my sister is still trapped on zepbound with hypothyroidism i got off zep 4 months ago WITHOUT gaining everything back and we have the same condition Let me explain ======== so my name's elisa and my sister's helen we got this disease from our mom i got diagnosed first at 33. she got it a year later We tried every diet. keto. carnivore. fasting. brazilian nuts. whatever was supposed to work for "people like us" she got down to 500 calories a day and was still gaining i was eating 800 and watching the scale go up 4.7 pounds every week both our doctors kept telling us our tsh was normal meanwhile were both watching our faces get puffy. clothes stop fitting. crying in separate houses about the same thing and both our doctors looking at us like were making it up 6 years of that. both of us. at the same time ======== then we found zepbound and for the first time... it just worked the weight was actually coming off the brain fog started lifting. the joint pain. the bloating We were actually able to eat our chicken parm from olive garden without gaining weight. 6 years of nothing working and something finally worked even though i couldn't understand why it did we had our lives back. or at least we thought we did ======== because here's what nobody warns you about $1000 a month. each of us. insurance said no for both of us because of BMI. thats 24k a year for two sisters just trying to feel normal ======== helen stopped first after 9 months. said she'd see if her body could hold it couldn't everything came back in 5 weeks. all of it. like the last 9 months just didn't happen she went back on. because what else do you do ======== and thats when it hit us getting on is easy getting off is the trap and idk why it isn't spoken about that much. ======== " big sis how long do we have to do this" "i dont know" "i cant do 1000 forever but i cant go back to that either" "i know. i think about it every night" "theres gotta be something else right" "there has to be" ======== we went to sleep with nothing figured out but i couldn't stop thinking about it. because the thing that kept running through my head was if the glp-1 works but we cant stay on it... then what is it actually fixing? like whats the real thing underneath that keeps pulling us back ======== so i went down a rabbit hole not the main hypothyroidism sub where everyone just posts their labs. the other one. r/hashimotos. where women are posting at 2am because nothing's working and their doctors keep saying they're fine and i found this thread a woman asking the exact same question. "has anyone actually gotten off glp-1 without crashing?" most comments were the same doom and gloom "Yeah I've accepted I'll be on it for life." "I stopped 3 times and crashed every time." "Just budget for it, it's worth it." but there was one comment that stopped me cold ======== someone who said she was a functional medicine doctor dr. rachel thompson. 9 years of practice and said she had hashimotos too. and she explained WHY things were like this. why glp-1 works but the second you stop you just crash and what she said made me sick ======== she said glp-1 doesn't actually fix anything it just pauses everything I was kinda like "what??" but she explained it so well I started crying. ======== So basically your body has these locks. when they open you burn calories t3 is the key that opens them but when you have hypothyroidism and you've been starving yourself trying to lose weight for years your body stops making real keys it starts making broken ones instead reverse t3 ======== the broken keys look exactly like real keys they slide right into the lock but they don't turn they just jam. get stuck and now the real keys can't even get in nothing opens. nothing burns no matter how little you eat and here's the part that made me sick ======== every diet i tried before ozempic every calorie i cut every time i starved myself trying to fix this my body thought i was in danger so it panicked. made MORE broken keys. jammed my locks even tighter i was literally making it worse for years and so was helen ======== I thought to myself. so if that's what's actually broken inside us what was our glp-1 doing this whole time she explained that too ======== glp-1 doesn't unjam anything it just pauses everything your appetite. your cravings. your stress hormones including the production of broken keys (reverse t3) that's why the weight comes off that's why the symptoms fade that's why we feel amazing everything's on pause ======== but the locks are still jammed the broken keys are still stuck inside you just can't feel it because everything's paused ======== So the second you stop? your body starts making hormones again. including the broken keys everything floods back into the same jammed locks hunger. weight. inflammation. all of it usually worse than before ======== because you never actually cleared the jam you just paused everything around it ======== so i asked in the thread. "okay then what actually clears the jam?" She replied back to me 1 week later. said selenium and iodine in a specific ratio. 2 to 1 ratio or something. to clear the broken keys and help your body make real ones and this specific form of ashwagandha called ksm-66 to calm the stress response so your body stops producing more broken keys all in liquid form because our guts are destroyed from hypothyroidism and pills don't absorb right ======== now. ashwagandha i almost scrolled past when i saw that because i've seen posts saying it's bad for your thyroid. my doctor told me to avoid it but apparently the random stuff on amazon with unknown dosing? yeah. that can mess with your thyroid. that's why doctors say avoid it but ksm-66. clinical grade. the exact dose that's actually been studied? that's different that actually calms the stress response. stops the panic signal. stops the broken keys ======== someone in the thread replied with a link said she'd been on mounjaro for 14 months. lost 47 lbs. felt like a different person then her pharmacy ran out for 5 weeks and she gained 14 lbs back before she could get it again that's when she realized she couldn't miss a single dose without her body punishing her for it she found the formula through the same doctor's comment. took it alongside mounjaro for 6 weeks. then stopped on purpose 4 months off. down 15 lbs since. reverse t3 went from 28 to 11 and the thing she wrote at the end stuck with me "i didn't realize how much of my life was organized around the fear of losing access to this drug until i didn't need it anymore" ======== i looked at the formula. it was exactly what the doctor described $35 i'd spent almost $10,000 on ozempic in 11 months what was $35 ======== but i didn't tell helen not yet because she's my little sister. and i've watched this thing break her for 6 years i watched her step on the scale and just go quiet. not even cry. just... nothing. like she ran out of reactions i watched her stop zepbound once already. saw everything come flooding back in 5 weeks. the weight. the exhaustion. the look on her face like she knew she was trapped she went back on at $1000 a month. not because she wanted to. because she didn't have a choice i'm not putting that in front of her again unless i know it works if someone was gonna test this it was gonna be me first ======== ordered it that night didn't stop my ozempic. i'm not stupid. i'd crashed too hard before honestly i had anxiety about it every time i thought about not refilling i could feel my chest get tight because i KNEW what was coming. the hunger flooding back. the exhaustion. watching the scale climb every single day i'd lived it. i couldn't do it again took both for about 3 weeks then my ozempic ran out and i just... didn't refill ======== here's where it gets weird because nothing happened not what i expected anyway ======== week 1 off glp-1 waiting for it to start. the hunger. the exhaustion. the scale creeping up nothing told myself it's too early. give it time. the crash is coming ======== week 2 this is usually when the weight starts coming back. that swollen inflamed feeling but it... didn't? i kept stepping on the scale expecting the worst same weight i literally thought the scale was broken but that wasn't even the weird part ======== week 3 okay this is when i started freaking out a little not because something bad happened because nothing bad was happening i woke up and i wasn't exhausted like actually wanted to get out of bed i used to set 3 alarms. snooze all of them. drag myself up feeling like i hadn't slept at all now i was waking up before my alarm that sounds small but if you know you know ======== week 4 down 2 lbs i weighed myself 4 times last time i stopped ozempic i was up 15 lbs by now this time i was DOWN that's when i called helen ======== i didn't tell her what it was yet i just said "i've been off ozempic for 4 weeks" silence then "what do you mean off" "i stopped. no crash. i'm down 2 lbs" she didn't believe me. i wouldn't have believed me either ======== week 6 down 5 lbs total. still no crash my husband asked if i went back on ozempic i said no. he literally didn't believe me i sent helen a picture of the scale. she called me immediately "okay what the hell are you taking" ======== that's when i told her everything the thread. the doctor. the keys and locks. the formula and i could hear it in her voice. that same hope she had when zepbound first worked but also that fear. because she'd been burned before i told her "i'm not telling you to stop your zepbound. just take this with it. see how you feel. and when you're ready you decide" because i wasn't going to push her. not with this she'd already been through enough ======== week 8 got bloodwork done made them run reverse t3 even though my doctor looked at me like i was crazy it came back normal first time in years i sat in my car in the parking lot and cried not cute crying. ugly crying because it wasn't just the number it was what it meant all those years of doctors telling me to just try harder. eat less. move more. stop making excuses all those times i believed them. believed it was my fault it was never my fault my locks were jammed the whole time and nobody checked ======== and now it's been 4 months down 14 lbs since stopping no ozempic. no $900 a month. no crash honestly i'm still waiting for it to fall apart every morning i step on the scale expecting to see it climbing again 4 months. still hasn't happened ======== and helen? she's been taking it alongside her zepbound for 5 weeks now she hasn't stopped yet. she's not ready. and that's okay but last week she told me something she said "i don't know how to explain it but i feel different this time. like something actually shifted" and i know that feeling because that's exactly how it started for me ======== to my endocrinologist who told me i'd "probably need glp-1 indefinitely" — you were wrong to everyone who said "just accept it" — i get why you said that. i really do. but there was another way ======== i don't know if this works for everyone i'm not a doctor i'm just telling you what happened to me. and what's starting to happen for my sister if you're in that same trap right now paying $800 $900 $1000 a month terrified to stop because you know what happens feeling like maybe this is just your life now trust me. it's not ======== here's the link if you want to try it 👉 https://shop.try-innerfresh.com/hypothyroid they have a 60 day guarantee so if it doesn't work you get your money back that's honestly the only reason i tried it. i was so done wasting money on stuff that didn't work also heads up they sell out a lot. i had to wait 3 weeks for my second bottle ======== i'll update again when helen's further along but yeah 4 months off. no crash my sister's starting and for the first time in 6 years we're not just surviving this we're actually getting out

"These will help your thyroid."And they mention:"Levothyroxine. Synthroid. Keto. Intermittent fasting. Selenium pills from Amazon."Either they didn't work or they made it worse.
