JUMP TO:: MEDICAL + AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURES
4 questions I asked myself before every dose increase conversation with my doctor.
If you’re on a GLP-1 and wondering why the scale isn’t moving, why you feel like garbage, or whether your dose just isn’t enough… I get it. I was you.
Before I ever talked to my provider about bumping up my dose, I ran through these four questions first. And they changed everything. This checklist helped me stay on 7.5mg of tirzepatide for 36 weeks… not by white-knuckling it, but by finally giving the medication what it needed to work.
Inside the free checklist, you’ll get:
The 4 things I checked before every dose increase conversation
The exact protein supplements, fiber tools, electrolytes, and hydration products I used (with my honest ratings)
My personalized protein hack that beats the generic “aim for 100g” advice
The OTC emergency shelf for when fiber isn’t enough (nurse-approved)
What movement actually looked like in my real life (spoiler… it involved my bulldog and a lot of squats in the backyard)
This was built by a nurse who has lost 94 lbs with the help of a GLP-1 and lived every single word in it. No fluff. No wellness influencer energy. Just the real stuff nobody told you.

LET’S BE CLEAR ABOUT WHO I AM (AND WHO I’M NOT).
I’m a registered nurse and health coach who shares real, BS-free information about metabolic health, PCOS, perimenopause, and weight loss, because y’all deserve better than vague wellness fluff. But here’s what I need you to know: I am not YOUR nurse. Everything I share here is for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, it’s not a diagnosis, and it doesn’t create a provider-patient relationship between us. Nothing on this site replaces the care of a licensed provider who actually knows your full health history. The opinions and content here are my own and do not reflect the views of my employer or the hospital where I work.
SCOPE OF PRACTICE.
As a nurse health coach, I can recommend over-the-counter products and supplements that may support your wellness goals. I don’t prescribe specific prescription medications. When it comes to GLP-1s and peptides, what I can do is talk about the science, what’s available, and what may be beneficial, so you can have an informed conversation with your licensed medical provider. The decision about what’s right for your body always belongs to you and your provider. Always consult your licensed provider before starting any prescription treatment — this is not something that should be DIY’d. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Products discussed on this site are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
TRANSPARENCY.
I only recommend things I actually trust. Most are products I personally use, some are from partners whose clinical standards I believe in. I will always let you know when it’s something I haven’t tried personally. Some links on this site are affiliate links or part of brand partnerships, which means I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
