Switching from tirzepatide back to semaglutide means restarting the injection at 0.25 mg. How the switch works, how long to wait, and what the first weeks feel like.

A pellet is inserted in a short office procedure and releases hormone steadily as it dissolves. The trade nobody leads with is that once it is in, the dose cannot be adjusted until it wears off. What that means in practice.
No state issues a license called hormone therapist. Here are the credentials that do exist, the ten questions worth asking on a first call, and the answers that tell you to keep looking.
