What else the video covers
On day three she says she woke around 4:40 a.m. with a migraine that felt different from her usual weather and sinus headaches, followed by a day of low energy, trouble working and flu-like tiredness. Over the next few days she describes insomnia, fatigue, a tight stomach and little appetite. She says she ate small breakfasts, and that a third boiled egg made her feel close to vomiting. She also noticed little desire to snack or drink water hours later, and the headache returned.
Ashley says that drinking more water and making herself eat ended the headaches, and she thinks waiting too long to eat may have caused them. She describes very deep but unrefreshing sleep, then says her energy came back by the day of filming. She also reports mild constipation and says she has started a stool softener and plans to buy fiber pills. She does not think she has lost weight yet, weighs in once a week on Mondays, and plans to continue through her 30-day supply before deciding whether to stay on it. These are her personal experiences, not medical advice.

- Wegovy side effects, and why the top of the ladder is different
Wegovy's side effects are semaglutide's side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation, worst in the first weeks and after each dose increase. What makes Wegovy different from Ozempic is not the molecule but the destination. Wegovy is dosed for weight management, climbing to 2.4 mg with a 7.2 mg high-dose strength above it, and dose is the main driver of how pronounced the gastrointestinal effects get. It also carries a boxed warning for thyroid C-cell tumour risk. One useful fact while you decide whether to push through: Novo's self-pay price is flat across every pen dose, so a slower climb costs a brand patient nothing.
- Wegovy 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD): what the higher dose adds, and what it costs
Wegovy HD is semaglutide at 7.2 mg, three times the standard 2.4 mg dose, in its own pen. In the STEP UP trial it took 18.7% off body weight at 72 weeks against 15.6% for 2.4 mg and 3.9% for placebo, in 1,407 adults with obesity. That puts it within 1.5 points of tirzepatide's head-to-head result and makes it the strongest semaglutide there is. Novo sells it direct for $399 a month, $50 above the standard pen, and it sits above the normal ladder rather than replacing it.
- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
