Understanding Your GLP & Metabolic Support Options After 40
Whether you’re considering prescription GLP-1 medications, learning about newer GLP-based therapies, or exploring natural metabolic support, understanding how these options work can help you make more informed decisions.
This page is designed to provide educational information about the different approaches available today. Every person’s health goals, medical history, and circumstances are unique, so it’s important to understand the potential benefits and limitations of each option.
My goal isn’t to tell you which choice to make. It’s to help you understand the differences so you can have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider and determine which approach may be right for you.
Understanding the Different
GLP Options
Today’s metabolic health options generally fall into three categories: prescription GLP-1 medications, medications that combine multiple gut hormones, and natural metabolic support. Each approach works differently, offers different benefits, and may be appropriate for different people.
The goal isn’t to determine which option is “best.” The goal is understanding how each approach works so you can make informed decisions with your healthcare provider.

My Personal Experience
With triGLP
Like many people, I first looked at prescription GLP-1 medications. Wegovy® and Ozempic® were simply too expensive for me, with costs ranging from approximately $1,500 to $2,000 per month without insurance coverage.
I then used compounded semaglutide through a licensed provider. While it was more affordable at about $675 per month, it eventually became more than I wanted to spend long-term.
That experience led me to continue researching other ways to support my metabolic health. I ultimately decided to personally use triGLP as part of my daily wellness routine.
For me, triGLP has helped support appetite control with no noticeable side effects while reinforcing the healthy habits I was already building through better nutrition, higher protein intake, regular walking, and strength training. Over approximately 3 to 4 months, I lost more than 25 pounds while following this overall approach.
Everyone’s body and health situation is different. My experience is simply that—my personal experience. It isn’t medical advice or a guarantee of results. My goal is to share what worked for me while encouraging you to work with your healthcare provider to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
