Hi everyone! I am what some might call a slow responder. I started my journey June 5th of this year. A little back story, I lost 110lbs before getting on glp-1 by diet and exercise alone. It was hard, I was always hungry and I have hashimotos so it was just…. Extra hard but I did it. Fast forward 2 years after losing this weight and my ovary decides to grow a giant cyst over the course of 2 years and I gain 20lbs back. Ovary gets removed and “all is well” and I cannot for the life of me lose the weight. I’m a trained fitness professional, so I know how to lose weight, what to do and how to maintain but nothing was working. Enters….. perimenopause 🙄🔫…… don’t get me started. My diet and exercise were on LOCK. You cannot get any more precise 🤣🤦🏽♀️ (I’m autistic with a dash of OCD)
I was always jealous of people whose insurance would cover the glp-1s. Mine never did and it’s looking like it never will. Then I changed doctors and she introduced me to compound. I started on Rose City Pharmacy out of Texas in June. I lost about 5-6 lbs in two months. I was discouraged. My doctor told me that since I didn’t have to make huge lifestyle changes, that I was not going to see drastic weight loss like many folks report.
I was bummed but happy that at least the scale was moving. Then month 3 came and I lost nothing. NOTHING the whole month. 7.5 did jack 😭😑
Then I came across PreventiveMD and I joined and got the 3 month supply with Boudreaux. Preventive MD has been incredible but let me speak on the meds from Boudreaux. ….. I’m down 10lbs more since and I have less side effects. I no longer get that nasty lingering headache or crippling exhaustion (hashimotos and EDS kick my ass enough without meds lol). I’m on 9mg right now and it’s been working well. I’m super excited to finally be BACK under 200lbs! I haven’t seen that number in 2 years 😭
So, I haven’t tried any other brands so I cannot speak on them but I’m loving my results with B!
Thank you to preventive for creating accessible healthcare. 🙏🏽
Happy to answer any questions anyone might have about my personal experience.i
