74. Feeling Puffy, Inflamed, and Stuck with Your Weight? Sharing My Honest Experience Microdosing a GLP-1


Listen Later

Today’s episode is a vulnerable one, and honestly…not something I ever thought I would be sharing: my personal journey with microdosing a GLP-1 peptide. This wasn’t about chasing a shortcut or “cheating”, but about giving my body the support it needed to respond again!

I’m not saying you should do this, because I know it’s not for everyone. But…I’m also not here to gatekeep, and I will GLADLY share something that’s been a game changer for me (plus many of the women I’ve worked with)! 

You’re NOT broken, and you don’t have to “white-knuckle” your way through your health to make progress. If you’re curious about using a GLP-1 in a safe and aligned way, you DESERVE the freedom to explore that - without shame. Our team would love to support you in doing so!
