Hi, I’m Carrie and welcome back to The Elevated Dose Podcast.

This week’s episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded. It’s the story of what happens after the breakthrough; when the medication works, the numbers normalize, and yet your body still whispers that something isn’t finished.

I pick up right where Episode 1 left off, June 2022 the day I took my very first Ozempic injection thinking, this might finally be it. What follows is three years of trying, failing, healing, and learning what “better” really means.

For me, The Shift isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about what happens when you finally reach the goal you dreamed of and realize there’s still more to uncover underneath.

In this episode, I talk about:

• My full year on Ozempic at 0.25–0.5 mg

• The Trulicity year that came after

• The June 2024 switch to Mounjaro

• The August 2024 MASH diagnosis

• The September 2025 fibromyalgia diagnosis

This episode is raw and honest because as much as GLP-1s changed my life, they didn’t fix everything.

And learning to accept that truth has been its own form of healing.
