GLP-1 side effects. One body going through rapid change.
GLP-1 medications quiet appetite and change the pace of weight loss. The tradeoffs do not arrive in one neat category, so Aplomb organizes support around the areas women ask about most.
Facial change is not only a skin problem.
Rapid weight loss can change the look of the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Some of it is volume lost under the skin, which a topical cannot replace. Some of it is the skin itself looking thinner, drier, and less supported.
Where Aplomb fits: Facial Serum is the topical step for the skin-support side of that change, not a filler or a procedure.

Hair shedding can show up after the weight has already moved.
Telogen effluvium often follows a stressor by months. Rapid weight loss, lower intake, and common nutrient gaps can each add pressure to the hair cycle.
Where Aplomb fits: Roots focuses on iron, vitamin D, and zinc, without biotin, because biotin can throw off lab results.

Nausea is often a dose-window problem.
The same slowed gastric emptying that quiets appetite can also bring nausea, especially around starts, restarts, and dose increases. It is the most common reason people stop before the dose has had time to work.
Where Aplomb fits: Calm pairs ginger, vitamin B6, and electrolytes in a 30-day kit for the hardest part of the window.

A calorie deficit costs lean mass, not just fat.
GLP-1s make it easier to eat less, and that is part of why they work. But any sustained deficit can take lean tissue along with the fat, especially when protein intake drops, and especially for women already losing muscle to age.
Where Aplomb fits: Protein makes the daily protein habit easier to keep through the titration window, alongside resistance training.

Bad breath rarely has a single cause.
A drier mouth, the ketones that come with fast fat loss, and slower digestion can each leave a mark on the breath during treatment. It tends to track the dose.
What helps: steady hydration, zinc lozenges, and consistent dental care work on the causes, not just the smell.
