Here’s how we are managing the FDA’s recent communication and how you can transition to these other effective and affordable options.
What’s Happening with Tirzepatide?
The FDA has issued a letter on the availability of compounded tirzepatide injections. As a result, compounded tirzepatide injections will soon no longer be available. ShedRx has always been aware of this outcome and has been vigorously preparing alternative programs and medications to ensure a smooth transition for you.

Schedule a follow-up visit with a licensed provider from your Patient Portal. Navigate to the “Schedule” tab along the top menu and book a time to discuss a program change, OR
Reach out to the Care Team by emailing support@shedrx.com or texting them at 833-658-7433 to request a program change.
FAQs:
Why is tirzepatide being phased out?
The FDA has updated guidelines which impact the availability of compounded tirzepatide. All companies that currently offer compounded tirzepatide are being required to phase out the availability of the drug to their consumers.
Will I still get results with other options?
Yes! Tirzepatide Liquid Drops are compounded using SubMagna™. This ensures that tirzepatide retains its efficacy when compounded in this liquid vehicle.
How long do I have to make the switch?
We will continue to offer compounded tirzepatide injections until March 19, 2025. Leading up to that date, you will be prompted by our team to make a decision about what your preferred new method of treatment will be following March 19.

The holidays are a time of joy and celebration, but they can also bring extra demands on our time and energy. With the busy social events, festive meals, and family gatherings, it’s natural for routines to be tested. If you’re on a GLP-1 weight-loss journey, it can feel especially challenging to prioritize workouts, healthy meals, and consistency with your goals. The fun of the season combined with the allure of delicious holiday treats may make it feel like staying on track requires extra effort.
Here’s the good news: With a little planning and creativity, you don’t have to let the holiday bustle throw you off course. It’s absolutely possible to embrace the holidays while staying aligned with your goals. Here are some tips to help you enjoy the season without compromising your progress:
1. Incorporate Movement Throughout the Day
You don’t need to carve out hours at the gym each day to stay active during the holidays. Try splitting up your movement—morning stretches, a walk at lunch, and some light yoga in the evening can do wonders. Even if you’re on a tight schedule, simple steps like taking the stairs instead of the elevator can add up quickly. Movement is about consistency, not duration, so make it a habit that fits naturally into your day.
Quick Tip: Set a timer every couple of hours to remind yourself to take a 5-minute break and move your body, whether it’s a quick walk or some light stretching!
2. Meal Prep Like a Pro
Holiday meals and treats can quickly throw off your healthy eating, but a little preparation can make all the difference. Dedicate some time each week to prepare your meals so healthy options are always within arm’s reach. Stock up on grab-and-go snacks like chopped veggies, boiled eggs, or protein shakes to resist temptation when hunger strikes. When nutritious food is ready to grab, you’re less likely to fall into the trap of unhealthy choices.
Quick Tip: Block off an hour on Sundays to batch-cook your meals and snacks and organize them in individual containers. That way, you can enjoy nutritious meals without scrambling during the week!
3. Prioritize Protein
Feeling full and satisfied makes it easier to avoid overindulging in holiday sweets. Make protein a priority in every meal and snack which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and keeps cravings in check. Whether it’s a turkey lettuce wrap, a protein shake, or a grilled chicken salad, protein should take center stage in your holiday meals to help you feel satisfied and energized throughout the day.
Quick Tip: Pack a handful of protein-rich snacks like roasted chickpeas or a protein bar in your bag to keep hunger at bay and stay on track.
4. Create Small Rituals to Stay Grounded
Even in the excitement of the holidays, creating small rituals can help you stay focused on your goals. Whether it’s a 5-minute morning meditation or an evening stretching routine, these rituals serve as reminders of what’s important. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing or stretching can reset your energy, making it easier to stay on track with your wellness goals.
Quick Tip: Set a daily alarm for a 3-minute “wellness break” to give your mind and body the attention it needs.
You don’t have to let the holiday business ruin your progress. It’s totally possible to celebrate while staying on track with your goals.
5. Hydrate with Purpose
Holiday beverages like hot chocolate, eggnog, and festive cocktails can sneak extra calories and sugar into your diet. Make sure you’re staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Alternating between your holiday drinks and water will help balance out the extra sugar and keep your energy steady. Hydration is key to maintaining focus, reducing cravings, and supporting overall wellness.
Quick Tip: Carry a reusable water bottle with you everywhere you go and drink a full glass of water before indulging in any holiday beverages.
6. Get Creative with Healthier Versions of Treats
Indulging in holiday treats doesn’t mean you have to derail your progress. There are plenty of healthy alternatives that can satisfy your sweet tooth. Try baking cookies with almond flour or using natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a lower-carb dessert. Look for ways to make your favorite holiday treats work for your health goals, without feeling deprived.
Quick Tip: Make your holiday desserts using ingredients like almond flour or coconut flour to create delicious, lower-carb alternatives that taste just as festive!
7. Stay Engaged with Your Support Circle
Having a support system during the holidays is a game changer. Connect with a friend, family member, or health coach who understands your health journey. Whether it’s through text messages, social media check-ins, or meal-sharing ideas, staying connected will keep you motivated to stay on track, even when things get busy.
Quick Tip: Schedule weekly check-ins with your accountability buddy to share victories and challenges, keeping the holiday joy front and center.
8. Practice Self-Compassion
The holidays are meant to be a time of joy, not perfection. There will be moments when things don’t go as planned, whether it’s skipping a workout or indulging in an extra cookie. Instead of feeling guilty, remember your journey is about progress, not perfection. Embrace the holidays with grace and focus on getting back on track with your next meal or movement.
Quick Tip: If you miss a workout or indulge a little too much, don’t stress. Get back to your healthy habits with your next meal. Balance, not perfection, is key!
The holiday season is all about balance and celebrating the memories you make. With small, intentional choices, you can enjoy everything this season has to offer while staying connected to your goals. Remember, it’s your journey, so make the holidays work for you. Here’s to a balanced, joyful season and a bright, strong year ahead!
Whether you’re toasting to loved ones, health, Christmas, or simply to living another year, the holidays allow for a special season of celebration. While it’s great to celebrate, it may seem intimidating to harness your health progress amidst the wining and dining. This doesn’t mean you need to remove yourself from the fun with friends and family, though. We’ve concocted some delicious drink ideas for you to enjoy throughout the holidays and all-year long.

The holiday season is a time for celebration, indulgence, and, of course, food! From lavish spreads at family dinners to the endless array of festive treats, it’s easy to overdo it on sugar, fats, and calories. However, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor or your health goals. With a few simple food swaps, you can enjoy all the deliciousness of the season while keeping things a little lighter and healthier.
Here are some smart swaps to help you navigate the holiday season with balance without missing out on the joy of great food.
1. Trade Creamy Dips for Greek Yogurt-Based Dips
Creamy dips like ranch or sour cream-based dips are a staple at holiday parties, but they can be high in fat and calories. A simple swap is to use plain Greek yogurt as a base instead. Greek yogurt is rich in protein and has a creamy texture, making it an ideal base for savory dips. Add herbs like dill, chives, or garlic, and you’ve got a delicious, healthier alternative that’s just as satisfying and more filling.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional dip: Ranch or sour cream-based dips
Healthy swap: Greek yogurt dip with herbs, lemon juice, and a touch of olive oil
2. Use Cauliflower Instead of Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are a beloved holiday classic, but they’re often made with a lot of butter and cream, making them heavy on calories and carbs. Cauliflower is a fantastic low-carb alternative that still gives you that smooth, creamy texture. You can steam or roast cauliflower and mash it with a bit of garlic, olive oil, and low-fat milk or chicken broth for a lighter version that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional side: Mashed potatoes
Healthy swap: Mashed cauliflower with garlic and olive oil
3. Swap Sugar with Natural Sweeteners
Many holiday desserts are loaded with refined sugars which can quickly add up in terms of empty calories. To make your favorite holiday sweets a bit healthier, consider swapping out refined sugars with natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, honey, or maple syrup. These alternatives often have a lower glycemic index and can provide a more subtle sweetness while better maintaining blood sugar levels.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional sweetener: Refined white sugar
Healthy swap: Stevia, monk fruit, honey, or pure maple syrup (in moderation)
Whole-grain and gluten-free bread options provide valuable nutrients and are a good healthy swap option for regular bread.
4. Replace Regular Bread with Whole Grain or Gluten-Free Options
Stuffing is a traditional holiday dish, but it’s typically made with white bread which lacks fiber and nutrients. Opting for whole-grain bread, or even better, a gluten-free bread option, can give you more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You can also add extra veggies or even nuts and seeds to your stuffing to up the nutrition factor without sacrificing taste.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional stuffing: Made with white bread
Healthy swap: Whole grain or gluten-free bread-based stuffing with added veggies like mushrooms, carrots, and celery
5. Choose Dark Chocolate Over Milk Chocolate
The holidays are known for festive chocolates, but they can be loaded with added sugars and fats. Dark chocolate is a healthier alternative, because it’s lower in sugar and contains antioxidants, especially if you choose varieties with 70% cocoa or higher. Whether you’re making desserts or enjoying a piece on its own, dark chocolate can satisfy your sweet tooth guilt-free.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional chocolate: Milk chocolate
Healthy swap: Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
6. Lighten Up Your Drinks
Holiday drinks can be a major source of empty calories, from sugary eggnog to creamy cocktails. Instead of heavy, high-calorie beverages, consider lighter versions. For example, swap regular eggnog with a lighter, low-fat version or make your own using almond milk and a dash of cinnamon. You can also go for sparkling water with a splash of fresh fruit juice for a refreshing, low-calorie option.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional drink: Full-fat eggnog or sugary cocktails
Healthy swap: Low-fat eggnog or sparkling water with fresh juice and herbs like mint or rosemary
7. Switch Heavy Gravies for Lighter Sauces
Gravy is often poured generously over holiday meals, but it’s typically made with heavy cream and butter, adding unnecessary calories. A healthier alternative is to make a lighter gravy using turkey or vegetable broth and thicken it with a small amount of whole wheat flour or cornstarch. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage for added flavor without the extra fat.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional gravy: Made with cream and butter
Healthy swap: Turkey or vegetable broth-based gravy with herbs
Forego the calorie-dense cocktails and opt for lighter options like sparkling water to help feel more healthy refreshed.
8. Snack on Nuts and Dried Fruit Instead of Chips and Sweets
The holiday season is filled with a tempting array of snack foods, often in the form of salty chips and sugary treats. Instead of reaching for those, try keeping a bowl of unsalted mixed nuts and dried fruit on hand. Nuts are rich in healthy fats, fiber, and protein, while dried fruit like unsweetened cranberries or apricots can satisfy your sweet cravings without all the added sugars. Just be mindful of portion sizes, as nuts and dried fruit can be calorie-dense.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional snack: Chips or candy
Healthy swap: A handful of mixed nuts and dried fruit
9. Swap White Flour with Almond or Coconut Flour
For holiday baking, white flour is often the go-to ingredient, but it’s low in nutrients and high in carbs. Instead, try using almond flour or coconut flour in your favorite recipes. Both options are gluten-free, higher in fiber, and provide more protein. They’re perfect for cookies, cakes, and even savory holiday breads.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional flour: White all-purpose flour
Healthy swap: Almond flour or coconut flour
10. Opt for Roasted Vegetables Instead of Casseroles
Holiday casseroles are delicious, but often made with creamy soups and cheeses that add extra fat and calories. Instead of a casserole, roast a variety of colorful vegetables—think Brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potatoes, and parsnips—with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roasting caramelizes the natural sugars in the veggies, making them taste sweet and savory without needing heavy sauces.
Swap Suggestion:
Traditional dish: Creamy vegetable casseroles
Healthy swap: Roasted root vegetables
Holiday Eats, Reimagined
The holidays don’t have to be about indulgence at the expense of your health. By making small, but impactful swaps, you can enjoy all the flavors of the season with fewer calories, less sugar, and more nutrients. Plus, these healthy alternatives can help you feel energized, satisfied, and ready to embrace all the festivities, without feeling sluggish or overstuffed.
So go ahead, celebrate, and savor the season’s offerings—just with a healthier twist. Wishing you happy and healthy holidays!
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Liquid Drops just dropped along with a discount! Never heard of them? Heard of them, but don’t know much? Let’s go over everything you need to know:
What are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Liquid Drops?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Liquid Drops are a medication that belongs to the GLP-1 receptor agonist class and have the same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy. The medication works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone—a hormone that occurs naturally. The major difference? They’re taken orally. This helps to regulate blood sugar levels and appetite, potentially providing weight-loss benefits. In conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Liquid Drops can aid in successful weight loss.
How Do Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Liquid Drops Help with Weight Loss?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Liquid Drops help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness. These influences can help with weight loss, since eating less may become natural with medication. The following tells more about how the medication can help with weight loss:
Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide influence the brain’s hunger and satiety centers so you feel less hungry and more satisfied after eating.
Slows Digestion: The medication can slow down the rate at which your stomach empties, helping you feel fuller for longer and helping your food intake to be more energizing.
Insulin Sensitivity: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can enhance insulin sensitivity, making it easier for your body to utilize glucose effectively.

The holiday season is synonymous with indulgence—rich foods, decadent desserts, and festive cocktails. While there’s nothing wrong with enjoying these treats in moderation, it’s easy to go overboard and find ourselves feeling sluggish or out of balance by the end of the season. However, you don’t have to sacrifice your health or feel guilty about your holiday eating choices. With a little planning and some smart nutrition decisions, you can enjoy the flavors of the season while still nourishing your body.
Here are some practical tips for incorporating more nutrient-dense foods into your holiday celebrations:
1. Balance Your Plate with Vegetables
The holidays often bring an abundance of heavy foods, but vegetables are a great way to balance out your plate and add nutrients. Leafy greens like kale, spinach, and arugula are high in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Consider making a festive salad with seasonal produce, such as roasted root vegetables (sweet potatoes, beets, and carrots) or Brussels sprouts tossed with olive oil and herbs. A veggie-packed side dish or salad can help fill you up with fewer calories, allowing you to enjoy other treats without overdoing it.
Tip: Add a variety of colorful veggies to your holiday table to ensure you’re getting a wide range of nutrients. Try roasted Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or a winter squash soup to warm up the table (and your belly).
2. Incorporate Healthy Fats
Healthy fats, like those found in avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish, are essential for heart health and brain function. They can also keep you feeling satisfied for longer periods, helping to curb overeating. You can include these nutrient-dense fats in your holiday meals by adding a handful of nuts to salads, using avocado in spreads or dips, or choosing salmon or other fatty fish for your main dish.
For example, you could swap out traditional mashed potatoes for a creamy avocado mashed cauliflower or add nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to roasted sweet potatoes for a flavorful, nutrient-packed dish.
Tip: If you’re baking holiday treats, consider swapping out butter for healthier fats like coconut oil or ghee. These options contain beneficial fatty acids and can enhance the flavor of your baked goods.
Sugary sweets seem to surround us during the holiday season. Make sure to fill up on whole food options. Try incorporating naturally-sweetened food like fruits to satisfy cravings.
3. Choose Whole Grains Over Refined Ones
During the holidays, we often indulge in refined grains like white bread, pastries, and stuffing. While delicious, these foods can spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling lethargic. Instead, opt for whole grains like quinoa, farro, bulgur, or wild rice. These grains are rich in fiber, B vitamins, and minerals like iron and magnesium, which help keep energy levels steady, so you can give it your all at Christmas karaoke.
Whole grains also add a nice nutty flavor to dishes and pair beautifully with seasonal ingredients. You could try a whole grain stuffing made with quinoa and roasted veggies or serve a wild rice pilaf with cranberries and nuts.
Tip: Make your holiday casseroles or side dishes with whole grains like brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice or white bread crumbs for added nutrition.
4. Watch Your Sugar Intake
With Sugar-Plum Fairies dancing around this time of year, it’s easy to go overboard with sugary treats like pies, cakes, and cookies. While a little sweetness can make the season special, overconsumption of sugar can lead to energy crashes, weight gain, and even mood swings. Instead of filling up on processed sweets, try satisfying your sweet tooth with naturally sweet options like fruit.
Baked apples, pears with cinnamon, or a fruit salad with pomegranate seeds and a squeeze of fresh lime juice are all delicious and nutrient-rich alternatives to traditional sugary desserts. If you’re craving something richer, try making a healthier version of your favorite dessert by using natural sweeteners like maple syrup or dates and reducing the overall sugar content.
Tip: For a healthier holiday dessert, swap white sugar for natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar. You can also reduce sugar by adding a handful of antioxidant-rich dark chocolate to a fruit salad or making a chia seed pudding.
Including protein in your dishes and drinks can help keep you full. Try Shed Protein to encourage satiety and stronger bones and muscles.
5. Hydrate with Healthy Beverages
Holiday drinks often come loaded with sugar, whether it’s eggnog, soda, or sugary cocktails. Instead of defaulting to high-sugar options, focus on staying hydrated with nutrient-packed beverages. Herbal teas, sparkling water with a splash of citrus, or even warm spiced apple cider can be a festive alternative to sugary drinks.
If you’re making cocktails, you can also make them healthier by cutting back on mixers like soda and juice. Opt for soda water or a splash of freshly squeezed fruit juice. For a fun twist, infuse water with seasonal fruits like cranberries, orange slices, or cinnamon sticks for a festive, nutrient-boosting drink.
Tip: Drink a glass of water before each meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating. If you’re drinking alcohol, try alternating with water to stay hydrated. Try protein hot chocolate with Shed Protein for a cozy drink to warm you up.
6. Mindful Eating: Savor Each Bite
With all the food around, it’s easy to get caught up in overeating during the holidays. Practicing mindful eating can help you make smarter nutrition decisions and truly enjoy the flavors of your meal. Slow down, savor each bite, and pay attention to how full you feel. This will help you avoid overeating and make more conscious choices about what you eat.
Tip: Before diving into your holiday spread, take a moment to assess how hungry you are and what you genuinely want to eat. Focus on enjoying the taste and texture of your food and listen to your body when it says it’s full.
7. Portion Control: Enjoy Without Overindulging
One of the easiest ways to make smarter nutrition decisions during the holidays is through portion control. It’s tempting to go back for seconds, but large portions of high-calorie foods can quickly add up. Instead of piling your plate high, start with smaller portions, and savor each bite.
If you’re hosting or attending a holiday meal, try serving dishes in smaller bowls or on platters to prevent overeating. When it comes to dessert, consider sharing with others or opting for a mini version of your favorite treat to satisfy your sweet tooth without going overboard.
Tip: Instead of filling up on bread or appetizers before the main course, start with a salad or a vegetable-based dish to ensure you’re getting plenty of fiber and nutrients before indulging in heavier foods. Additionally, GLP-1 Boost is a natural solution which helps with the body’s production of GLP-1, the hormone essential for appetite and glucose regulation, so you have more control over your cravings.
Final Thoughts
The holidays don’t have to be an excuse to throw your nutrition goals out the window. With a few simple tweaks, you can create meals that nourish your body without sacrificing flavor. By incorporating more nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and natural sweeteners, you can celebrate the season while still feeling energized and balanced.
Remember, the key is balance, mindfulness, and moderation. Enjoy the holidays, savor your food, and make choices that support your overall well-being. Happy holidays and happy eating!
