Feeling Younger at 70: How I Took My Health Back

I was struggling with high blood pressure and daily fatigue. I knew I had to do something.

Initially, looking to GLP1 meds felt like a failure. Why couldn't I do this? I did some research and discovered sometimes you have things going on with your metabolism that need some intervention. I knew I had insulin resistance due to blood work. I figured out there was no shame in getting help. I started my journey summer 2023.
Initially, I was using semagultide from another company. While it helped, eventually I plateaued, and they suggested I move onto tirzepatide. That company did not use that medication...
That's when I found Emerge.
I loved they had a text feature for fast answers/feedback to my questions. My weight loss journey continued. As of today, I have lost 65 lbs. It's taken two years, but I am ok with that.
My latest bloodwork was perfect, and I feel better than I have felt in years.
As I look at the before and after pictures, I even look years younger. For context, I will be 70 in two weeks. The after picture was taken July 2025 on my first international trip to Mexico.
Thank you to Emerge. Thank you for the encouraging emails, asking about my progress and if I have any questions. I feel like I have my life back.
