INSPIRED BY ALL THE GYM BROS TAKING RETATRUTIDE “whenever I need it”
(because Oui love you!)

Listen I’m like a totally hip and cool doctor. All my hip and cool friends tell me what the shizz izz about the sizz, tizz, and rizz.

TRANSLASHE: I know a lot of you are getting your peptides through Tiktok and other websites, and then treating yourselves!

1. DON’T START AND STOP. The magic of these drugs is that they are able to heal and in some cases even reverse the signs of metabolic damage that we have all sustained. But when you start / stop / start / stop you are confusing DA HECK out of your body. Long-term, you’re making things harder on yourself!

2. DON’T JUST WILLY NILLY THE DOSING FREQUENCY. I have a lot of friends, including myself circa 2025, who take their GLP-1 and then just “wait to see when it wears off.” NERP! Whether it’s 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, or something in between, STAY REGULAR ON YOUR INTERVALS. If your perfect maintenance interval is every 23 days, then stick with that. Regularity of schedule is something your body DEPENDS ON. If you confuse her, she doesn’t know when help is coming and when it’s not, so she doesn’t know how hard to work, and HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR EMPLOYER NEVER TOLD YOU WHAT DAYS YOU HAD TO WORK OVERTIME AND WHAT DAYS YOU WERE OFF? You’d be super annoyed. GLP-1s are the same way.

3. TITRATE YOURSELF SLOWLY. I had a patient come from another clinic who was on almost the max dose after 2 months. Like what? Playa slow down.

4. DRINK YA WATER ON SHOT DAY AND THE DAY AFTER. If you can get your 80 ounces in on shot day and the day after, you’re a lot less likely to feel tired or have side effects. These medicines work best with support: 90 ounces of water, 90g of protein, and 25g of fiber daily.

5. IF THEY AREN’T WORKING OR STOPPED WORKING YOU NEED TO SEE AN ACTUAL DOC. GLP-1s don’t work if your estrogen is off. I can’t tell you how many women I’ve seen that were on MAX DOSE MOUNJARO, and then once their hormones were balanced they dropped down to 5mg because it was so much more effective.

Of course, The Oui Doctor would love to take care of everyone, but even more important than that is making sure y’all know how to take care of yourselves. Spread the word! You just might save someone some trouble.

P.S. Using vaginal estrogen will make sex better. Tell every woman you know to watch Track 3 @ theouidoctor.com!

P.P.S. Officially as an MD I do not condone anyone medicating themselves without seeing their provider but I know you doing it, so do it safely mes amis!
