GLP-1 patient support group
A warm place for meaningful connection and support.
Cozy Butter is a free support community for everything that happens between your prescription and your next doctor’s appointment. The podcast handles the education, and Cozy Butter is where the connection happens.
It is a place to meet other people on GLP-1 medications and ask the questions you have been sitting on. Most of all, it is where you build something steady with people who are in the same place you are.
Amanda Bonello and Kim Carlos founded it, and it lives on Circle, away from social media, so you can find connection without being at the whim of an algorithm. Cozy Butter is free to join, and Kim co-owns it.
How Cozy Butter stays free
Cozy Butter is a free community, supported by our members, our sponsors and our Cozy Insiders. Part of The Butter Way is giving back more than we take from this community. Cozy Insiders is an optional membership that opens doors for our members, with media opportunities to advocate and share your story, and paid market research opportunities with companies working in obesity care.
Why we built it
We deserve better care.We deserve The Butter Way 🧈
Obesity is a chronic disease, and most people are handed a prescription, told to eat less and move more, and sent home to manage the rest on their own. The appointment is fifteen minutes and the next one is three months away, which leaves an enormous amount of life happening in between.
That gap is where people give up, usually because nobody is there on the Tuesday the side effects hit, or the week the scale stops moving, or the morning the insurance denial arrives. We built Cozy Butter to fill it with people who know what all of that feels like.
We call it The Butter Way: care that treats the whole person, spanning medicine, nutrition, movement, stress, community, and knowing enough to advocate for the care you deserve. You are worthy of care!
What you get
Support for every stage of life on GLP-1 treatment
Whether you are curious, just starting, somewhere in the middle, or in maintenance, you get people who understand it, information you can trust, and tools that help you make sense of a journey that can feel overwhelming and very lonely without connection and answers.
The community keeps growing, and members shape what comes next. New sessions and spaces open as people ask for them.
Community guidelines
Community Values
Bringing people together is the easy part. Keeping a space where people are willing to be honest takes guidelines, and these are ours.
Belonging
You have a place here. No proving yourself, explaining yourself, or earning your seat.
Grace
We are all figuring this out, so we extend grace to ourselves and to each other along the way.
Coziness
A space where people feel comfortable being vulnerable, asking questions, and showing up exactly where they are.
Keep it real
We can be hopeful without sugarcoating, which means talking openly about plateaus, regain, changing expectations and side effects.
