Tapering off Ozempic, entrenching good habits, and shaming.
After a two-week break, Jonathan and Charlene return to the mic with major updates: Jonathan has officially tapered off Ozempic, while Charlene has upped her dose to 1mg to battle a stubborn weight plateau and reduce food cravings as she tapers off vaping. This candid episode dives deep into the emotional, physical, and psychological shifts they’re experiencing as their journeys diverge.

• 🛑 Tapering Off Ozempic: Jonathan shares what it’s like to stop completely after stepping down to 0.25mg—hunger is back, but so is mindfulness.
• ⚖️ Plateau Frustrations: Charlene opens up about being stuck at 76.7kg for nearly a month, despite increasing her dose.
• 🧠 Food Habits & Psychology: Jonathan identifies his mindless snacking habits and outlines a strategy to “stop, look, and listen” before eating.
• 💪 Charlene’s Menopause-Friendly Routine: She talks about lifting weights, focusing on protein, and exploring anti-inflammatory recipes to preserve muscle mass.
• 🚭 Vaping & Cravings: Can semaglutide curb nicotine habits too? Charlene discusses how increasing her dose helped manage withdrawal cravings.
• 😠 Judgment & Stigma: Charlene recounts being shamed for using Ozempic for weight loss—and the impact it had on her emotionally.
• 🧃 Fullness & Addiction: They unpack the surprising crossover between feeling physically full and reduced interest in alcohol, vaping, and snacking.
• 🧠 Mental Reframing: The duo reflects on building sustainable habits and the importance of giving yourself grace during plateaus and lifestyle shifts.
