Every time I share about my GLP-1 journey, the comments flood in.
Some supportive. Some curious. Some skeptical.
And almost every time, someone says it:
“But isn’t that cheating?”
Let’s talk about that.
Because if we don’t call glasses cheating for eyesight 👓
or insulin cheating for diabetes 💉
then why do we treat GLP-1s any differently?
I’m Niki — NICU nurse, wellness advocate, and creator behind Nicole in Scrubs. 💜
I’ve seen how often people blame themselves for health struggles that are really rooted in biology. That’s why I share my GLP-1 journey so openly — to show what happens when science and self-compassion finally meet.
If you’ve been curious about GLP-1 medications or how to start your own journey with support that actually listens, I’ve partnered with Ellie MD to make that process simple, safe, and personal. I even offer one-on-one coaching for everyone who begins through my link.
🧬 The Truth About “Willpower” vs. Biology
As a nurse, I’ve seen this over and over again.
People blaming themselves for biology that’s been quietly working against them.
When hormones like GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) are out of balance, your hunger cues, fullness signals, and blood sugar control all get mixed up. The result? A body that constantly fights to regain weight no matter how much you “eat less and move more.”
GLP-1 medications help restore communication between your gut, brain, and pancreas. They allow your body to do what it was always meant to do. That’s not cheating. That’s science helping your body function the way it should.
💜 Why I Chose to Partner with Ellie MD
When I started sharing my own journey online, I kept getting one question:
“How do I even get started?”
That’s why I decided to partner with Ellie MD, a concierge telehealth service that specializes in obesity care and metabolic health. Their licensed providers understand that obesity isn’t a character flaw. It’s a complex, treatable medical condition.
With Ellie MD, you can:
- Meet with licensed clinicians through telehealth (no waiting rooms)
- Get personalized, evidence-based GLP-1 treatment plans
