Dose of Reality

Grab your tissues…hahaha…Welcome to Episode 6, where I conclude the two part series, The Tale of Two Doctors. In this episode the shoe finally fits. I share the story of finding my new primary physician, who was willing to think beyond the usual approach, and the moment that he set me on my GLP-1 journey with the simple words, “I can get you there.”

This episode is about access. Not just access to GLP-1 medication, but access to being heard. Listen to what happens when you trust someone for decades, and then when you ask for something…new…different…out of the norm, you're met with pushback, lack of flexibility, and ultimately a “no”.

It’s episode 4!!!! Let’s break down my 3rd and 4th weeks on Wegovy. These two weeks mark the completion of my first box of four shots (.25 dose). One running theme, small victories!!! Now that I’m settling in to the medication, I’m noticing and quietly observing the many small victories that are compounding into my budding success. Happy listening…enjoy.

Let’s talk about my mental shift, why it felt confusing at first and how it became one of the most meaningful parts of my experience so far…and yes we’re going to tie it all into a Disney/Pixar analogy!

Let’s discuss my first two weeks on Wegovy—what actually happened, what surprised me, and what I didn’t expect.

An introduction to who I am, where I am in the process, and why I’m here…starting a podcast.
