💉 I've Been on a GLP-1 for 7 Years & Nobody Talks About This Part | Saxenda, PCOS & My Honest Story | Reinventing Rumbley
I weighed 203 pounds. I had a root meniscus tear from weight bearing alone. I was hiding in every family photo. And I had tried absolutely everything. 👇
This is the episode Christina has never fully told before — and she's going there completely.
Seven years ago, before Ozempic was a household name, before the GLP-1 conversation exploded, Christina's doctor put her on Saxenda — a liraglutide GLP-1 injection. She had PCOS and insulin resistance, couldn't lose weight no matter what she tried, and was gaining five to seven pounds every year regardless of trainers, calorie counting, or diets.
Today she's lost 60-75 pounds and is sitting at a size eight. And she has a LOT to say about the journey.
In this episode Christina breaks down:
Her full personal story of weight gain, PCOS, and insulin resistance — and why diet and exercise alone couldn't fix it
The three main types of GLP-1s: Liraglutide (Saxenda/Victoza), Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy), and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) — and the real differences between them
What food noise actually is — and why she didn't even know she had it until it shut off
The side effects nobody fully prepares you for: gastro issues, nausea, dopamine suppression, lowered libido, and why alcohol suddenly does nothing for her
The thing her doctor didn't warn her about that she wishes she'd known from day one: massive muscle and bone loss
Why she now has osteopenia in one hip — and what she believes is the connection to seven years on a GLP-1
What she'd do differently if she started over today
The emotional side of losing 60+ pounds — the body dysmorphia, the hiding in pictures, the moments of confidence and the moments of cruelty toward herself
Why she's still not working out as much as she should — and why she's finally getting honest about that
The difference between being at your goal weight and actually feeling good in your body
Why she's staying on maintenance at 0.6mg instead of going off it — and what happens when people stop cold turkey
Her take on celebrities and GLP-1s — without naming names but saying everything that needs to be said
This is not a sponsored episode. This is not medical advice. This is one woman's raw, real, seven-year journey with a medication that changed her life — and an honest conversation about everything that comes with it. The good, the bad, the meh, and the muscle loss. 💊
Part 2 is coming — pros, cons, and everything else.
