Before Your Next Injection — GLP-1 & GIP Weight-Loss eBook

The Essential Guide to Safe, Effective GLP-1 and GIP Weight-Loss Treatment
By Dr Bianca Crook

Before Your Next Injection is a doctor-written, illustrated patient guide for adults considering, starting, using or stopping GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 weight-management medicines. It explains what treatment changes, what to expect, which symptoms matter and what to discuss with your healthcare professional. It complements individual medical care and does not replace it.

Who this eBook is for

• People considering or using tirzepatide, semaglutide or liraglutide.
• Patients seeking clearer information about Mounjaro, Wegovy and related medicines.
• Readers dealing with side effects, dose questions, food noise, plateaus, maintenance or weight regain.
• Doctors and clinics seeking a medically referenced patient-education resource.

What you will learn

The book explains obesity biology, hunger, fullness and food noise; how GLP-1 and GIP medicines work; what a sound assessment should include; and why the highest dose is not automatically the best dose. Practical chapters cover nutrition when appetite falls, muscle preservation, constipation, nausea, reflux, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal-pain warning signs.

It also addresses plateaus and non-response, goal weight, pregnancy and fertility, surgery and anaesthesia, acute illness, hair loss, loose skin, supplements, berberine and “natural Ozempic” claims. The final chapters focus on maintenance, treatment withdrawal, returning hunger or food noise, weight recurrence and realistic long-term planning.

Why this guide is different

• Evidence reviewed: medically referenced, with published evidence distinguished from author experience.
• Practical: built around questions patients ask between prescriptions, injections and follow-up visits.
• Care-centred: designed to support informed conversations with the treating clinician.
