I was not sure what to think about GLP 1’s when they first came out except for this- what an amazing drug for obese people. What a life saving drug this can be for so many!
Then many started using them for a little weight loss, the last 10-15 lbs and I admit I judged people for this which is wrong plain and simple.
But my feelings changed the most when I heard Oprah and Serena Williams on a podcast. Oprah had food noise her entire life. The first day she took the GLP 1, that disappeared. She couldn’t believe that she had so much more to think about than food.
Many people probably had the same thoughts as I did- Oprah has a gazillion dollars, she can have a chef, a personal trainer- everything to manage her weight. But she couldn’t outrun the food noise.
Same for Serena Williams who worked out 8 hours a day. She could not exercise more. She felt as out of control as Oprah.
Now they both feel so much better in their own skin- who am I to judge this? I feel like an idiot for every having a bad opinion of this!
Changing my mind even more was a bestie from high school who’s dr. put her on it to help with her blood sugar issues. 3 months later, every single blood marker was better.
Tony Robbins has said everyone should be on this medication as it can help prevent Alzheimer’s, reduces the risks of heart attacks and strokes,and supports the kidneys and liver.
I have a few friends who are big deals in the health/wellness worlds, they both micro-dose to get these benefits!
I’m kicking that judgy idiot(me) to the corner. This can be a life saving medications for many, this can help millions with other issues besides their weight, and I am officially taking my judgy hat off and here to tell you I was wrong and I’m going to try my best to stop that as of right now!
Enjoy your day~
