GLP-1 Fatigue: 5 Reasons You’re Exhausted
Fatigue can be one of the most frustrating parts of starting a GLP-1 medication, especially when you expected weight loss to make you feel more energetic. In this video, Laraine Durham of The Downsized shares her own experience with severe fatigue after starting tirzepatide and breaks down five common reasons people may feel exhausted while taking GLP-1 medications like Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, and compounded tirzepatide. She covers what can happen when you are not eating enough, why protein and carbohydrates still matter, how dehydration can affect your energy, why fatigue may increase after a dose change, and when ongoing exhaustion is a reason to check in with your healthcare provider. Laraine also shares the practical habits that helped her, including smaller meals, prioritizing protein, staying hydrated, using electrolytes when appropriate, gentle movement, and giving your body time to adjust. If you are asking, “Why am I so tired on a GLP-1?” or wondering whether your fatigue is normal, this video is designed to help you understand what may be going on and what questions to discuss with your medical provider. Laraine is not a doctor, and this video is not medical advice. Always speak with your healthcare provider about persistent, severe, or worsening side effects.
