GLP-1 Studio
Podcast
Where patient voices become the loudest voices in the room.
The Host
Meet Amanda Bonello —
The first independent GLP-1 patient consultant in the U.S.
Amanda Bonello started a Change.org petition in November 2024 from her home in Iowa. Within weeks, it had 27,000+ signatures, a Politico feature, and a USA Today headline. That's not a story about virality — that's a story about what happens when the right person finally decides to speak up.
She is a certified health coach (ACE-CHC), trained medical writer, founder of GLP-1 Studio, and creator of the STRONG Framework — a patient-centered self-advocacy model currently being developed as a white paper for academic publication.
Her GLP-1 Studio Podcast is a show about real access, real science, and real people navigating a broken healthcare system. No fluff. No pharma money. Just patient-first storytelling that gets featured in Reuters.

FAQ
Common Questions
Why is there a fee for professional guest spots?
GLP-1 Studio is an independent, self-funded media platform. Amanda's audience has been built through years of credible, pharma-free advocacy. When a professional uses that platform to promote their practice or services, a placement fee reflects the value of that access — and keeps the show financially sustainable so Amanda can continue creating free content for patients.
Are patient guests ever charged?
Never. Patients sharing their lived experience appear on the show at no cost, always. That's the whole point.
Will Amanda promote something she doesn't believe in?
No. Every partnership is reviewed. If a topic or product doesn't serve the GLP-1 community, the answer is no — regardless of the fee. Amanda's independence and her audience's trust are non-negotiable.
How is sponsored content disclosed?
All paid guest spots are disclosed verbally at the top of the episode and noted in show notes. We follow FTC guidelines and are fully transparent with our listeners.
My topic isn't 100% GLP-1 focused — can we make it work?
Sometimes yes. Reach out and let's talk. If there's a genuine, natural connection that serves the audience, Amanda is open to creative conversations. If it's a stretch, she'll tell you honestly.
