From Frustration to Freedom: My Personal Journey with Microdosing GLP-1s

For years, I did all the right things. I tracked my macros. I prioritized my sleep. I moved my body daily. I ate clean. And yes—I lost 20 pounds through pure discipline, consistency, and dedication.

But then life changed. Perimenopause hit, and suddenly what had worked for me for years… just didn’t anymore.

The weight was harder to keep off. The scale wouldn’t budge. My clothes fit tighter, even though my habits hadn’t changed. I felt tired. Frustrated. Defeated. And that frustration made everything feel even harder.

There was a point I remember thinking, “Is this just how it is now?”

Discovering a Game-Changer

While researching GLP-1 medications for our patients at Keystone Wellness & Weight Loss Center, I kept reading study after study—real science showing how these medications weren’t just for diabetes or even just for weight loss.

They were anti-inflammatory, heart protective, and even hormone balancing. They helped stabilize blood sugar, reduce visceral fat, and protect the brain.

The more I learned, the more it resonated. So, I decided to try microdosing a GLP-1 myself.

And let me tell you—it was a game-changer.

What Happened When I Started Microdosing

In just 8 weeks, I lost 16 pounds—without losing muscle, because I’ve continued lifting heavy, prioritizing strength training and eating the right foods.

But the weight loss wasn’t even the biggest win.

My mood lifted. My inflammation vanished. My energy came back. My cravings calmed down. And for the first time in a long time, I felt like my body was working with me again, not against me.

It’s Not a Magic Pill—But It Is a Powerful Tool

Let me be clear: GLP-1s are not a shortcut.

You still have to show up for yourself. You still have to:

Prioritize your sleep Fuel your body with real food

Move your body—especially lifting to preserve muscle

Hydrate

Manage stress

Stay consistent

But what GLP-1s can do—especially when microdosed and monitored—is help reset the foundation so those healthy habits finally start working again.

Why I’m So Passionate About This Now

This isn’t just professional for me anymore—it’s personal.

As a certified nutritionist, I’ve spent years helping others reclaim their health. But now I can say with full confidence: GLP-1 therapy—when done thoughtfully—is one of the most powerful wellness tools we’ve ever had access to.

Not just for weight loss… but for:

Lowering inflammation

Improving cardiovascular health

Supporting cognitive function and reducing dementia risk

Balancing hormones and blood sugar

Preserving muscle while burning fat

And when we microdose, we allow the body to adjust gently, minimizing side effects and making the journey sustainable.

Loving Myself Again—Inside and Out

One of the biggest shifts I’ve experienced. I no longer obsess over the scale or my weight. This tool has given me the freedom to love myself again—and truly enjoy the way I look and feel in my own skin.

I know some people might assume I’m doing this for vanity. They might think I’m crazy because “I wasn’t severely overweight.” But here’s the truth: Everyone is different.

Only you can decide what feels right for your body. Only you can define what feeling good in your skin looks like.

And honestly—what’s wrong with wanting to love how you look?Let’s normalize that. Let’s stop apologizing for wanting confidence, energy, and joy in our bodies.

You Deserve to Feel Like Yourself Again

You are not failing. Your body isn’t broken. And you don’t have to do it alone.
