My GLP-1 Story

Finding something that finally worked.

I struggled with weight my entire life. In fact, the first time I told myself I needed to lose weight was when I was five years old.

I remember my pediatrician telling my mom not to make enough for leftovers so I wouldn’t ask for more.

In middle school my weight started to change - however, this was due to diet pills and under eating.

Fast forward to the cystic acne & painful periods that I experienced as a teen. I was told repeatedly by my family & doctor that it was all part of being a “teenager”. When I started to grow hair on my face & have it fall off my head, I was told it was “genetics”.

I hired personal trainers, bought every 28 day workout plan on the planet, took all of the supplements & prescriptions, paid for all of the expensive protein powders… NOTHING worked.

In college when I finally had enough of my symptoms, I went to an endocrinologist. Google told me that would be the doctor who would tell me I have PCOS, and it was right.

Birth control, Metformin, Spirolactone, & a diet pill that made me vomit (goodbye contrave), that and a 1,300 calories/day eating plan was what I was given.

Everything changed in 2023 when I was introduced to a GLP-1.

When my dad started to lose weight on a new medication he was taking called “Mounjaro”, & I realized it was the same medication I was seeing all over TikTok for weightloss, I knew I wanted to ask my doctor about it.

I walked into my doctor’s office & asked him if he thought a GLP-1 would be a good fit for me given I had PCOS & have struggled with weightloss my entire life. He quickly declined & said I should try a little harder to lose the weight myself.

That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and figure out how I could get a GLP-1 on my own.

I discovered the route of tele-health companies & compounded GLP-1’s. After doing my research, I chose a company and I never looked back.

When I lost 10lbs the first month, I couldn’t believe it. “It must be a fluke”, I thought. Second month, another 10lbs down. Third month, ANOTHER 10lbs down.

In total, I lost 60lbs in 8 months and my life has never been the same since.

A total miracle.
