🪞I want to be very clear and transparent. 🙄I am NOT on any form of medically assisted weight loss. 💉I have NEVER been on a GLP-1. 💌 Over a year ago, I shared *privately* with our group that during an extremely stressful period in my law career, I briefly used a very low dose of medically assisted weight loss (NOT GLP-1) to help break through a period of stress-induced weight gain. It lasted six weeks—and I have not used it in over 16 months. 🌿What you’re seeing now is NOT the result of medication. It is the result of: ✨ supporting my blood sugar ✨ supporting my hormones ✨ calming my nervous system ✨ choosing gentle, sustainable wellness 💁🏼‍♀️I want to be clear about one more thing: 🙌🏼I am 100% SUPPORTIVE of medically assisted weight loss. It has helped many women and solved real health issues for many people. If you are on a medically assisted weight loss, I am cheering you on and here to support you! 🍃I simply discovered that I didn’t need it—because I learned how to support my body in a way that works long-term, without pharmaceuticals. 💊💉 🚫No deprivation. 🚫No punishment. ✅Just giving my body what it needs. 🤍 This is the approach I share here: 📉10 Pounds Down in December 🌿Naturally 🫣… and a photo of no-makeup me post-workout with a messy bun. 🥳Cheering us ALL on in 2026, Valarie WeightLossOver40 WomenOver40 menopausebelly MidlifeWomen WellnessOver40 LTKselfcare LTKOver40 LTKfitnessgoals
