8 Months on Ozempic (GLP1) at 50: Here's How It's Really Going
It has been eight months since I started using a GLP-1 as part of my overall health and wellness and I wanted to give you a real, honest update on how it's going.
In this episode I'm sharing my full experience with Ozempic, from why I started it, what the first few months felt like, where I am now, and why I refuse to feel shame about any of it.
I cover:
- What the first three to four months actually felt like, including the food noise and alcohol noise going completely quiet
- Side effects I experienced including hair thinning and hormonal shifts
- Why I stayed at the minimum dose and what that decision has meant for me
- How I'm combining this with workouts, protein targets, and HRT
- Why so many women are keeping this a secret and why I think that needs to stop
- What my doctor said when I finally told her everything
This is my story only. It is not medical advice. But if you are in perimenopause, frustrated, doing all the things and seeing no results, I want you to know this conversation exists.
