Beyond the Needle is for anyone who has started, stopped, questioned, or lived with GLP-1 medication and discovered that the prescription was only the beginning. Written by registered nurse, GLP-1 user, and Body Compass founder P.C. Ennis, this book goes beyond the usual conversation about weight loss. It explores what happens when appetite changes, food noise quietens, the body changes faster than the mind, and the questions begin to shift from How much weight can I lose? to What happens next? Drawing on clinical evidence, professional experience, and lived experience, Beyond the Needle examines the biology behind appetite and weight, side effects, muscle loss, weight regain, maintenance, body image, stigma, healthcare bias, and the rapidly changing world of GLP-1 treatment. It also looks at the questions many people are left to navigate alone: What happens if treatment stops? Why can hunger or food noise return? How do you protect your health while losing weight? And how do you make sense of a body, identity, and life that may be changing at the same time? This is not a book that tells you what to decide. It is a book designed to help you understand the landscape, ask better questions, and make informed decisions about what comes next.
