I’m sharing 7 mistakes and the lessons they taught me on my GLP-1 health journey—everything from navigating Zepbound and semaglutide, to managing side effects, dosing, dose changes, calorie needs, and weight loss after menopause. These are the things I wish I’d understood earlier so you can avoid the same pitfalls and feel more confident on your own GLP-1 weight loss journey.

Thank you for helping strangers like me who are just starting and kind of scared/worried. MUCH APPRECIATED!

I didn’t realize ‘food noise’ was a thing, until I started Ozempic. Living with the absence of food noise is ‘God send’ and my A1c go down was the icing on the cake.

THE FOOD NOISE is so unbelievably to me so true.

Can we just take a second and acknowledge the difference in your face from that video from last year to now? GIRL! Non scale V right there. 🎉

Thank you! This was really good to listen to. I’m in my fifth week. 12 pounds down. This is nothing short of a miracle! I’m 64, short…started at 184… so I have a ways to go. Being post menopausal is no joke! Lost and regained same 5 pounds over the last five years! I’ll be looking forward to how you transition into maintenance! Congratulations on 10K subscribers!

Yay for 10K!!!! Your channel is so valuable! This video is so good. The GI issues, needing to eat more than you think or feel like eating, and I'm still watching. It's like talking with you, so I keep wanting to "talk" here before the video ends.

I'm so glad I found you. Your voice is so soothing, and I so appreciate you sharing your experience. I am going to take my 1st shot tomorrow.

I am so glad I found your channel! I really relate to the way you process your thoughts and share your experiences. I struggle to be mindful of "white knuckling" my life/weight. Staying on a GLP has been a game changer and that I am not less than for needing it. Thank you!!!

What I heard in the beginning of your video was : Take constipation seriously so consider a daily laxative.
I have been watching other videos and they are all saying no one told them to prioritize FIBER ALONG WITH PROTEIN and that's why they got constipated. So, I am taking your words (and theirs) seriously and preparing for the battle by having Miralax on hand and I am going to be sure I get the needed fiber and fluids (that's MY struggle!) to get the "job" done. 🙂

@Helicon-r4e 4 months ago

the 7 mistakes format is genius because #4 (skipping protein) hit me personally. started formblends same time i started lifting and that combo made a real difference in body comp, not just the scale number

@MissLenaBLN 4 months ago

About the constipation: for me was the water/fiber combination with lots of sleep. I was trying to sleep 9 hours, even if it was 2-3 times a week it helped in the long run.
