About

A radio station for the GLP-1 community

We host GLP-1 podcasts, and so do a lot of people we admire. We wanted one place where those voices play all the time, so anyone on a GLP-1 medication can press play and hear news, real stories and expert conversations whenever they need them.

Why we made it

Life on a GLP-1 medication brings a lot of questions between doctor visits. Podcasts answer many of them, but you have to know which shows to look for. GLP-1 Radio puts them in one stream. It plays our own shows, The Plus SideZ Podcast, the GLP-1 Studio Podcast and the GLP-1 News Hour, and it is open to other GLP-1 podcasts that share our standards.

Every episode plays from the show's own podcast feed, with the show's name and picture, and listeners can tap through to the episode page.

What is Cozy Butter?

Cozy Butter is the online community we run for adults taking GLP-1 medications in the US. Members come for daily GLP-1 news and law updates, live Q&As, group fitness and meetups every week, practical coaching guides, and each other. GLP-1 Radio is part of Cozy Butter, and members can listen right inside the community.

Meet Amanda and Kim

The two obesity care advocates and podcast hosts who founded Cozy Butter.

Amanda Bonello

Host of the GLP-1 Studio Podcast and the GLP-1 News Hour

Amanda is a patient advocate, ACE-certified health coach and GLP-1 brand consultant, and one of the organizers leading the GLP-1 patient movement. She founded GLP-1 Studio and the GLP-1 Collective, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working for affordable access to GLP-1 medications, and led a national petition for access that gathered more than 27,000 signatures. She has contributed to The New York Times, NBC News, Reuters and more.

We don’t want to take money from the people who are already struggling to afford their medication. We are those people. Cozy Butter is a way to give back.

Kim Carlos

Host and executive producer of The Plus SideZ

Kim has lived with obesity most of her life and has been on GLP-1 treatment since 2022. She is one of the most trusted voices in the GLP-1 community, and every week she talks with patients about what they are going through on treatment. She hosts and executive produces The Plus SideZ, a top 1% podcast worldwide where she interviews the obesity specialists and researchers shaping the field. She has been featured on Good Morning America, Bloomberg, ABC Nightline and more.

We are trying to give more to our community than we take, and still support our families. There is no cure for obesity, so we’ll need community forever.
