💉Injection Day Essentials
These are the things that make injection days easier for me. Nothing fancy (except the AutoJect 2, but that is essential to me! 😂), just the supplies I actually use every week and always make sure I have on hand.
I could NOT do my GLP1 injection without my Autoject2! I have terrible needle anxiety, and this little device makes giving myself an injection SO much easier. I load my syringe into it, press it against my skin and push the button. No staring at a ne...

💧Hydration and Electrolytes
Hydration has been HUGE for me on a GLP1. I quickly learned that plain water wasn’t always enough. These are the things that help me stay ahead of that blah, tired, achey, drained, under-hydrated feeling.
Ridiculously large water bottle helps me keep track of my 100-120oz of water I drink each day. Hydration station!

Electrolytes are a MUST HAVE when taking a GLP1. So important to stay hydrated, even if you don't have any GLP1 side effects. My favorite is the Pina Colada!

😵💫 GLP1 Side Effect Survival Kit
GLP1 side effects can be… interesting. 😂 These are the things I personally reach for when reflux, dry mouth, constipation, or one of those general “I just feel blah” days shows up.
A magnesium complex that keeps me regular (something I never worried about before the GLP1 😬) and helps me sleep 😴

Protein AND collagen in one scoop? Yes please! 😂 Getting enough protein on a GLP1 can be a challenge, and after dealing with hair shedding, I’m much more intentional about supporting my hair and nails too. I love that I can easily add this to foods ...
