| 0:00.0 | Before we start, I want to give a quick content warning. We talk about disordered eating and body image in this episode. Your mental health comes first, so feel free to pause, skip, or come back when you're ready. |
| 0:12.5 | Alana Paris, welcome to seeing other people. Thank you. I'm so excited to be here. I am really excited to have you, and I can't believe it took me this long to have the thought of having you on. I know. And when you reached out, I was so excited because I've thought about, like, asking you to do it before. And then I just never, like, followed up. And so when you reached out, I'm like, wait, this is perfect. Let's do it. And now feels like a perfect time, too. Yes. I feel like that always happens. but I'm talking to someone. We're both like, oh, like, we should have done this sooner. And it's like, no now feels like a perfect time too yes i feel like that always happens but i'm talking |
| 0:38.2 | to someone we're both like oh like we should have done this sooner and it's like no but now really |
| 0:42.2 | makes sense yes now i have a lot more to say than i probably have in the past i mean i always have |
| 0:47.4 | a lot to say but definitely now so so today's episode i'm giving a full disclaimer of us are doctors. We are not giving any medical advice. Elana is here sharing her experience and what she knows. And I know pretty much nothing. So we are not doctors. And I'm just going to say that one more time. We are not doctors. This is not medical advice. Correct. Okay. Co-signing that. Yep. Yep. But you are here to talk about your experience on a GLP1. |
| 1:14.7 | Mm-hmm. This is not medical advice. Correct. Okay. Co-signing that. Yep. Yep. But you are here to talk about |
| 1:12.2 | your experience on a gLP one and how it has changed your life, your confidence, your dating |
| 1:19.3 | life, your relationships. And I first and foremost want to say thank you for being here, but also |
| 1:26.0 | part of the reason you're here is because you have |
| 1:28.7 | been so open and honest on starting with your Instagram stories. And also now your TikTok, |
| 1:35.5 | you've just been talking about your real experience. And I feel like there are not enough people |
| 1:42.2 | doing that. And I can only imagine how many people you're helping by sharing that. |
| 1:47.6 | So thank you. |
| 1:48.4 | Thank you. |
| 1:49.0 | Thanks for saying that. |
| 1:49.6 | No, it's crazy because I never thought I would post about it. |
| 1:55.1 | And then once I started to, I was seeing like messages and people responding and like exactly |
| 2:00.1 | what you're saying saying this is helping them |
| 2:02.1 | and I'm like well it's helping me share about it but it's helping other people so that's why I've |
| 2:06.3 | been doing it I'm just I'm going to keep going with it um I'm enjoying it and there's just like |
| 2:10.1 | so much content to make about this topic and like endless things you can say about it so thanks |
