About This Podcast

GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now, but real, honest conversations about what it’s actually like to be on them… are not. And it’s time we talk about it. Dose of Reality is a personal look at my life on GLP-1 medication. This isn’t a medical podcast. I’m not a doctor, nor giving medical advice. I’m inviting you to share in my experiences…shot by shot. I’m here to talk about the questions, the emotions, the stigma, the wins, the doubts, and hopefully bring a little humor, so if you’re curious, considering it, or already in this journey, come listen.
