💉 GLP-1 Pros, Cons & The Truth Nobody Tells You | 7 Years on Saxenda Part 2 | Reinventing Rumbley
I kept 60-70 pounds off for nearly seven years. Here's everything I wish I had known before I started. 👇
In Part 2 of this honest, no-holds-barred GLP-1 conversation, Christina picks up right where she left off — this time going deep on the real pros and cons of the three main types of GLP-1s, doing a live show and tell with her actual Saxenda pen, and sharing the final takeaways from seven years of daily injections that changed her life.
If you haven't watched Part 1 yet, pause and go watch that first — this episode builds directly on it.
In this episode Christina covers:
The three GLP-1s broken down simply: Liraglutide (Saxenda/Victoza), Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) — and why they are NOT all the same
A live show and tell with her actual Saxenda pen — the needle size, how she does it, where she injects, and what it actually feels like
The full pros list: significant weight loss, reduced food obsession, better blood sugar, less emotional eating, reduced inflammation, improved confidence and why she wouldn't have started this podcast at 203 pounds
The real cons: gastro issues, muscle loss, bone density reduction, emotional flattening, dopamine suppression, libido changes and the foods you absolutely cannot eat on this medication
The weight regain reality: 50-70% of people regain the weight within a year of stopping — and why Christina hasn't gone off it
Up to 25-30% of weight lost on GLP-1s can come from muscle — and why that scared her into finally talking about strength training
The stomach paralysis side effect nobody warns you about — and why you MUST get off your GLP-1 before any surgery
Why she pays $25 with insurance now versus $1,500 a month without it — and the Canada workaround that kept her on it
Why she would never recommend ordering these online without a doctor
Her final honest takeaway: GLP-1 didn't save her. She wasn't lost. She just needed help — and it gave her a fighting chance to finally work WITH her body instead of against it
This is not a sponsored episode. This is not medical advice. This is seven years of lived experience, hard lessons, and the conversation Christina wishes she had before she started. 🤍
