💪 GLP-1 Support: Do It the Right Way
If you’re using GLP-1 peptides, let’s make this a healthy and sustainable journey — not just a quick fix.
You probably already know: as soon as you stop the peptide, the weight tends to creep back on. But with the right support, your results can stick — and your body will thank you. Here’s how to do it right:
❤️ Stay Hydrated
Dehydration = fatigue, constipation, and sluggish progress.
Support your hydration with electrolytes like Re-Lyte and Ultima

❤️ Nourish with Spirulina
This superfood helps combat common side effects like nausea and constipation, while delivering key nutrients — especially important when your appetite is reduced.
Remember: if your body doesn’t get nutrients, it starts breaking down muscle.
We want to protect that lean muscle and keep your metabolism humming — especially when you eventually come off the peptide.

❤️ Don’t Skip Your Aminos
Less food = less protein = fewer amino acids.
Amino acids are the building blocks your muscles need to grow and recover. Without them, you risk losing precious muscle mass.
✨ Tip: I take 3 Amino Sport capsules before my workout and 3 after. Timing matters for repair and growth!

❤️ Lift Weights (Yes, Really!)
Even light weights at home can help preserve muscle.
If you don’t use it, you lose it — and muscle is essential for metabolism, hormone health, and longevity. Just start moving. Start building.
❤️ Don’t Forget Magnesium
Magnesium supports:
✓ Hydration
✓ Sleep
✓ Anxiety
✓ Hormone balance
✓ Constipation relief
✓ Weight regulation
✓ Adrenal and gut health
Most people are deficient — especially during stress. Support your system with a high-quality magnesium supplement to feel your best throughout your GLP-1 journey.
✨ Bottom line: Take care of your body while on GLP-1s so you don’t set yourself up for burnout or rebound weight gain. Use this tool wisely — and nourish yourself well. You’ve got this.
🧠 Is Nicotine Actually... Healing?
A recent episode of Culture Apothecary with Dr. Bryan Ardis is stirring up major conversation — and for good reason. The topic? Nicotine — not as a vice, but as a potential therapeutic tool for everything from long COVID to Parkinson’s.
🔍 What’s the Controversy?
We’ve long been told nicotine is dangerous and addictive. But Dr. Ardis claims:
- Nicotine alone isn't addictive — it’s the 15 chemical additives (pyrazines) in commercial tobacco products that hook you.
- Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants naturally contain nicotine — yet no one’s addicted to salsa or fries.
- Nicotine is showing promise in peer-reviewed studies for reducing symptoms of:
- Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s
- Long COVID
- Arthritis & Autoimmune issues
- Autism & Hypothyroidism
- Even glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer)
🧪 His Protocol (Not Medical Advice)
- 7 mg nicotine patches used short-term showed rapid symptom relief in long COVID patients.
- He recommends starting low (1 mg/day), especially for kids or sensitive individuals — and prefers patches over gum/pouches due to their slow release.
⚠️ Why This Matters
Dr. Ardis believes nicotine has been wrongly vilified to protect pharmaceutical profits. He warns that countries are moving to ban nicotine products by 2030, which he claims would remove a powerful natural therapeutic from public reach.
🔦 Takeaway
“What if we’ve been lied to about nicotine? Not to get us healthy, but to keep us sick?”
It’s a bold claim — and one worth investigating with an open, but discerning, mind.
