GLP-1s for weight loss and, full disclosure, I am not jumping on a bandwagon for likes or engagement here
I’ve been in the West Yorkshire ICB Excess Weight & Obesity Strategy Working Group for over 2 years, so I know the background of it all and I knew about Wegovy & Mounjaro hitting the UK before a lot of GPs did (actually true 😳)
I’ve watched a lot of MJ user’s personal wellbeing journeys, challenges and successes…including for their physical, mental and social health.
As always, with over 1.5 million people in the UK alone, now buying MJ privately and jabbing weekly, there’s going to be a mixed bag of good & bad
I’m often asked for my advice & opinions, especially since I started doing my Emotional & Binge Eating Disorder Specialist Training
And it’s always the same (but ultimately your business alone). If you’ve tried absolutely everything else (and most absolutely have)
And you’re going to combine it with better informed food choices (because if you’re eating less, it needs to be what your body needs it to be to be healthy, not just thinner - there’s a difference)
And you’re going to train so that you build lean muscle mass whilst losing fat (which improves your metabolism) and walk more for heart health 💗
And you have no underlying health issues that it might worsen
And you can afford it now that the prices for the highest doses are about to be almost double at £300 per month…
Then go for it! 💥 If it’s going to be the kickstart to the change that you want for living a longer and more importantly, healthier life with your loved ones 💗
This is not in any way an endorsement and you will still have work to do if you want MJ to be an aid, rather than a lifelong commitment or a quick fix for that event you want to look thinner at.
It’s a drug at the end of the day so please do your due diligence and take care out there 😘😘😘
