People Say GLP-1s Are Wrecking Their Careers in Weird Ways
Yahoo Entertainment, drawing on interviews by Women's Health, reports that people in theatre and film are adapting to GLP-1 use among performers. A Broadway vocal coach says she has seen dry mouth, nausea, reflux and fatigue; a caterer notes smaller, protein-heavy meal choices. These are anecdotal accounts.

Why it matters: Relevant to Maryland adults weighing GLP-1 weight-loss medication and to clinicians who discuss commonly reported side effects such as nausea and fatigue with patients.
