I sit down with Corey Perkins, a Houston-based chief inspector in the petrochemical industry, to discuss his inspiring weight loss journey through WeightCare's GLP-1 program.

Corey shares his personal story, explaining how he gradually gained weight over the years, especially after turning 30 and getting married. He touches on his lifestyle choices, including a carb-heavy diet influenced by his wife's Hispanic culture. Corey's wake-up call came when he began feeling uncomfortable in his own body and noticed the physical changes in photos and daily activities.

Intrigued by an advertisement through his employer, Corey decided to give WeightCare and GLP-1 medications a try. Starting at his highest weight of 282 pounds, Corey has made remarkable progress over the past five months, losing around 35 pounds with the help of semaglutide. He shares insights into his journey, including the manageable side effects and the rewarding results that keep him motivated.

Corey emphasizes the importance of consulting with a primary healthcare provider before starting any weight loss medication. He also highlights the need for incorporating small lifestyle changes, such as drinking more water and going for walks, to complement the medication's effects.

As Corey approaches the end of his six-month program, he reflects on the significance of his weight loss for his overall health and well-being. With the support of his WeightCare specialist, Nancy Alexis, he aims to continue making healthy choices and avoid reverting to old habits.
