TrumpRX: What It Means for You

The TrumpRX plan introduces MFN pricing, ensuring Americans pay the same for drugs as other developed countries. For patients without coverage, Wegovy costs ~$250/month, and Zepbound ~$345/month. Once pill versions are FDA-approved, prices drop to $149/month. This initiative focuses on accessibility and affordability of life-changing medications. Final post tomorrow will cover who benefits most and next steps.

By early 2025, the medication shortage ended, and compounding pharmacies stopped making alternatives.

Drug companies lowered prices: Zepbound at $349/month and Wegovy at $499/month. While prices improved, they remained unaffordable for many, especially seniors with obesity-related diseases, as Medicare didn’t cover weight loss drugs, only diabetes. Only 13 states offered Medicaid coverage for weight loss. A major change is coming with the new TrumpRX pricing plan—stay tuned.

Why are GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound so costly?

These weight loss drugs required $10 billion for research, testing, and production, including building new factories. When demand surged with the “Ozempic craze,” prices soared to $1,350/month for Wegovy and $1,086/month for Zepbound without insurance. Pharmacies responded by compounding cheaper versions, some as low as $279/month. However, this changed in 2025, affecting future pricing. Stay tuned for more details.

What to Expect with Zepbound

Zepbound isn’t a quick fix — but the results are life-changing.
🏁 Over a few months, weight loss improves your breathing while you sleep.
😴 As your airways open, your sleep quality improves, and your doctor may even reduce or discontinue your CPAP settings once you’ve lost 10% or more of your body weight.

This new approach gives real hope to people who’ve struggled for years with poor sleep and constant fatigue.

A New Way to Treat Sleep Apnea

💊 In July 2025, the FDA approved Zepbound for treating moderate to severe sleep apnea in adults with obesity.
Originally a weight-loss medication, it helps patients lose an average of 20% of their body weight, and that weight loss can reduce airway collapse and breathing pauses by up to 50%!

For many, that means deeper sleep, better focus, and renewed energy.

Are You Waking Up Tired?

😴 Do you wake up exhausted even after a full night’s rest? Loud snoring could be more than just a nuisance — it might be sleep apnea.
This condition interrupts your breathing dozens of times a night, robbing your body of oxygen and energy. It’s common among people living with obesity and can double your risk of serious health issues if left untreated.

But here’s the good news — new treatment options are changing everything.

👉 Stay tuned tomorrow to learn about a breakthrough that’s helping patients breathe easier again.

Your Body Isn’t Betraying You

Here’s what’s really happening when weight comes back:
Your brain and stomach send signals screaming, “I’m hungry!”
Your metabolism slows down, making every calorie count more.
This isn’t weakness — it’s biology. Your body thinks it’s protecting you.
That’s why even after surgery or medication, the hunger can return.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post — we’ll talk about how to fight back without guilt.
