On the Porch

Health advice mostly comes at you in absolutes — do this, never that. What I've found, watching my own numbers and other people's for years now, is that most of it depends on the person and the week. This is where I put down what I've noticed, and what I've read that actually held up.

Trusted Sources

• Food Safety Recalls & Outbreaks — Same check I run for Food & Diet — safety comes first regardless of pillar.
• Fit&Well — Practical, grounded coverage without the wellness-brand gloss.
• Mayo Clinic — My go-to for clinical credibility when something needs to be right, not just interesting.
• Semaglutide Life — Anchoring source for GLP-1 content.
• Everything Guide to GLP-1s — Anchoring source for GLP-1 content.
• Kick Diabetes Essentials — Anchoring source for GLP-1 content.
• American Diabetes Association — Baseline clinical reference for anything touching type 2 diabetes.
• Levels Health Blog — More field-tested, CGM-focused writing — a useful counterweight to the purely clinical sources above.
• This is a record of what I've read and observed, not medical advice. I'm not a doctor, and nothing here should replace a conversation with one. Any drug, dose, or treatment decision — Mounjaro included — is between you and your own physician. What works in my reading or in the field doesn't automatically apply to your situation.
