Pharmaceutical Biochemistry + Plain English

The science behind retatrutide, explained like you're not a scientist.

I used to formulate these compounds. Now I write about them. Same molecules, fewer acronyms.

About the writer

I'm Olivia.

I spent 8 years in pharmaceutical development before I realized the people who need this information most never get it in plain language. The clinical data exists. The mechanism-of-action papers exist. They're just written for other scientists.

So now I translate. I take the same research that informed the drugs I used to help develop and explain it the way I'd explain it to my sister over coffee. If it doesn't make sense in plain English, I haven't done my job.

Looking for something specific?

I write about GLP-1 medications, retatrutide, and the research behind them. Start wherever makes sense for you.
