weight loss

Okay sooooo……

Summer is fast approaching.

And a couple years ago? I dreaded it.

There were summers I didn’t even own a bathing suit that fit.
I refused to buy shorts.
I lived in long dresses and leggings because they felt safer.

Pool invites stressed me out.
Beach trips felt exposing.
Photos? Absolutely not.

I kept telling myself I just needed more discipline.
More willpower.
Another fad diet.

So I counted calories.
Tracked every bite.
Tried whatever new fad diet was trending that month.

And every time it didn’t “stick,” I blamed myself.

What actually changed everything?

I started GLP-1 therapy under medical supervision.

And I stopped dieting.

I stopped counting calories.
I stopped chasing fad diets.
I started eating intelligently.

Protein first.
Fiber daily.
Balanced meals.
No extremes.

The food noise quieted.
My body finally had metabolic support.
And everything else began to fall into place.

This past summer?

I had a whole drawer of bathing suits.
An actual drawer.
And yes… a whole drawer of shorts too.

That didn’t come from trying harder.
It came from upgrading the strategy.

If you’re exhausted from white-knuckling another summer, maybe it’s time to stop fighting your biology.

Summer is coming either way. ☀️
You get to decide how you walk into it.

_{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 here 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. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Products discussed 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 in this email 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.}
