of us here, and the latest information is worth paying attention to. I'll share what I know and hopefully others can fill in the gaps.

Key points as I understand them:

• This has been evolving over the past few months
• There are different perspectives on how to approach it
• The practical implications depend on your specific situation

What are you all hearing from your providers about this? Anyone have direct experience to share?

maya_sedona's experience with Mindfulness and GLP-1 resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I started 3 months later. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 30 lbs in 5 months.

One thing I would add that maya_sedona did not mention: the mental health improvements were just as significant.

Thanks for sharing this, maya_sedona. A few questions about your Mindfulness and experience:

1. What dose are you currently on?
2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about Mindfulness and?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Mindfulness and GLP-1 .

To answer marco_milano: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.

Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to Mindfulness and GLP-1 — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 243 → 113 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
