New Book ‘Weight Loss Decoded’ Seeks to Clarify GLP-1 Medication Confusion

Amid widespread confusion and misinformation surrounding GLP-1 weight loss medications, fitness and clinical weight-management expert Sharon Polsky has released a new book titled Weight Loss Decoded: Unlocking the Truth About GLP Weight Loss Medications. The book, published on June 10, 2026, seeks to cut through the hype and provide readers with straightforward, evidence-based answers about how these drugs work, their side effects, and what happens when treatment ends.

Polsky, who also hosts the Weight Loss Decoded Podcast, aims to address the emotional and physical challenges faced by individuals who have struggled with dieting, hormonal changes, and metabolic issues. The book covers topics such as the mechanism of GLP medications, managing common side effects, the likelihood of weight regain after stopping treatment, and the role of lifestyle habits during therapy.

Dr. Jimmy D. Bowen, Chief Medical Officer of ApexMD, contributed the foreword, praising Polsky’s ability to explain metabolic health in an accessible and honest manner. The book arrives at a time when demand for GLP medications is rising sharply, leaving many patients searching for reliable guidance beyond social media soundbites.

Polsky, a specialist in women’s health, GLP-1 education, and menopause support, emphasizes that her goal is to help readers make informed decisions about their health without shame or unrealistic expectations. The book includes practical examples and patient-centered discussions to make complex medical topics relatable.

As the conversation around weight loss medications continues to dominate public discourse, Weight Loss Decoded offers a grounded perspective on the science and reality of these treatments, aiming to empower readers with knowledge rather than hype.
