A little dose of love for our sponsor 💌 Thank you to My Companion Box for sponsoring this episode of The Dose of It! If you want to check them out or sign up, visit mycompanionbox.com.The internet loves to call GLP-1 users lazy, say we “took the easy way out,” or act like our progress somehow counts less because medication was part of the journey. This week, Priss and Tay are getting into why that argument falls apart the second you actually understand what living with food noise, obesity, and a GLP-1 journey can look like.What starts as a conversation about online hate quickly turns into something much deeper: the mental load of weight loss, the shame attached to using medication, and all of the life-changing wins that have absolutely nothing to do with the number on the scale.Priss opens up about what it was like having constant food noise running in the background of her life and what changed when that noise finally got quieter. Tay shares how GLP-1s helped change her relationship with food, her confidence, and even the way she experiences everyday life.In this episode, Priss and Tay talk about:Why “just eat less” is way more complicated than people make it soundWhat food noise actually feels like when it controls so much of your dayWhy using a GLP-1 doesn’t mean you aren’t putting in the workHow medication, movement, nutrition, and mental health can all exist in the same journeyThe non-scale victories nobody prepares you for — planes, restaurant booths, amusement park rides, clothes, last-minute Halloween costumes, and moreConfidence after major weight loss and the weird imposter syndrome that can come with changing so muchReplacing old coping mechanisms with movement, self-care, and things that actually make you feel goodWhy nobody should have to suffer more just to prove their progress is “valid”Because the part of this conversation people tend to leave out is the emotional side.Changing your body doesn’t automatically change the way your brain sees you. Losing weight doesn’t erase years of insecurity overnight. And choosing to use a tool that makes your health journey more manageable does not take away from everything you’ve accomplished.If you’ve ever felt judged for using a GLP-1, questioned whether your progress “counts,” or felt like you needed to defend the way you chose to improve your health, this episode is for you.And even if you’ve never taken a GLP-1, this conversation is an honest look at what a major body and lifestyle transformation can actually involve beyond the before-and-after photos.At the end of the day, your health is not a morality contest.You do not owe anyone suffering for your success. 💊✨ SIGN UP FOR OUR MERCH LAUNCH - https://the-dose-of-it-shop.fourthwall.com#TheDoseOfIt #GLP1Journey #WeightLossJourney #FoodNoise #NonScaleVictories #WellnessJourney #GLP1Community #BodyConfidence

Can people REALLY change? And is love actually enough to make a relationship work? 👀💗 This week on The Dose of It, Tay and Priss are getting into all things LOVE, dating, boundaries, and the messy reality of navigating relationships in today's world. From debating whether people can truly change to discussing why loving someone doesn't always mean they're right for you, we're having the conversations that might just hit a little too close to home. 😅 We also dive into what dating looks like when your life is shared online. How much of your relationship should you post? Is keeping things private the same as keeping them a secret? And when does protecting your peace turn into hiding parts of your life? Plus, we're answering a listener's prescription about navigating dating while keeping their GLP-1 journey private. Because let's be real, nobody should feel pressured to share every personal detail before they're ready. As always, expect plenty of laughs, a little chaos, some questionable opinions, and the kind of honest girl talk you can always count on from us. 💗 Whether you're single, dating, in a relationship, or just trying to figure out what you actually want, this episode is for YOU.

From health scares and family history to PCOS, struggling with food, losing confidence, and feeling uncomfortable in our own bodies, we're talking about the moments that made us realize something had to change. We get into the fears we had before starting medication, what it actually felt like taking that first shot, the things we wish we knew about semaglutide and tirzepatide, and how our journeys have looked completely different. Because here's the thing: You don't have to wait until you're completely fearless to make a change. Sometimes you just have to do it scared. 🥹 We also talk about comparison, food noise, finding confidence again, and why someone else's timeline has absolutely nothing to do with YOUR progress. Whether you're just starting your journey, considering your options, or already somewhere along the way, we hope this episode reminds you that it's never too late to start showing up for yourself. 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday and Friday! 💗 Your favorite Dosies, Priss & Tay #TheDoseOfIt #GLP1Journey #WeightLossJourney #Semaglutide #Tirzepatide #WeightLossPodcast #GLP1Community #WeightLossSupport
Funny how the people who never cared about your health suddenly have SO much to say when you start doing something about it. 👀 This week on The Dose of It, Priss and Tay are talking about the judgment, unsolicited advice, and stigma that come with using GLP1 medications. From backhanded compliments and passive-aggressive comments to AI-edited body photos and strangers who think they know your body better than you do, we're getting into ALL of it. We talk about the difference between genuine concern and criticism, why asking for help doesn't make you weak, and how exhausting it can be to constantly defend your personal health decisions. Priss opens up about how her journey has changed so much more than just the number on the scale, while Tay shares her experiences with online trolls, judgment, and learning that she doesn't owe anyone an explanation. Because at the end of the day, your health journey isn't up for public debate. Whether you're on a GLP-1, considering one, or just tired of people having opinions about your body, this episode is for you. 💗 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday and Friday! #TheDoseOfIt #PrissAndTay #GLP1Journey #GLP1Community #WeightLossJourney #WeightLossPodcast #GLP1Support #HealthJourney #BodyPositivity #WeightLossStigma #UnsolicitedAdvice #SelfConfidence #PodcastEpisode #WomenWhoPodcast #HealthAndWellness
Priss and Tay have lost over 300 pounds combined, but that doesn’t mean motivation magically stays high or that the mental side of the journey gets easier. This week, they’re talking about what it actually looks like to keep showing up through anxiety, seasonal sadness, burnout, food guilt, changing routines, and the days when you just want to stay on the couch. They get into learning the difference between having a bad day and actually falling off track, letting go of the pressure to constantly “have it together,” and remembering that progress doesn’t have to look perfect. Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do isn’t push harder — it’s give yourself a little grace and keep going. 💚 This episode is sponsored by Fridays.

Small circles, bigger boundaries, and dating stories that make you rethink who you let into your life. Priss and Tay get honest about friendship, trust, heartbreak, dating after weight loss, and what happens when relationships start making you feel like a smaller version of yourself. What starts as a chaotic card-draw episode turns into a real conversation about adult friendship breakups, protecting your peace, learning who you can truly lean on, and why having a small circle isn’t always a bad thing. They also open up about past relationships that became controlling, changing yourself to keep someone else happy, and the freedom that comes with finally choosing authenticity over approval. If you’ve ever questioned your friendships, your dating standards, or whether your circle is “too small,” this episode is for you. Funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and maybe a little healing. 💊🩷 #TheDoseOfIt #AdultFriendships #FriendshipBreakups #ProtectYourPeace #HealthyBoundaries #DatingAfterHeartbreak #DatingAfterWeightLoss #RelationshipTalk #ChoosingYourself #SelfWorth #HealingJourney #GirlTalkPodcast #WeightLossJourney #Dosies
