Quick reminder — you get to determine who you share your research journey with. Yesterday, like many of you, I was sitting around watching the Super Bowl and saw the commercials for compounding pharmacies like Hims and Hers. Every time a GLP-1 commercial popped on, I saw all the different reactions across the room. Some people had no reaction at all, while others had plenty of comments to make about GLP-1s. To be honest, if someone has never been in a situation where they can't control their appetite or food noise to the point where it takes over their life, they'll never understand peptides or GLP-1s. There were comments like "that's the fat loss pill" or "that's the drug for overweight people." Just remember that everybody has different experiences and struggles. A lot of hunger is genetically driven. I know many of us have tried going the natural route — just eat less, just have more willpower — but our genetics literally drive us to eat more. That's not a character flaw. That's biology. Did I feel like I needed to share with anybody how much GLP-1's changed my life? No. Because sometimes it's just not worth explaining to people who would never understand. And if people don't support your journey to fixing your health, they don't deserve to be a part of your life in my opinion. Don't feel bad about other people's comments. They'll never understand until they're in the exact position you were in, and chances are that's never going to happen. That's okay. It's not their journey. You're responsible for your own research, and you also get to decide who you share that with. Protect your peace.
