Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino - Satiety isn’t about fullness — it’s about peace.

Image
๐Ÿ” Why Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino (and Not Salad) Because balance tastes better when it includes permission. When I first named this space Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino , I could almost hear people whisper — “Really, Tonua? Not salad?” Yes, really. Because I wanted a name that honored satisfaction and self-respect, not restriction and guilt. For too long, I measured my worth by what was on my plate. Every “clean” meal earned me a silent gold star, and every indulgence came with a side of shame. GLP-1 helped quiet that noise — not just in my appetite, but in my thinking. It reminded me that satiety is not sin. It’s self-trust. There’s something sacred about enjoying a meal — really enjoying it — without labeling it as good or bad. Cheeseburgers represent the realness of living: the cravings, the memories, the comfort, the community. Pellegrino represents the light — the sparkle, the refresh, the clear intention. Together, they became my metaphor for balance: flavor and flo...

Welcome to Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino: A GLP-1 Woman’s Diary on Balance & Becoming.

Image
  Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino exists to show that balance isn’t about clean eating or perfect routines; it’s about conscious living, self-respect, and humor through the human process of healing and evolving. Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino: A GLP-1 Woman’s Diary on Balance & Becoming. A real-life journal — reflections on food, fatigue, and feminine power by Tonua Norice. This is my unfiltered space — a living journal of what happens when your body starts rewriting its own rules in your late 40s, dares you to listen instead of fight back, and reminds you that balance isn’t about clean eating or perfect routines. Here, I write about the fatigue that feels hormonal but is really emotional, the glow that returns after forgiveness, and the way feminine power changes form when you stop forcing your body to prove anything. I chronicle the mess, the holy, the energy shifts, the little triumphs — all of it, stream-of-consciousness, real, and raw. Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino i...

Cultivating Balance day to day on GLP-1

Quantum Alignment on Your GLP-1 Journey Have you ever felt like your body is moving forward, but your mind and spirit are still catching up? Just feeling off, like something is missing or misunderstood. That’s exactly how I felt at the start of my GLP-1 journey. The scale was moving, sure—but deep down, I knew real transformation had to happen on the inside first. I felt like I was chasing after the real me. Strange, maybe, but hear me out. I had this idea of who I truly was: resilient, unapologetic in spirit, bold in my own mind. But in reality? I wasn’t fully speaking my truth to power . Oftentimes, I disqualified myself before anyone else even had the chance. See, this journey wasn’t just about weight or numbers—it was about healing the inherited beliefs I carried about my own power, aligning my energy with my truth, and stepping fully into the person I was meant to be. ✨ What is Quantum Alignment? Quantum Alignment goes beyond setting intentions . It’s about noticing how y...

Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1

Image
  Uncovering the Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1 When I finished reflecting on Frantz Fanon ’s work, I realized that reclaiming my power meant I also had to understand what was powering me. That’s when Dr. Sigmund Freud ’s insights on the unconscious stepped forward — not as a clinical framework, but as a mirror. Freud taught that much of what drives us lies beneath awareness: buried emotions, unprocessed experiences, and the internalized scripts we carry from childhood. At first, I resisted this idea. I wanted to believe I was fully in control. But my body knew otherwise. My anxiety, cravings, and exhaustion weren’t random; they were messages — the language of my subconscious asking to be heard. Through my GLP-1 journey, I began to feel this in real time. As my body recalibrated, it made space for deeper awareness. When the appetite quieted, the inner dialogue grew louder — and I started hearing the why behind my patterns...

The warrior exists not just in myth — she exists in you.

Welcome, Wellness Warrior ๐Ÿ’š From the temples of ancient times to the cutting-edge labs of today, the path of healing has always been the same: restoring balance to the body, mind, and spirit. You’re here because you want more than weight loss — you want transformation. Alignment. Strength. Freedom. ๐ŸŒฟ Ancient Healing Roots Long before syringes or prescriptions, our ancestors sought balance through nature: herbs, fasting, movement, and spiritual practice. They addressed what we now know as blood sugar irregularities with plant-based remedies and mindful routines. Healing was never just physical; it was about the spirit, the mind, and the community. Every action had intention, every ritual held purpose. ๐Ÿงช The Scientific Discovery In the 20th century, researchers uncovered GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) — a natural hormone our bodies produce after eating. It helps regulate blood sugar, slows digestion, and signals fullness. What our ancestors did intuitively through diet and life...

Menopause & GLP-1: A New Chapter of Change

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. ๐Ÿ’ซ 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...
