00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.719
Hi guys, welcome back to Real Love Real Life Podcast.

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.760
I'm your host, Jasmine.

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:22.960
And I'm Ernesto.

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.160
Did I say that wrong?

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:24.879
Ernesto?

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:25.359
No.

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.679
Um, okay, so today we are talking about a hot topic.

00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:37.280
I feel like I've been seeing this everywhere, um, especially like TikTok, all of that.

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.280
And then also I'm using it.

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.119
We're talking about GLP ones.

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.600
Um, I don't know if you're interested in this topic.

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.039
I didn't even ask you.

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.840
No, I think you said it's a hot topic.

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.119
I see everybody talking about it.

00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:49.840
Literally.

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.640
I feel like I've never like seen it this much.

00:00:52.799 --> 00:01:02.240
It's actually been a thing for I don't know why I ate that protein bar before I started this because now I'm gonna have heartburn the entire episode.

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.280
But, anyways, um, yeah, I it's everywhere.

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.920
I've actually been using it um for 13 weeks now.

00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:18.079
I just took my 13th shot on Wednesday and I'm down 22 pounds.

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:19.760
Lee, you should put a picture.

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.159
Um, if we can, we should put a picture of my first podcast episode and like this one side by side.

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.079
Because I was actually looking at it and I was like, You couldn't believe it.

00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.680
Holy moly, like what happened?

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.400
I still have a long way to go, but you could like, I think that's the first place like you could see it as someone's face.

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:41.120
Yeah.

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.959
And I'm like, why was I so round?

00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.040
But you yeah, you could see the difference already.

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:50.640
Yeah, I mean, I see the difference.

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:59.599
Like, even when I don't really like to weigh myself, but like before I was weighing myself, I could already see the difference in like clothes.

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.280
Like, I think on like on our second episode, I was wearing some jeans.

00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.800
I tried to put them on, I try to put them on the other day, and they just looked so goofy, like they were so big on me.

00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.560
Um, like not even with a belt because then they would be like all scrunched up.

00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.599
So you could see it in the clothes, you could see it in the face.

00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:23.360
Um, and yeah, so we're just gonna talk about like the good, the bad, the side effects, like all of that.

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.240
So let's rewind.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.680
What is a GLP one?

00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.479
So this is my understanding on a GLP one, okay?

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.400
Maybe you guys can like Google this and get more like super info.

00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.840
But technicalities.

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:42.400
What the doctor explained to me was that it kind of mimics um a hormone.

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:42.879
Yeah.

00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.159
That's like not doing what it's supposed to do, right?

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.159
So um it it kind of mimics that hormone.

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.680
So there's two GLP ones.

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.120
There's like the, there's like this, the semiglutide and the trisepatite.

00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:56.240
I've actually tried both.

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.960
Um, I was first on one that that targets like one hormone.

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.159
Um, I did absolutely horrible on it.

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:12.719
Like I was on it for I think, I don't know, I'd say like six weeks, five, six weeks, and I couldn't get past it.

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.599
It was so bad.

00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.439
And the day that I decided to quit is we went to um the Great Wood Lodge.

00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:20.879
Remember, we took the kids on a staycation.

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:21.680
Oh, dang.

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.919
And you guys were having fun and all of this, and it was so it was so much fun, but I just I couldn't be present.

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.520
I was so sick.

00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.800
I was literally, remember, we rented a caban and I was just like laying down on the bench, like shivers, everything.

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.719
I couldn't like be present.

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.479
I I just no.

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.879
And I went home the next day and I was like, you know what, it's not worth it.

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.280
I'm not even like enjoying myself.

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.319
Like, I just feel absolutely terrible.

00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.800
And so I quit that.

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:59.919
And when I talked to the new provider that I have now, like with this company, he was like, Yeah, so we need to target then like both hormones.

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.879
Because I was scared.

00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.960
I was like, I just don't want to do it anymore.

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:09.919
Um, and he's like, no, like let's try trisepatite, let's give trisepatite a chance for a couple of weeks and then we'll go from there.

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:11.199
I love it.

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.400
I love it.

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.639
People like reach out to me and they're like, I'm scared.

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.160
I'm like, just try it.

00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.360
Like, just try it.

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:18.240
Just try it.

00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:24.560
So, I mean, I have friends also, like social media friends, that are like, I'm doing so good, like on semi-glutide.

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:25.519
Like, they love that.

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.800
And maybe they don't need to be like attacking both hormones.

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.480
Maybe they just need that.

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.480
But obviously, I needed both.

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.079
So I'm doing so good.

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.399
I actually, I didn't think that not having food noise was normal.

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.519
Because my entire life I've had food noise.

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.839
Like, even when I was like a kid, I even I think back sometimes.

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.279
I'm always even telling the kids, like, do you do you want to take a snack here?

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.319
Like, I I bought these snacks, put them in your backpack just in case.

00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.000
And then, like, I'm not, I'm not hungry throughout the day.

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.319
And Kevin's like, Mom, I'm fine.

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:05.040
Like, he eats his lunch and then he says he's fine for the rest of the day until he gets home.

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.639
And I think back and I'm like, something was wrong with me since I was little because I couldn't even function at school.

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.439
I was always thinking of food.

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.920
So I think that other people think that way.

00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.439
So I tell the kids, here's here's these bars and try these.

00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:22.959
And and they're like, I don't, I don't think.

00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.920
Would you contribute something to your like mom?

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:32.639
Or it's just something Was your mom like always feeding you or always like because my sisters weren't like that.

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.959
Oh yeah, they're so you know, I I have four older siblings.

00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:52.240
Um, the oldest one, you know, she some of her life she was a little bit bigger, but she's she's lost the weight and she's been kind of like maintaining herself with like no medications, none of that, just on her own, normal.

00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:52.800
My sister.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.000
The one that lives in Mexico?

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:54.319
Yeah.

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:55.199
And then my other sister.

00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.000
Well, the diet is kind of a little bit different over there versus here.

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:03.600
Well, I lived, I lived in Mexico for eight years, and I actually got to my biggest weight over there.

00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.279
And I was broke.

00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.759
So it's just like it's that.

00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:15.759
I'm telling you, ever since I was little, I always thought that every single like couple of minutes I had to be eating something.

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:16.480
Dang.

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:17.360
All the time.

00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.279
And that's how it was at school too.

00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.319
So then I thought again, that like that the kids were like that and all that.

00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:32.720
Then I discovered, like, no, and now that I'm on um the GLP one and I don't have that food noise, I'm like, this is what normal people like are like.

00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.639
They eat and then they're not hungry until another time.

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.439
Or I used to wake up and race to the Keurig, make my coffee, and then start making breakfast.

00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.439
Like before John even woke up.

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.600
I'm like, I'm gonna eat and I'm just gonna have it ready for him already.

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:48.959
But after that, I'm gonna take a look at it.

00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.319
And then a little bit after I'm eating breakfast with him again.

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:59.920
Now, um, like not encouraging anybody to not eat breakfast, but sometimes I'm having breakfast at noon.

00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.480
Sometimes I won't have breakfast, and I'm like, you know what, I'll just have like some lunch after like today.

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.759
I wasn't hungry.

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.759
I I had um like half of my coffee.

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.920
I still make my coffee because I think it's just a habit, like my headache and all that.

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.959
So I drink like half my coffee.

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:18.240
That keeps me full.

00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.199
Then I have like those little miniature salads that they sell, like already prepped at the store.

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.639
I had one of those for lunch.

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.560
And then earlier I had four wings for dinner and some carrots.

00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.040
You had to balance it with the carrots, huh?

00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:35.759
Yeah.

00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:41.279
Um, which again, so I'm eating everything that like we used to, right?

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.480
I I do like I I don't eat like a lot of greasy, like super greasy foods anymore because it does like gross me out.

00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.560
But it's just like the before I could finish a 10-piece and some fries.

00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:04.079
And then we'll go home after this, and I'm like, ooh, like what's to snack on, or should we go get something, like, you know, really quick at the gas station or whatever?

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.040
Now it's like no, like I will have dinner at four and I am stuffed all day.

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:14.079
So so it's kind of technically like a it helps you fast in a way.

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.720
Cause you it does you're satisfied, it's like delaying the hunger.

00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.720
Because I think that's what the hormon does.

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.959
It is like processes it slower so you feel fuller for a while.

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:25.600
Yeah.

00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.040
So it's like, and I remember I used to tell you, why don't you just fast?

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:30.000
Why don't you just fast?

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.399
I'd be like, honey, do you know who I am?

00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.000
Like, I can't do that.

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.639
Well, now technically I fast because I'm half I'm I don't get anything.

00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.120
Well, I mean, I'll do like half the coffee.

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:48.720
So it's probably I'll probably have like six ounces of coffee, four to six ounces of coffee in the morning.

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.600
Um, and then I won't water and I won't have anything until like noon.

00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:59.039
And that's that thing when you're just constantly eating, you're you're just like always fatigued too.

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:10.639
Yes, especially if it's not like if it's really processed foods, you're just fatigue, mental fog, um, like you're just mood swings.

00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:12.000
Yeah, it's crazy.

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:24.559
I will say that um not only is it like ha does it have like you know the hunger and all that under control, but I I feel a lot less moody.

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.120
Um so you said this is your 13th dose?

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:29.919
Yes.

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:36.320
So from the first one to now, what has been the biggest changes you've seen?

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.200
Or has it just been like gradually getting better?

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.279
Or it was kind of just rough in the beginning, and then now it's finally starting to like really click or work?

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:54.960
Um, I would say in the beginning, it's a little bit rough because you know, you're still that person, right?

00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:09.360
Always like wanting like to eat something or or whatever, but you're not hungry, you can't get anything down, and your body is so used to all of these calories and all of this food and all of this at any time that it wants it or whatever.

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.600
Um that in the beginning, I will say that I was like a little bit more like sluggish and stuff.

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:28.799
Because obviously, if you're not getting in all those calories that you used to, um, you don't have like as much um I wouldn't say like energy because I didn't have energy like then, but it's weird.

00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.120
It almost like it makes you feel nauseous, but because at least this is what the provider told me.

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:40.799
He's like, in the beginning, it'll make you feel nauseous because your body is not used to you getting that little bit of like food in.

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:49.440
Yeah, your body is craving all the grease, all the food every like couple of minutes, the snack here and there, like all of the sugary drinks.

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:55.120
Like, I am so grossed out like by a sugary drink.

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.120
And I love like I've always been a big fan of Diet Coke.

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.159
They should sponsor me.

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:06.480
Um, and I will I've it's probably been like three days since my last Diet Coke.

00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:07.039
Really?

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.799
I have to really want it when before I could drink three Diet Cokes.

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.600
Like nothing.

00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:21.360
I've actually been so this is this is an energy drink, and I opened it around noon, took a couple of sips from the can.

00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:26.399
I was like driving around, like picking kids up from school, all that, and I'm just carrying it around.

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.559
And then at this point, I just keep putting more ice in it and ice in it and ice in it.

00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.840
Now it's probably just diluted in water because I've been carrying it around all day.

00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:42.240
Like, I I used to be able to down like one of these cans, and now it's taking me eight hours to finish one.

00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:43.120
That's crazy.

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.519
So it's you're just not you don't have that craving no more.

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.759
You're just it's it's crazy.

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:56.159
Like it is it as it sounds a little bit corny, but like it's feels so good to be free.

00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:03.279
Like you're free, you're not like a slave to to like the food, to feeding yourself like all the time.

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:03.759
Yeah.

00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:14.399
I used to feel like that used to take up a lot of my time too, because so like the making myself a breakfast, and then later I'm gonna make myself a little snack, and then I'm gonna go find a snack, or I'm gonna go buy this.

00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:14.799
Yeah.

00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:24.799
Um, and now I feel like I could be in my office working four hours, and I just have my big old jug in there with water or electrolytes, whatever.

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:29.519
And and then after a while, I'm like, oh, I have to go eat something.

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:36.080
But it's like before, I would have been out six times already in this in those four hours, getting a couple snacks in.

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:37.679
But not even satisfied, huh?

00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.600
And not satisfied and sluggish.

00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:40.879
Then I feel bloated.

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:45.840
Now I don't want to make videos like in a shape where because now I feel bloated after eating all those snacks.

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.600
Like, it's crazy.

00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.639
And now, like, now I get it.

00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.639
Also, you kind of have to train your body.

00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.399
People think that it's the easy way out.

00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.799
It's easy, you're doing it the easy way, you're taking a shot, and now you're losing all this weight.

00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.799
Like, do it the right way.

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.559
And it's like, dude, you do have to do it the right way.

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:14.720
I do just feel like this is like that tool that is really going to help you because in the beginning, the boys wanted in and out one night, and I was like, okay, let's go.

00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:21.360
Um, I was trying to be like healthier about it, so I got it the protein style wrapped in the lettuce or whatever.

00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:27.759
I was driving home and like the kids talking and all of that, it was just like it was a blur.

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.159
I got home, I went straight to the toilet.

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:39.200
I felt like it was gonna come out through like both sides, and um all night just like rocking myself, like, oh, what did I do?

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.559
Sweating and well, I think of the fast food?

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:49.759
Yeah, so the day after I I booked uh so the program that I'm on, like you have like unlimited access to a provider, nutritionist, all that.

00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:53.759
So I booked a call with uh a provider immediately, like when we went on a call.

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:59.440
I told her, She's like, she's like, even if it was like wrapped in lettuce, it's still super greasy.

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.799
Yeah, and your body's just not like tolerate tolerating it.

00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.480
Your body's like rejecting it now.

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:10.080
Yeah, so she's like, Yeah, she's like, you try to make a good choice, like you know, the protein, the lettuce, all that.

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.200
She's like, but at the end of the day, it's still really greasy.

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.879
Um, and you know, and now tell me if I ask me if I want a greasy burger.

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.399
Absolutely not.

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:21.440
That's good.

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.480
Um it's definitely been improving, yeah.

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:29.039
And and you kind of start training your body to stay away from these things.

00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:39.759
Like, before, if you would offer me something that I know is gonna make me super sluggish and sick, the the big back in me would be like, absolutely give it to me, give me two of them.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.399
And now I'm like, oh no, thanks.

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.759
Like, yeah, I can't do it.

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:44.720
That's good.

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.360
Yeah.

00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:52.080
So it's it's definitely been benefiting you, and it I feel like it's a good stepping stone for people that need help.

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:59.600
It's not gonna be the end all be all, but it's gonna be a good stepping stone, and it's gonna be up to you to be like, I got to this point.

00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:01.759
Do I keep striving ahead?

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:09.519
Or do I it's obviously a like a facilitator and aid, yeah, but it's like it's only gonna get you to a certain point.

00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:10.720
So it's up to you.

00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.320
Like you said, you're training your mind now.

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:22.720
It's like maybe getting into the gym a little bit, maybe playing a little bit of pickleball or something, and it's like then when you start doing that, you're not even craving food.

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:23.919
You're exercising.

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:35.519
So now you're not only losing weight because you're not eating, if you throw some exercise into it, and then you know, just training yourself mentally, it's you're just gonna gradually keep getting better.

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:36.000
Yeah.

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.639
So people ask me, like, um, you know, are you gonna be on it forever?

00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.200
Is it gonna just are you just always gonna like be on that?

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:49.120
And I'm like, well, the goal is to, you know, I'm not against people that stay on it.

00:15:49.360 --> 00:16:02.559
I know like a few people that are on a um like a they call it a micro dose, like it's just maintenance, it's the like very minimal amount, just to keep like, you know, reminding the body that it's there and all that.

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:08.559
And I'm like, hey, I would love to get off of it and my mind already be trained, right?

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:08.960
Yeah.

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.919
And and just be like, hey, I already know I'm not supposed to have that.

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.159
I already, you know, it's been so long that I've had a greasy burger, I don't even want one.

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.440
Yeah, you don't miss it.

00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:30.960
I do want to train my body eventually, but if I were to need to be on it, like on a microdose, I would absolutely do it because, like I said, I feel so free.

00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:42.000
Um, TMI, but since I was like 13, 14, I've always been the type of person that gets um, you know, the menstrual cycle like a couple times a year.

00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:46.159
I've never been, I've never been like consistent with it.

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.000
So clearly I have like, you know, hormonal issues, all of that.

00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:56.240
So I'm already going on my third month in a row that I've had my period.

00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.000
And this is like never before seen.

00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:02.639
I've never had a consecutive period ever in my life, and now I have them.

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.200
So it's a there's definitely some positive.

00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:14.319
So it's working for me, and I'm like, not only in like the weight loss side and all of that, it's it's benefiting me in so many ways.

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:24.880
People that I've heard, I've seen like you know, people's story times on TikTok and stuff that they were like struggling with infertility, and then they helped them.

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:34.240
The friend that put me on this, she actually told me she was like, be careful, because she knows people too that got pregnant within months of being on a GLP one.

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.799
Because it's it's you know, it's mimicking like those hormones.

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.839
So it's good, you know, with the good, there could be the bad.

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:49.680
And this is just you know, her personal experiences, nobody's a doctor here, so yeah, always consult with a professional.

00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:54.319
Please, but there's you can always hear people's experiences.

00:17:54.480 --> 00:18:06.799
So if you're thinking about getting on it, or you know, you're in the area, listen to people's experiences, consult with a professional, yeah, and then go from there.

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:14.240
But this is her story, and obviously there's pros to it, but what can you talk about some of the cons?

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:24.400
Uh well, I will say that you know, in the beginning you you're gonna experience maybe like the nauseous, um, how do you say it?

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:27.119
Nausea, nauseousness, I don't know, nausea.

00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:28.799
Um, because of that.

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:34.880
Obviously, your body's so used to taking in all these calories, now you're not taking in all these calories, so your body's like, what the heck are you doing?

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.200
Yeah.

00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:37.839
Um you know, you're gonna experience that.

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:49.680
There's some people that do say that they've been on it for months, and if um, you know, the day after their shot or 24 hours after their shot, they're sluggish, stuff like that.

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:55.200
I'm actually um seeing a lot less of that as the weeks go by.

00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:08.240
So in the beginning, the day after my shot, it was like I'm not, I'm not so I take my shot on Wednesday nights just in case, like, if I'm gonna get any like, you know, reaction, anything like that, I'm probably just gonna sleep through it.

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.480
So I take my shot every Wednesday night.

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:15.200
I used to like wake up on Thursday and I'd be like, okay, don't count on me to make dinner.

00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.240
Um, you know, I'm not picking kids up from school, all that.

00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:19.599
I I need to rest.

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:25.359
And for the last couple of weeks, I I take my normal shot Wednesday nights.

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.079
Um, and like yesterday I had a normal day.

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:29.759
I had a very productive day.

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.279
I cook dinner.

00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:36.079
So it's kind of like with time, it's almost like my body's like it's getting used to it.

00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.240
So that would be one of the cons, yeah.

00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:47.279
Like like the non-crash, um, a little bit of a crash, but I think it's just something you kind of have to like start getting over.

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:55.680
But as far as like the crash, it's been like it's been less and less the more you've been on it.

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.039
Every week it's been less.

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.759
But you you have been more productive though, right?

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:01.759
Like as far as work-wise with it?

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:02.400
I have.

00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:08.000
I will say, like, like I said, yesterday was Thursday, so it'd be the day after my shot.

00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:13.680
Usually, like, you know, in the beginning on Thursdays, I was like, I wanna like take a big old nap.

00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.200
I didn't nap all day.

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.319
I was up, like, did my normal routine stuff.

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.759
It was it was normal.

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.720
It almost feels like this is just like this is my life now.

00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:37.599
I also um a little bit of like change of topic, but I went to Costco on Wednesday and I recorded the whole like haul and somebody commented and they were like really good choices, and I hadn't noticed that.

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:46.640
But if you look at my Costco hauls from months prior and you look at yesterday's haul, you will see a huge difference in groceries.

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.279
Really?

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:49.279
A huge difference.

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.000
That's good.

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.960
The only um no, I don't even think we got like snacks.

00:20:55.119 --> 00:21:00.559
So like snacks were like the the the fatty, like protein jerkies.

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:02.720
Um, we had tons of fruit.

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:12.480
We had bell pe I got bell peppers, like um the the salads that I told you that I ate, um all of that.

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:16.400
So and the kids like these snacks too.

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:22.079
It was just like before it was like, I'm just gonna like, I'm gonna shove these in there because I might want some later too.

00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.720
Like getting all the munchy snacks.

00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:33.680
Yeah, there was not like one, and I even think, oh, I will say we got um John that per John's request, he got goldfish, yeah.

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:39.039
But it's like he's fine, like he could have a little handful of goldfish, you know, as his little treat.

00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:48.640
But other than that, like it was a great like choice of groceries because we're 13 weeks in, and I mean, like, I I can walk now around these aisles.

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:50.400
I hadn't even had breakfast yet.

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:52.559
Usually you know that's so bad.

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:58.799
If you walk into a store without eating, you know you're grabbing all of the junk food, yeah, all of that.

00:21:59.039 --> 00:21:59.599
What do they say?

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.400
Don't ever go into the grocery store hungry or something like that.

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:09.279
And no, like we um John did ask me if we can grab like pizza after I didn't have pizza.

00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.960
I had half of a hot dog.

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.519
Um, but that was it.

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:19.039
Like that was we we had really good choices, and I'm very proud of myself.

00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.920
So that's one thing you're very proud of of making healthier decisions at the grocery store.

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:32.559
Also, our our bank account is going to like that because I feel like before we'd have like$500 worth of snacks at Costco and the bill was$295.

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.680
Yes, dang.

00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.279
$295, and we had toilet paper and paper towels.

00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.599
So I feel like you know, a lot of people say, like, oh, eating healthy like is expensive.

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:52.799
Well, I mean, if you're like getting all these like expensive protein stuff and all of that, but I mean, if you're sticking to like fruits, veggies, things like that, it's not it's not exactly so.

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.519
If you could go back to the first day you took it from now, what would you tell yourself?

00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.720
That it's going to be okay and that it's going to be worth it.

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.440
Okay.

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.559
That's good.

00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.519
I mean, you're down 22 pounds, you don't have cravings.

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.039
You've been you've been more productive, more efficient.

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.759
So other than just that day after crash, like production has ramped up tenfold.

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:18.480
Yeah.

00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:20.640
I mean, I'm very happy.

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.559
Again, like I said, a lot of people will be like, oh, like, why would you want to get your period?

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:28.559
Hey, having your period is it's you're supposed to every month.

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:30.720
So that's a big difference.

00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:32.960
Especially if you especially want a baby.

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.200
If you start putting all these, like, you know, you start putting together the puzzle.

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.799
I wouldn't get my periods.

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:40.319
I would be super moody.

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.160
Um, like all of this stuff.

00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.000
Now all of that is going away, right?

00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:46.240
I'm not like, I'm not as moody.

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:52.720
I'm I'm not like I'm not feeling, you know, like the fatigue like I used to.

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.079
I'm getting my period.

00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:56.799
It's like, hey, I I needed this push.

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:59.519
Again, people think like, you know, you're taking the easy way out.

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.240
I'm not just doing this like for the weight loss.

00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:05.279
Look at all of these benefits that have come with it.

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.240
Again, you know, talk to your provider, all of that first.

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:16.400
I'm not a medical professional, but um, it's been working for me and and it can work for other people too.

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.680
People are so scared of it too because they think it's brand new.

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:24.799
People think this is people think GLP ones are brand new because they just started popping up on TikTok.

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:26.240
But GLP ones have been a thing.

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.000
They think they just rolled out rolled it out and just like, hey, try this.

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:36.880
No, they I think they actually approved it back in either two 2004 or 2005.

00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.079
So it's been a thing for 20 years already, easily.

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:48.640
Yeah, it's just people are just kind of finding out, and yeah, this is kind of the new wave of stuff to you know help people and which I think is is great.

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:55.519
Like, you know, people think like it's easy for people to tell you, go to the gym or stop eating.

00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:03.119
But like I said, I was eight, nine years old, and I was in class just constantly thinking about food.

00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:03.680
Dang.

00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:04.960
That's not normal.

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:05.759
No, it's not.

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.720
So they're basically like fiending for food.

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.519
Yeah.

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:16.319
And and now that I'm like, this is what a normal person thinks how a normal person thinks, how they feel.

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:19.279
You eat, you're full, that's it.

00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:20.559
Yeah.

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:25.440
And it's like you'll be alright if you skip a meal or two.

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:30.240
Like But in today's society, everything's just so convenient.

00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:40.000
And you can just, I mean, every every corner you turn, there's a restaurant, there's fast food, there's just endless options.

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:51.200
So it's like, I know back in our ancestor days it was a lot tougher, but like what perfect diet of just eating like once one full meal a day, if that.

00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.440
So it's like you gotta wake up and just you gotta get to work.

00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:14.319
You can't, you know, in today's society, you can wake up, just lay around, snack, and just watch TV, and it's like back in the old days, you you had to wake up and go hunt or gather and fish or do something, and it's like, imagine how like fit and fit they were.

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:14.880
Yeah.

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.759
So it's like, especially nowadays, guys, with everything, there's so many options, man.

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:27.680
Discipline, but it's a good kind of like a starter, you know?

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:29.839
Yeah, and you don't have to just depend on it.

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.400
Yeah, like you said, you could be on main instincts.

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:40.319
Let's say you want to reach a goal, you get on it and just, you know, you don't got you can't just be too dependent on it.

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:54.559
Yeah, like I said, I I think that my ultimate goal is to train my body for me to be able to get off of it and still go to Costco and get the same groceries that I got two days ago.

00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:59.759
All of the fruits, all of the vegetables, um, you know, the protein snacks, things like that.

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.559
That is the ultimate goal to be able to do it without the medication.

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:15.440
But the fact that I've been able to get this far when I've been dealing with this since I was like a little kid, it to me is good and it's and it's worth it.

00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:25.519
Um, another thing that people ask me a lot, because I do, I do, I am partnered up with the company that I get my GLP one from.

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.480
Um, discount code Real JAS,$100 off uh your first month.

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:35.039
So people are always like coming to me and they're like, Are you losing your hair?

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:41.680
Um, you know, what are you gonna do when you get like the Ozempic like skin or the Ozempic face, like all of that.

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.599
So I think when it comes to the hair, it's not the GLP one that makes you lose your hair.

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:53.680
It's the fact that you are not getting in enough protein again because you're full.

00:27:54.240 --> 00:28:00.240
So um the the doctor told me as long as you are eating your protein, you're not gonna lose your hair.

00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:08.000
And I prioritize my protein and I haven't seen um or noticed like any hair loss.

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:19.359
Um I think the easiest way to do it, like let's say you go to Chipotle and you get, I don't know, um a chicken bowl.

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:27.839
You you will prioritize first the chicken because you're going to get full extremely fast.

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:32.960
So start scraping up from the chicken and then work your way down.

00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.160
Um, obviously that would kind of be a waste of a bowl.

00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:40.880
So, like what I've been doing when I go to Chipotle, I got this from another from a creator on TikTok.

00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.119
She goes and she asks for a kid's meal.

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:44.960
Um, and it's the build your own tacos.

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:51.599
You get you get two tacos, they'll give you two tortillas, and then they'll give you chicken, and you can pick two sides.

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:58.240
So I'll do um chicken, black beans, and I'll do like either corn or salsa.

00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:04.240
And I make myself two chicken tacos: black beans, grilled chicken.

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:05.359
Like, what more do you want?

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.319
It is a packed protein lunch.

00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:16.240
Um, and same, like if I go to Chick-fil-A or something like that, I'll get the grilled chicken nuggets and a kill salad.

00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:21.279
I'll first eat the nuggets and then I'll probably get through like half of the kill salad because I'll probably be full by them.

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.559
But like prioritize your protein.

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:28.319
If you're losing your hair, it's probably because you're not prioritizing your protein.

00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:36.799
It's not a uh just like a magic button that like you still gotta Yeah, that's why when people say you're taking the easy way out.

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:44.799
Um, I'm actually working like twice as hard as like I used to, because now I have to make these choices.

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:50.480
Like, okay, you want to have this for lunch, you better make sure that that has like 40 to 50 grams of protein.

00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:54.319
I actually like um I pay a lot of attention to that now.

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:54.720
That's okay.

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:59.440
I take a picture of it, I upload it to ChatGPT, and I'm like, how many grams of protein does this have?

00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.440
Like, Yesterday, our salmon bowls had like 60 grams of protein.

00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:04.000
Is that good?

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:11.119
I have them eating, I have them eating like I have them eating like if they're on um a GLP1 too.

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:12.000
No, but it's good.

00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:13.599
The salmon bowls were delicious.

00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:15.519
Um it's it's good.

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.079
You just you also have to make good choices.

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:20.480
Yeah, that's what's crazy now.

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:22.799
Like, I can eat just to eat.

00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:31.839
Back then, I mean it's been a week, but every time you hit, you know, you partake, man, you get the munch, you just start going ham.

00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:36.559
It's like now that I stopped, I just be eating still, so it's like Yeah.

00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:44.880
I used to always be at like 130, guys, since like high school till what maybe last year?

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.519
I think last year you started gaining weight.

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:54.720
Yeah, I was for the longest, guys, 130, 135, 140 soaking wet.

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:58.079
Now I'm like almost to 170.

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:59.359
Yeah.

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:03.039
So you've gained like 40 pounds?

00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:04.880
Nah, not like 30.

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:06.160
25.

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:09.200
No, almost 40.

00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:14.799
Um what's your biggest piece of advice for somebody that's thinking about it or that's on the fence?

00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:20.720
For one, um, you know, talk to a provider.

00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:28.720
Um do your research and do it.

00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:37.039
Like if you are struggling with things like hormonal, you know, weight, all of that, do those two things.

00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.880
Do your research, talk to a provider, and get on it.

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.319
Like I said, it's not like you're not gonna go be a guinea pig.

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:46.160
This thing has been out for 20 years.

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:49.680
It's just now, like now we have, you know, we have TikTok, stuff like that.

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:50.799
So it's more out there.

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:52.880
So it's getting more popular.

00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.200
But like, why not?

00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.839
You know, some people are going to judge you for it.

00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:08.079
I get nasty comments, messages, like I upload like a video of my progress, and my message requests will be like disgusting to go through.

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:09.759
But I'm happy.

00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:18.799
Yeah, I'm happy to change, like, things are happening, not only in my weight, like with all my hormonal stuff, my menstrual cycle, all of that.

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:20.640
I could give two shits what you have to say.

00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.359
And this is like completely irrelevant.

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:25.759
She she don't like comments like that.

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:26.960
I got time.

00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:28.559
Yeah, I don't like that.

00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.000
Um, I can I got a video right now, man.

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.480
I replied to every single comment, and there's like 200 plus.

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.079
I don't stop, I don't stop until they delete it.

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.599
Stop.

00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:43.119
I'm that petty.

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:48.160
Like, I just I know I should be a bigger person, but no.

00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:51.279
Like, I don't stop till I win.

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.240
That's crazy.

00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.319
Yeah, completely irrelevant.

00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:58.160
But no, so would you would you what are your goals?

00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:03.440
Do you plan on doing this long term, or is it just just is this just a stepping stone?

00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:08.880
Uh I will say I'm definitely gonna be on it for at least I wanna do like at least a whole year.

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.200
Okay.

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.920
I want to be on it for sure, an entire year.

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:13.920
See my like progress.

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:24.400
Um, I will say, you know, a lot of people like say, you know, oh, you know, the scale, like the number on the scale, like shouldn't be like relevant or whatever.

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:25.599
To me, it is.

00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:27.839
I'm not obsessed with it, but to me it is.

00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:32.799
My goal is to be like no more than 165.

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:35.039
So I want to get to 165.

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.839
Um hopefully we can do that.

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.880
I can do that like within a year.

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:49.759
And and then I want to try to get off of it and see how my body reacts, if I can maintain that.

00:33:50.000 --> 00:34:02.720
Um, if I see that immediately, like, you know, it's I'm going back to like not getting my menstrual cycles, all of that, I will definitely try like a microdose, like other people that I know have been doing.

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.519
But my goal is to be on it for a year.

00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:17.920
Well, if if you're to lose all the weight, wouldn't you be like more healthy and like wouldn't you just routinely get the period or that's what I'm thinking?

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:18.960
That's what I'm hoping for.

00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:25.760
Because I feel like when you're not to taking care of your body, that's when your body's out of function and you don't get your menstrual cycle.

00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:27.840
You're just your body's out of whack.

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:28.320
Yeah.

00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:34.239
So once you're like down in weight, what have people say that that have been doing it a while?

00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:36.079
Is it like anything?

00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.360
Is it any is it like any habit you can't break it?

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.480
Like you're just like so dependent on it?

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:52.239
No, so I actually know two different women that are having like two totally different um, like have two different like opinions on it.

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.880
So I know someone that is on a microdose.

00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.199
If she gets off of it, her hormones like are going crazy.

00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:04.719
Um she starts gaining weight like immediately and all of that.

00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.159
So she's on a microdose.

00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:12.000
And I know another one um that is off of it.

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:29.039
She lost over a hundred pounds, she's off of it, and she says that within the year that she's been off of it, like she like 10 pounds, kind of like she she'll she can gain up to like 10 more pounds, but then she'll lose some, gain a little bit.

00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.559
And that I'm fine with that.

00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:40.239
Like, if I were to get to 160, get off of it, and then in the whole year I fluctuate between 160 and 170, I'm fine.

00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.760
I'm gonna stay off of it.

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:48.239
Like those 10 pounds aren't going to like haunt me to like get back on it, you know?

00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:57.199
So if it was the other case, like you know, I feel that my hormones are all messed up and I'm just gaining, gaining, gaining, then yeah, I would I would get back on it.

00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:05.760
But I wouldn't see why if you train, you lose the weight, if you're working out, if you train your body, this is what we're eating, this and that.

00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:10.719
Like, I wouldn't see why, you know, I would start gaining all the weight unless it's something super hormonal.

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:12.159
So it makes sense.

00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:14.880
What's your biggest goal out of this then?

00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:25.199
That I want to be part of I really wanna be part of my kids' lives.

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:31.840
The majority of my kids' lives I've been I've been sitting on the sidelines, like watching it.

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:38.239
I can't, I'm I was I'm too tired all the I was or I was like too tired all the time to do anything.

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:41.440
I don't like I wouldn't want to go on walks, I don't want to do this.

00:36:41.599 --> 00:37:04.960
Like, you know, I would go to their games and you're right there, like cheering them on, pacing back and forth, and I'm just sitting there because I'm hot, I I'm fatigued, like I don't I don't want to be able to and I think like that's my biggest thing that like I want to be healthy because I want to see the kids like live and I want them to like see me too.

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:10.079
Like, like I said, the time that we went to the Great Woufflage, like they just saw me lay there, yeah.

00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.440
And like I could have been swimming with them, I could have been doing all these things.

00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:14.880
And that was our first time there, too.

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.599
So we couldn't even that place is pretty cool too.

00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:21.760
Yeah, we should go back and see the difference of how like my experience made.

00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:24.559
Maybe that would be a good video for the GLP one.

00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:27.519
Be like, look, guys, this was me before it.

00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.400
Yeah, this is me on it, yeah.

00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:33.199
Um jumping off and not seeing, yeah.

00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:34.480
That's like the biggest thing.00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.039


I think I want I want to be present like with the kids.00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:40.159


I want them to like see me like, oh, this is a different mom.00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:43.679


Like, you know, she can get up and be active, you know.00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:48.000


If I have grandkids one day, like I, you know, I want to be able to see all that.00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.559


So mainly my health.00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:53.280


My health, and of course I want to look good.00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:55.840


I want to look good, I want to feel good, all of that.00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:56.960


That's good.00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:08.559


So, again, you guys, it's not like completely about the number on the scale, it's more about the freedom and just feeling good, looking good, all of that.00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:12.320


Um, if anybody is interested, message me.00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:16.719


I do have it like on my Ling Tree, the company that I'm going through.00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:18.320


Um, it's a great company.00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:25.360


You have unlimited access to a provider, a nutritionist, an entire community that literally holds your hand through the entire process.00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:26.960


Um, you don't even have to leave your house.00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.559


You can do everything from home, you know, fill out everything from home.00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:37.119


Literally takes five minutes, jump on a call with a provider, and then you can have the medication at your door within the next week.00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.559


At the end of the day, guys, who gives a damn what anybody thinks?00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:41.280


Exactly.00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:56.880


If you think that this can help facilitate you to have a better life, uh more prosperous life, to be in your kids' family, to be, you know, in your kids' life long term actively, like, do it.00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:08.559


Do it, don't think about what people think, just consult with a professional and maybe maybe this is the stepping stone you need to thrust you into the your new self.00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:09.519


So, you know.00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:27.440


So if this episode has brought you clarity or encouragement, anything like that to um start a GLP one or know anybody that has been wanting to start one, uh, share this episode with them and yeah, put it in the comments if you have any questions.00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:31.599
