                                                   It was the eve of a big family event, and as I stood before my full-length mirror , I barely recognized myself. Sure, I wasn’t 21—or even 35—anymore—but this felt different. I felt heavy on the inside, and it showed on the outside. My clothes didn’t fit. The stylish outfits I once grabbed without a second thought were gone, replaced with pieces that could hide the parts of me I didn’t want the world to see. Even my face felt different—rounder, softer. My grandmother’s high cheekbones were still there, peeking through beneath my brown eyes, but they weren’t as sharp, as defined. Each morning, catching my reflection, I instinctively lowered my gaze, rushed through my routine, and put on a brave face. I smiled, but inside, I felt disconnected from myself. I had been doing everything “right.” Daily cardio, weig...

Menopause & GLP-1: A New Chapter of Change by Tonua Norice | GLP-1 Mind • Body • Spirit Reflection Menopause isn’t just a phase — it’s a full-body awakening. The changes can feel confusing, even unfair, but they’re also an invitation to listen deeper. GLP-1 support helped me navigate “The Change” with more grace, balance, and energy — and showed me that aligning mind, body, and spirit turns this season into one of renewal, not loss. The Shift No One Warned Me About The weight starts to cling around your middle. That midsection bulge — that fupa — shows up with the bold confidence of a 19-year-old in a bikini. Sleep gets harder. Cravings get louder. Energy dips just when you need it most. I know what it’s like to wonder if the old rules — eat less, move more, try harder — will ever work again. It’s exhausting. The kids were gone. The house was quiet. Some days I caught myself whispering, “Okay God, I want a do-over.” I...

GLP-1: The Science of Balance, The Art of Becoming A GLP-1 Mind • Body • Spirit Reflection This page is your personal guide to understanding GLP-1 — not just what it does, but how it feels to live in rhythm with it. We’re talking about more than weight loss or blood sugar. This is about reclaiming balance in your mind, body, and spirit — one mindful dose, one conscious breath at a time. 💫 What Is GLP-1? GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a natural hormone your body releases after you eat. Its message is simple but powerful: “You’re satisfied. You can rest.” Slows digestion for a steady, lasting energy release Helps balance blood sugar levels Calms hunger and stabilizes mood When that GLP-1 signal is weak, we end up chasing energy — constantly hungry, tired, or feeling like our body’s working against us. GLP-1 medications step in to remind the body of its natural rhythm and help it remember ful...

Healing Mind, Body & Spirit – My GLP-1 Journey by Tonua Norice | GLP-1 Mind • Body • Spirit Reflection Searching for Answers: Faith, Frustration, and Unworthiness I looked for answers. I prayed, fasted, cried, and waited. Nothing changed — in fact, I gained weight. Raised in a Christian household, I believed patience and faith would bring transformation. But that waiting often led to frustration. I struggled with a deep sense of unworthiness, wondering if this was a trial I was meant to simply endure. Finding Guidance and Exploring New Ideas I pushed harder — more cardio, stricter routines — until I was near exhaustion. Then I prayed again, but this time, for guidance instead of results. That’s when I met a new doctor, a Black woman, and shared my story openly — all the frustration, all the effort, all the hope. Around that same time, I began exploring African spirituality , the Ma’at principles of balance...
