My story

In August 2023 I had knee surgery and gained about 30 lbs. It came on FAST.

Despite my nutrition and commitment to movement I could not drop any weight and I became angry and depressed.

I had NEVER experienced this kind of weight gain NOR the inability to drop it.
 
Was it my age? Peri-menopause? Months of limited mobility and depression? YES.
 
I hated the way I felt. It was hard to see myself in photos. Pole was harder. Playing with my son was uncomfortable. Clothes didn't fit. UGH. THIS WAS NOT OK.

And I did not want to workout harder, get a "tummy tuck," commit to a strict nutrition plan, count macros, cut foods, fast, cleanse, have no joy, and be miserable.
 
So, after talking to MANY people who were on GLP-1s to my surprise - like so many people use this! No one talks about it! I decided to give it a try. (from VYORA, an excellent, small, women-run company with licensed practitioners and a great support community and speedy responses!)
 
Well, it worked. The weight melted away and I returned to my personal homeostasis. That was 3 years ago. 
 
I know the shame, curiosity, and excitement around this. I get it. I felt it. It’s all valid. It’s all ok! No judgement, no shame here EVER. 
 
This is one of the best things I did for myself. I am grateful AF for it. And I know I am not alone. It's just really nice to know this option is here with 100% certainty it works with so much noise, options, and confusion out there.

FAQs

Q: What IS a GLP-1?
A: GLP-1s are simply a supplemental form of a hormone your body already makes to regulate appetite, fullness, and blood sugar. 

They help your brain receive clearer satiety signals so your habits feel aligned rather than effortful.

It helps me to explain it this way to curious minds…

It is similar to how antidepressants support neurotransmitter balance even if someone is generally optimistic, or how glasses help you see clearly even if you can squint. 

You are not replacing effort. You are allowing the biology to support the work you already do.

Q: How can I get it? I don't have a high enough BMI.
A: I didn't either. When you go HERE and start the GLP-1 assessment, and your BMI is 21 or under, you will only be approved for a micro-dose of Tirzepatide, which is what I recommend anyway. Then it's delivered straight to your door. You don't have to keep asking/begging your doctor for it or wear a weight vest at your next check-up (true stories).

Q: What are the side effects?
A: For me just very short waves of nausea. Another reason I recommend micro-dosing = little to no side effects.

Q: Do you have to been it forever?
A: No. Once I dropped 30 lbs I tapered my doses and then tapered frequency. I still keep some around if/when needed. And I am 100% ok with using it intermittently for life bc of all the brain, heart, weight, and inflammation benefits. I know it's good for me in the long run.

Q: Did you lose muscle?
A: No. That would've been a hard stop for me and what I do.

Q: Are they 3rd-party-tested?
A: YES.Quality is non-negotiable at Vyora. Vyora strictly works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies in the United States. These are state-licensed, pharmacist-run facilities that operate under strict federal and state regulations, and every prescription is compounded specifically for an individual patient. They don't cut corners, ever.

Q: Is it expensive?
A: I mean, this is all relative. I MAKE ROOM for this in my budget. It's a non-negotiable now.

When you go here, use the code STANEK10 and get a micro-dose you get two months' worth for $359. That's $179/month. I know I end up saving money on a GLP-1 because I am not eating or drinking as much. Now, I also stretch that two months' worth to 3-4 months, so it's even more affordable. You don't have to do it every week. You can also cut your micro-dose in half. YOU are in control.

Q: Is it a shot?
A: Yes. a very very teeny tiny one! You won't feel a thing! I promise there are more painful things you do in a week! Here's a video of me doing it!

Q: What workouts do you do?
A: In addition to teaching 4-10 pole classes/week I have always worked out 4-5x/week. Recently low-impact programs like Barre and Pilates have been perfect for the strength, elongation, and sanity I need! I still do BODi programs at home. But any will do! Lifting weights, in any way, is important.

Q: What is the support like?
A: This is possibly my favorite part of Vyora, and the most valuable, in my opinion. You will hace a patient portal with direct access to your licensed provider who you can talk to about your dosage, etc. But there is also a FB Community Support Group which I LOVE. The owners and the in-house nutritionist is ALWAYS available and they respond so quickly. Plus you can connect with hundreds of others and learn, bond from them. We share tips, recipes, ask each other questions about pooping, breast-feeding, weening off, plateaus...everything!
