Supplements and GL🫛-1 medications are not the same thing, but the comparison isn’t biochemical… it’s cultural.

Somewhere along the way, wellness culture decided that spending hundreds of dollars on supplements, powders, detoxes, wearables, and biohacking tools means you’re deeply committed to your health…
but taking a medication prescribed by your doctor means you “cheated.”

I use supplements.

I strength train, prioritize protein, walk, work on my sleep, use my red light, wear castor oil packs, and do plenty of slightly unhinged wellness things.

I also use a prescribed micr0dose of a GL🫛-1 every week and I loooooooooooove it.
For me, it has helped quiet food noise, improve my focus and sleep, and significantly reduce the inflammation I was feeling in my eyes and joints.

I’m not embarrassed about that, and I’m not going to pretend that the castor oil pack was the one magic thing that changed the game. 
Medication isn’t a moral failure and supplements are not proof that you worked harder.

This is a friendly reminder that using a helpful tool does not cancel out the work you do to support your health in every other area.

GLP-1s are not right for everyone, and I believe they should be used thoughtfully with a qualified medical provider. But I am officially done with the idea that struggling longer is somehow more virtuous.

Comment STACK and I’ll send you my honest update on exactly what I’m taking, my dose, what has changed, and what I wish more women knew.
