Body Correctional Facility - IV BAR

GLP-1 OVERDOSING
Yes, the GLP-1/GLP-3s have their place. Yes, I have used them.
BUTTTTTT, you guys have to be careful. Follow your provider's instructions to the letter!
If you buy yours without proper supervision, you absolutely CANNOT be guessing how to mix and dose yourself. You CANNOT be increasing your dose outside of your provider's instructions.
You have NO idea how many people I have helped that have impatiently overdosed themselves.
They are very nauseated, cannot eat or drink for days at a time, staying in the bed, due to absolutely no energy.

I promise I did not take these shots to the nail salon and ask for the "cat eye effect" for this exact color. But, here we are. Barney Le

OVER 50?

Listen. You cannot keep treating your body like you’re 27, fueled by Diet Coke, spite, four hours of sleep and a questionable gas-station burrito — and then act personally betrayed when you feel like a haunted Victorian woman by 3 PM.

We are in the CONSEQUENCES HAVE ARRIVED portion of the program.

Here are 7 hard truths you need to wrap your aging little brain around if you’d like to remain upright, mobile and reasonably unmedicated for as long as possible:

1. SLEEP IS NOW A MEDICAL NECESSITY.

Remember when you could stay out until 2 AM, sleep four hours, go to work and somehow still have functioning organs?

THOSE DAYS ARE DEAD.

Now if I get five hours of sleep, I wake up looking like I fought in the Civil War.

Protect your sleep like someone is trying to steal it.

Because your life quite literally depends on it.

2. YOU CANNOT EAT LIKE A RACCOON ANYMORE.

Yes, diet matters.

At 22, you could eat Taco Bell at midnight and wake up ready to conquer the world.

At 53, three mozzarella sticks can trigger a gastrointestinal hostage situation that requires magnesium, digestive enzymes, prayer and stretchy pants.

Eat protein. Eat vegetables. Drink water.

Your body is no longer accepting applications for nonsense.

3. ALCOHOL IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

I know. Rude.

But alcohol dehydrates you, disrupts sleep and generally makes your body work harder.

And let’s face it….

WE ARE ALREADY DRYING UP LIKE GAS-STATION BEEF JERKY.

Your skin is dry.

Your eyes are dry.

Your va**na is filing paperwork with FEMA.

We do not need Chardonnay “helping”

4. STRESS WILL EAT YOU ALIVE.

That toxic friend?

BYE.

The family member who turns every holiday into an episode of Dateline?

BOUNDARIES.

The job that makes you fantasize about driving directly past work and continuing until you reach Mexico?

MAYBE PAY ATTENTION TO THAT.

Your nervous system is tired.

Stop giving VIP access to people who raise your cortisol.

5. YOU HAVE TO MOVE YOUR BODY.

Lift heavy things.

Stretch.

Walk.

Jump.

Dance in your kitchen.

Carry groceries in one trip like the stubborn Gen-X’er God created you to be.

Your muscles and bones are basically saying:

“USE US OR LOSE US, SUSAN.”

Strength training is no longer about looking hot in jeans.

It’s about being 80 and still able to get yourself off the toilet without summoning the fire department.

6. JOY IS NOT OPTIONAL.

Laugh until you p*e a little.

Take the trip.

Sit in the sunshine.

Plant the garden.

Buy the ridiculous shoes.

Start painting.

Reconsider the soul-sucking job.

Start a neighborhood coalition against leaf blowers at 7am.

Launch a national campaign to criminalize loud chewing.

I don’t care.

DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU DELIGHTED TO STILL BE HERE.

7. STOP IGNORING YOUR HEALTH.

Lose the weight if you need to.

Get your labs checked.

Address your hormones if appropriate.

Take the medication if you need it.

See the doctor.

See the therapist.

See the naturopath.

See the pelvic-floor therapist.

Hell, fly into the Amazon rainforest and consult an elderly man named Eduardo who lives in a hut and communicates exclusively through medicinal plants.

JUST DO SOMETHING.

Ignoring a problem has never once been a successful healthcare strategy.

Bottom line:

YOU ARE NOT 25 ANYMORE.

And frankly, thank God, because I would rather chew aluminum foil than relive my twenties.

You have ONE body.

Feed it.

Move it.

Rest it.

Protect it.

Medicate it when necessary.

Laugh with it.

Take it somewhere beautiful.

And for the love of all things holy…

STOP ACTING SHOCKED WHEN YOUR 50-SOMETHING BODY GETS TIRED OF YOUR REBELLION AND DUMBASSERY.

Dolly Day coming up

In honor of Dolly Day, bring your gently used children's books to be donated locally. Kicking it off on 9/25, but you are welcome to start now through Sunday, the 27th. The box will be in the lobby.
The Kofe Cup Truck will be here from 7a-noon.
Might as well get a free workout in, while you're here!

Well, ACTUALLY......
We are leaving for a little 1st year wedding anniversary trip next week. So, if you think you might need an IV, I'd say you better get on my schedule sooner than later!

Whew! They are finally back to school! Do you have your routine figured out yet?
