Hi, I’m Amanda Bonello 😊
I started this podcast to give the GLP-1 community a voice. To share the life changing experiences these medications can bring and to shine a light on the human impact of access issues.
Since then, I’ve founded both a nonprofit and a for-profit to “put advocacy into action for GLP-1 access” and to do everything I can to support and empower the patients who need it most.
I can hardly believe we’ve made it to Season 2, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your support. 🩷
This week on the GLP-1 Collective Podcast, I had the chance to talk with Justin Silver, the creator of SymptoGuard. What stood out most to me was not just the supplement itself, but the heart behind why he built it.
Justin’s story begins with his father, who lived through the struggles of obesity and the side effects of weight loss medications. Watching someone you love face those challenges changes the way you see the entire system. For Justin, it became the motivation to find a way to help people who are trying to improve their health but feel stuck dealing with side effects that slow them down.
In our conversation, Justin shares what drove him to create SymptoGuard, the research behind it, and the bigger picture of what it means to support patients using GLP-1 medications. We talk about education, about giving people the tools they need to make informed choices, and about why access to safe and effective options should not be limited to only those who can afford it.

What struck me most was Justin’s compassion. He is not just another voice in the supplement space. He is someone who has walked alongside his family through real struggles and who wants to use that experience to help others. That makes this episode not only about a product, but about people, family, and the belief that we can do better for those living with obesity.
I think you will find this conversation both hopeful and practical. It is about longevity, resilience, and what it really takes to support healthier lives.
As always, there are so many ways you can support the podcast.
