Living with these side effects inspired reality TV star Dolores Catania to partner with Advanced Herbals (the makers of Dramamine) to form a new informational series titled The Dish on GLP-1s. The series is expected to dive headfirst into commonly experienced side effects of using GLP-1s such as, nausea, a side effect Dolores mentions in the series’ first episode.
What Is The Dish on GLP-1s About?
Dolores Catania is an established GLP-1 advocate, and has vocalized her own personal journey with the medications. "When I first started my wellness journey with GLP-1 medications, I was prepared for weight loss and I was ready to feel different, but the nausea? No one prepared me for that. It really impacted my day-to-day life, but at the time no one was having these open, honest conversations about GLP-1 use––there was still a lot of stigma and speculation."1
Catania’s co-host Dr. Holly Lofton is a board-certified obesity medicine physician from NYU Langone. Aside from providing professional expertise on GLP-1s, Dr Lofton expressed her desire to advance education in additional weight loss practices and hopes to use the new platform to help promote health lifestyle options.
The show debuted on July 15, 2025, and provided viewers the first chance to experience the series, which is formatted into candid conversations between Dolores Catania and Dr. Lofton. The series’ focus shifts between Catania’s personal experiences with GLP-1s, and Dr. Lofton providing her professional expertise.
Dr Lofton explains the function of GLP-1 medications, which work by slowing the rate at which the stomach empties, helping users feel full longer and ultimately consume fewer calories. Yet, this mechanism can also lead to symptoms like nausea, bloating, and constipation which are the three most reported side effects.
Lofton has additionally expressed her concerns of these side effects becoming potential deterrents for new GLP-1 patients and becoming a risk of hindering current users from continuing treatment. To help increase awareness, the series tailored its viewing experience to support and provide stigma-free solutions for common GLP-1 side effects, such as suggesting non-prescription side effect solutions.
The Dish on GLP-1s is currently available on Dramamine.com/TheDishonGLP1 with additional viewing options on Instagram, and YouTube. The series is scheduled to air weekly on the previously mentioned platforms with the goal of empowering and educating GLP-1 users.
