Read moreWegovy is a once-weekly injection for weight management with a stepwise dose escalation from 0.25 mg to 2.4 mg over about 16 weeks to improve tolerance and minimize side effects. A higher 7.2 mg dose was FDA-approved in early 2026 but is not yet widely available. Proper injection technique, missed dose management, and ongoing clinician supervision are essential.

Poonam Desai’s newsletter sits at the longevity and cardiometabolic edge of the category. It is a good fit for readers who want GLP-1 coverage framed through prevention, side effects, and broader metabolic health rather than through obesity medicine alone. Expect a wellness-forward perspective with enough direct GLP-1 relevance to be useful.

Rami Bailony writes from inside obesity medicine, and that makes the coverage more useful than the publication’s size might suggest.

It is a smaller desk, but a very on-topic one for readers who want specialist perspective with real operating context.

Ragen Chastain’s newsletter is a deliberate counterweight to mainstream obesity and GLP-1 coverage. Readers will find skepticism, anti-stigma arguments, and a very different read on weight-centric care than they get from most medical or business publications. You may not agree with every conclusion, but it is a useful source when you want to test the assumptions driving the rest of the category.
