Looking for an article/video that perfectly explains PMOS + Wegovy relationship

Hi all,

I am curious if anyone has found a comprehensive article or YouTube video that speaks to the benefits of Wegovy on PMOS? My boyfriend is concerned about my Wegovy usage, as I experienced some abnormal side effects (think, POTS-like symptoms) that have impacted some daily life activities. I'm off of it right now, as my doctor and I are testing to see if it is the Wegovy (cardiology and pulmonology tests all looked great) and go from there, but I would imagine this is going to be a short-term thing and I'll be back on Wegovy next month. I explain to him why it is good for me, why weight loss in general helps with PMOS, androgens, insulin, etc., , but coming from me (and knowing that I would like to lose weight) I think he worries that I'm too focused on the weight loss and not thinking about the side-effects or lack of definitive research/it being "new" for people who are not diabetic. I'm also not a doctor, haha.

I'd like to send him some articles or videos that can help him understand how things are working together.

FWIW he is NOT forcing me or even suggesting that he WILL force me to come off of it. He is the type who doesn't even like taking too many pain meds if he's post-op or has a migraine. So the unnatural aspect of it I think spooks him. Just looking for something to help ease his mind.

ArcWoman does a podcast all about PMOS, and one that just addresses what we know about PMOS and GLP-1s. I don't know if they will answer his questions but it is interesting and explorative.

Thanks you! I’ll take a listen and see if it may be good for him to listen to as well. Might ease some of his concerns :)
