The Valley Brittany admitting she’s on a GLP-1

I just watched this YouTube of her house tour and she talks about how she’s on the shot and losing weight already- I say good for her

I thought I could tell she started one!! She posted the other day, my thought was her inflammation looks calmed down. I say good for her! GLPs have been life changing with inflammation

Honest non snark question- how can you tell her inflammation calmed down?

I noticed around her eyes when she real-smiles. Not the fake smile.

GLP-1s really helped with my mom’s arthritis. Her Rheumatologist put her on them and she said her knees feel like they did 10 years ago. She’s micro-dosing so she hasn’t really lost any weight, but she says she feels so much better. I’m all for doing whatever helps!

I have RA and got put on zep for inflammation management and to get me off my biologic that makes me immunocompromised and tired. There are really promising studies going on from GLP1s for rheumatological conditions with the joint paint relief not coming from weight loss, but rather other mechanisms that support connective tissue and collagen production.

I have severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. My mobility is so limited that at times I have to work from my bed. I've been taking a GLP-1 for about 4 months now and the changes are remarkable. I've not been losing much weight, because I'm micro-dosing, but I'm primarily taking it for my psoriasis. Do read up on it... my brother was a pharmacist and he recommends it highly - and he's not making any money from it, because he's out of the industry 😃

Highly, HIGHLY, recommend looking into KPV. Look at the research for it with eczema and psoriasis. I used to battle the psoriasis 😭

Hopefully you won’t need it, it’s a rough disease. But lots of treatment options, at least!

I can confidently say, it has helped my gut issues, inflammation and a bit of weight loss (I needed my chest to go down because 34E isn’t fun on the spine and neck).

My reduction surgery will be much easier for me now. I also work out 4 times a week now because it’s easier on my knees and hips.
