In this episode, I’m joined by Melissa Gibson — known as @thegibbyup — for an honest and eye-opening conversation about tirzepatide, microdosing, and what it really means to take control of your own health in a system that often misunderstands you.Melissa shares her personal journey with autoimmune issues, weight gain, and inflammation — and how microdosing tirzepatide helped her improve mobility, reduce pain, and rebuild her sense of well-being.We talk about the misconceptions surrounding GLP-1 medications, the importance of individualized dosing, and why self-advocacy and research are crucial for anyone exploring these treatments.Our discussion also dives into societal stigma, the cost of access, and how GLP-1s are reshaping conversations about body image, health, and value.This is a grounded, stigma-free conversation about empowerment, biology, and the freedom that comes with understanding your body.This podcast shares lived experiences and opinions.
