Let’s talk full transparency for a second. 👇🏼 About a year ago, I ended a three-year relationship where I had gained 30 pounds. Ten of those pounds came off quickly afterward, but then I hit a wall. And I mean a stubborn wall. I was lifting heavy, eating protein, walking daily, taking my high-quality supplements, and doing all the “right” things. But I still felt off. ➡️ Brain fog ➡️ Inflammation ➡️ Constant ADHD overwhelm ➡️ Mindless scrolling ➡️ No progress on the scale Everything just felt… stuck. At first, I brushed off GLP-1s as just a “weight loss shot” that also helped with food noise. But the more I dove into the research, the more I realized that GLP-1s aren’t about quick fixes, they’re signaling peptide hormones (aka bioidentical to what your body already makes). And they don’t just help with weight. They can support:
👀 That’s when I really started paying attention. The only catch? I didn’t think I’d qualify based on traditional BMI requirements. But then I learned about microdosing - smaller doses that still deliver results without intense side effects. So, I decided to try it. Not just to lose my “ex-boyfriend weight”… but to feel like myself again! ➡️ Energy back ➡️ Clearer mind ➡️ Less inflammation ➡️ More me I started last week, and here’s what I can tell you so far: ✔️ I feel great! ✔️ No side effects ✔️ My first dose was a microdose of a microdose 😂 ✔️ I’m down a couple pounds (likely inflammation) ✔️ And yes, I am still terrified of injecting myself lol (If you need a good laugh, check out my first injection on Instagram HERE where I had to facetime a friend for moral support 🙈) I’m not replacing my healthy habits. I’m supporting them. I’m still eating high-protein meals, lifting weights, getting my steps in, and taking my supplements. This is just one more tool in my toolbox. So many of you have reached out, shared your stories, asked questions, and it’s meant so much to me. If you’re curious, you can find info for the online doctor I use right here (use code JULIE for 10% off). They offer microdosing and standard dosing options and everything’s done virtually. And if you ever need someone to talk it out with, you can always hit reply - or FaceTime me before your first injection. 😉
