My Dutch “blind-date” 🥹🇳🇱 my friend Emma saw my “bench-video” with Gijs (The lovely stranger who knocked over my camera and gave me a gratis Dutch lesson) and she said: “I KNOW A GUEST FOR YOUR BENCH.” I sent her the location of my bench and on Tuesday morning I had a “blind-date” with another real Amsterdammer: the iconic Drikje. ❤️ we were sitting there “chatting and crocheting” for over an hour until our fingers froze off 🥹 #learndutch #nederlands #amsterdam #dutch
NYC 26.2 miles. My third marathon of 2026. And a finish line I’ll never forget. 🏅❤️ Yesterday, I crossed the finish line of the NYC Marathon feeling unbelievable gratitude. Living with Crohn’s disease has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. There have been some incredibly difficult days, years of uncertainty, treatments, setbacks, and moments when doing something like this seemed impossible. But yesterday, I proved something to myself. Not to anyone else, but to me. That despite everything my body has been through, that I could do this. It’s taken a long time to make it this far and im so proud 😊 It took everything I had, and I’m so grateful I got to experience it, New York City came alive and made it such an amazing day full of love sweat and plenty bittersweet tears 🥲❤️ To my incredible fiancée, thank you for standing beside me through the hardest moments, believing in me, and reminding me how far I’ve come. Your beautiful words before the race meant more than you’ll ever know. ❤️ A massive thank you to the @werunfoundation and the incredible team. Being part of something bigger than myself, raising money to support underprivileged youth communities and help create opportunities for the next generation, made this experience even more meaningful. 🙏 This journey has taught me to never take my health, my body, or the people around me for granted. Forever grateful. 💜🏅 #nycmarathon #WeRun #CrohnsDisease #RunningForACause #newyork
It’s no secret that GLP-1 medications, like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, have helped millions of people across the globe — including professional athletes — with weight loss, appetite regulation, and blood sugar control. That said, there are many, many side effects that come with taking the increasingly popular drugs. For example, you’ve probably heard of the term “Ozempic face,” which refers to the sagging of the facial skin that can occur after extremely rapid weight loss. Per the Cleveland Clinic, some more GLP-1 side effects include nausea, hair loss, and “Ozempic butt” — aka muscle loss in the backside. Well, this week on X, several social media users discovered a lesser-known side effect that some GLP-1 users have reported experiencing: “Ozempic vagina.” In response to a viral post about “the rise of Ozempic vagina,” one user tweeted, “a close friend verified that it happened to her and she let me see but more importantly, she let me gasp and laugh in shock because that MF really slid DOWN.” The post quickly racked up more than 3 million views and has prompted several people to question: What on earth is “Ozempic vagina?” Well, according to Medical News Today, “Ozempic vagina” or “Ozempic vulva” refers to changes in the “appearance and comfort of the genital area” following rapid weight loss. Per the outlet, people who have experienced “vulvovaginal changes” report experiencing “loss of volume and plumpness in the labia majora and mons pubis,” “sagging or wrinkled skin,” and “changes in the shape of the vulva.” (To be clear, there is no official scientific research that reports on “Ozempic vagina,” and while weight loss can certainly result in looser skin in the genital area, other factors — like fluctuating hormones — might also explain changes.)
