✨ Week 6 Update – My Peri Health Journey (Please Read With Kindness) ✨
We’re at week 6.
No changes to progesterone.
Still on high-dose DHA and CoQ10.
Still rebuilding my foundation.
But today, I’m adding micro-dosed tirzepatide — and I want to be very clear about why.
My mitochondria are struggling.
I’ve been packing weight on quickly.
Inflammation is high.
I’m insulin resistant.
Cortisol is elevated.
And after almost six years of fighting my body, I’m ready to stop fighting and start supporting it.
This decision didn’t come lightly. I’ve spent weeks researching, praying, questioning, and talking through this with my physician — a woman I trust like family. She doesn’t throw things at the wall and hope something sticks. She looks at data, patterns, history, and the whole human sitting in front of her. And together, we made this call.
This isn’t a shortcut.
This isn’t giving up.
This isn’t chasing thin.
This is me choosing to reduce metabolic pressure so my body can finally heal instead of constantly surviving.
I’m still doing the work:
• hormones
• nutrition
• movement
• nervous system regulation
• supplements
• patience
Tirzepatide is simply a tool in a much bigger plan — not the plan itself.
I’m sharing this because I believe in transparency, and I also want to be clear: I’m open to genuine questions, support, and respectful conversation… but I’m not open to negativity or shame for choosing a path that supports my health and my life.
After six years of feeling like I lost myself, I’m ready to feel like me again — and this is what my journey looks like right now.
Thank you for walking this with me 🤍
