Jocelyn struggled with her weight, especially postpartum. She did everything she though was right, including hiring a personal trainer and a nutritionist, but nothing seemed to work. Her turning point was a conversation with her doctor that led her to GLP-1s and Ivy Rx for affordable treatment.
“This is your life. If you want to get on a GLP-1, don’t let anyone hold you back.”
What made you take the leap to try a GLP-1? Did you struggle with dieting and other attempts that didn't work for you?
Prior to starting a GLP-1, I had always struggled with my weight especially postpartum. Weight has been a topic for me going way back.
I did everything I was supposed to do like paying personal trainers, having a nutritionist, but it all came down to the fact that I was prediabetic and just truthfully didn’t have the time or energy to try to figure it out anymore.
Once my doctor suggested a GLP-1, I felt so much relief.
“I tell people all the time that this medication changed my life.”
Why did you decide to go with Ivy Rx for your treatment?
I was beyond frustrated with my insurance denying my doctors referral, but I was determined to find a way.
After researching different telehealth companies and comparing prices, I landed on Ivy Rx and I’ve been with them for 9 months now!
“By the end of month two, I was feeling so confident! It was a really big moment to get out of the 200s and down into the 190s.”
How did you initially feel week 1 of taking your GLP-1 treatment and what changes did you notice over time (i.e. week 2, a month in, and so forth)?
Week 1 I felt some nausea, mild headaches and fatigue.
By week 2 the nausea and headaches had settled down.
By week 4 I knew that the first 24 hours after injection day, I’d need some rest. That’s when I figured out to inject at night to curb those side effects. I was feeling confident by the end of week 4 because I saw the positive ways my body was responding to the GLP-1.
By month 3, everyone around me noticed I looked different and by month 6 my transformation was obvious.
How do you feel about reaching your goals and what advice would you share with anyone thinking about trying a GLP1?
My life has changed because of this medication.
I didn’t realize how much I was letting my weight hold me back from the way I’d like to dress, how I show up for others, and even my activity level.
I have so much energy which is helpful as a mom of a toddler.
My advice to anyone starting a GLP-1 would be to trust the process, have patience because you’re worth the wait, and focus on creating sustainable long term healthy habits.
