❌My PCP said I didn’t qualify.
✅I sought a second opinion and qualified.

❌My insurance cried “out of network” and refused to pay for the labs I needed for coverage.
✅I sought a different option.

❌The option was out of my budget.
✅I discovered another way to make it happen.

So grateful for being a “stubborn patient” because without GLP-1 I would still be:

❌Obese
❌Prediabetec
❌Inflamed
❌Exhausted

Because the myth that weight loss is *only about willpower or calories is flat out WRONG. There is so much going on in many modern day bodies that can make it nearly impossible to shed excess weight, no matter how hard we try.

Instead I now have:

✅Just 18 lb to go to my goal weight
✅A healthier BMI
✅Normal blood sugar (it still needs a bit of improvement but I am getting there!)
✅More energy
✅Lower inflammation
✅Improved thyroid labs
✅Confidence AF

All by combining my prior anti-inflammatory lifestyle and diet with nano, micro, and mini doses of Tirzepatide and adding other supportive peptides along the way as needed.

☕ Tea time, friends!
 
So here's the scoop: Tirzepatide (aka Mounjaro) is finally coming off the shortage list! *pretends to be shocked*
 
Plot twist: Turns out there was never actually a shortage of the medication itself - just those fancy injector pens that Big Pharma™️ couldn't keep up with manufacturing. 🙄 Now they're rolling out a "budget friendly" vial option starting at *just* $400/month (I'll wait while you catch your breath).
 
As someone who manages Hashimoto's and has seen firsthand how this medication can help with inflammation, blood sugar, and weight management, I've got some thoughts about what this means for those of us using compounding pharmacies:
 
1. Word on the street is compounding pharmacies might have to stop offering this once their current supply runs out (cue dramatic music 🎭)
 
2. Some clever pharmacies are getting creative by adding beneficial nutrients like B12 to make it a "compound." Is this legal? Will they get away with it? Stay tuned for that drama as the show unfolds...
 
Meanwhile, researchers like us are seeing success with our research subjects like aging backwards, managing blood sugar, melting inflammation, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Okay, honey - let's get real for a sec. Even if I'd found GLP-1 and other supportive peptides first, I still would have needed to do alllll the same root cause discovery work I've been doing for the past 9 years. 🤦‍♀️

We're talking candida, gut infections, low microbiome integrity, parasites, dental infections, thyroid hormone replacement, drainage pathways, viral infections, mitochondria, nervous system support, circadian rhythm, hydration & minerals, heavy metals, genetics & methylation - the whole shebang! 🤯 (I'm getting exhausted just remembering every little step I've taken!)

And you know what? I don't regret a single minute of it. Sure, it would have been nice to have those peptides as a little extra boost from the get-go. But diving deep into the root causes has been crucial for my healing journey.

Peptides are just another tool in my wellness toolkit, helping me tackle inflammation, blood sugar, pain relief, energy support, and more. And you better believe I'm stacking them on top of all the other root cause work I've done.

So if you're feeling like you've wasted your time or money trying to heal your root causes first, think again, my friend. That work was and is ESSENTIAL, whether you decide to try peptides or not.

Let's normalize actually EATING while on GLP-1! 🍽

When I first started my journey with Tirzepatide, I found myself in Facebook groups focused on the standard MEGA dosing of GLP-1 prescriptions and eating in a severe calorie deficit.

Sadly, I saw so many people, mostly women, talking about how they could only manage 400-800 calories per day due to intense nausea and gut issues.

Many were constipated for days and taking upwards of 15mg of a common rx GLP-1 + GIP because their insurance MADE them titrate up in order to continue coverage…

Even though they were still not seeing results or only seeing very slow progress.

I've taken a different approach - one focused on micro-dosing, utilizing other supportive peptides, and sticking to an anti-inflammatory, high-protein primal diet.

This has allowed me to eat mindfully and trust the metabolic magic of GLP-1, rather than just relying on appetite suppression.

It's time to take our power back from the companies that prioritize profits over patient wellbeing.

Join me in normalizing a healthy, sustainable approach to GLP-1 therapy.

Together, we can reclaim our health and our power!

*Not medical advice.

My channel of several years, with almost 200 videos, was removed from YouTube without notice by Google.

Despite appealing, I have fully lost access and was not given the opportunity to download my videos before they were taken down.

It's clear to see that talking about alternative ways to fix metabolism and helping others achieve better health seems to have taken money away from Big Pharma.

They literally said my content was dangerous.

It's my fault for trusting my content wouldn't ever be deleted, and for postponing backups just in case (thanks ADHD, OCD, chronic illness, and a busy schedule).

But the reality is, the videos are GONE. Forever.

I received this news just hours before my brother's major surgery yesterday. I had to compartmentalize the grief of losing all my hard work on YouTube and never being able to access it again.

My channel included not just videos of me discussing peptides (despite cautiously mentioning they are not for human use where applicable) – but family videos of cooking with my late father, thyroid education training videos, car camping build videos and my wins when I started feeling better after my dental surgery.

All. Effing. GONE.

This has left me with a ton of cleanup to do as well on my website and newsletter where videos are hosted, and that will just have to be a slow and steady process because I am completely overwhelmed right now with the thought of it PLUS everything going on with my "baby" bro.

While it’s devastating, and I'm not welcome to start another channel on YouTube, this isn’t the end of educating women how to take back their power.

I’m more determined than ever to rebuild and continue sharing the knowledge that can help others transform their health and reclaim their lives. 🌟

Thank you for joining me here in this UNCENSORED, zero Big Tech, Telegram channel. I would be forever grateful if you could help us grow and share the message of wellness with a friend today, and share our channel with them.

How to RECONSTITUTE Research Peptides

SNAP-8, a well-known peptide in the skincare industry, has gained significant recognition for its role in anti-aging formulations.

As a synthetic peptide, SNAP-8 is a fragment derived from the original Botulinum Toxin substrate, offering a non-invasive alternative to Botox for reducing expression lines and wrinkles.

The peptide's ability to target the neuromuscular connections involved in facial expressions makes it an ideal ingredient in topical treatments aimed at smoothing fine lines and enhancing overall skin texture.

Reduction of Wrinkle Depth: The primary benefit of SNAP-8 is its ability to reduce the depth of facial wrinkles, particularly those caused by repeated expressions, such as frowning, smiling, or squinting. Studies have shown that regular application of SNAP-8 can lead to a significant reduction in wrinkle depth, improving the overall appearance of the skin.

In clinical studies, participants who used products containing SNAP-8 reported noticeable improvements in skin smoothness and a reduction in the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. These results are attributed to the peptide’s ability to relax facial muscles, which, over time, minimizes the formation of new wrinkles and softens existing ones.

Experience the benefits of SNAP-8 in your own research! *Unfiltered photo, wearing foundation, age 44.*
