Calm, Cool, and Zepbound: What Happens When I Spend a Day With People Who Actually Love Me

Saturday, June 28, 2025

Today was a solid reminder that health isn’t just about metrics—it’s about joy, connection, and getting the hell away from toxic environments. I spent the day with people who love me, people I trust, and it shows in my numbers. No drama, no operating room tension—just fresh air, laughter, and real companionship.








🧠 Energy & Stress

Welltory shows a noticeable uptick in energy compared to the past few days. My stress level dropped and stayed low for most of the day. I woke up refreshed, had a peaceful morning, and stayed grounded throughout. This is what nervous system regulation actually feels like.

  • Stress: Low, smooth baseline

  • Energy: Trending upward

  • Mood: Even and grounded, no spikes

❤️ HRV, Heart Rate & Recovery

HRV is stable and higher than my weekday average, no doubt helped by the relaxed pace of the day. Resting heart rate stayed in my healthy range, and my recovery metrics are more in line with what they should be when I’m not running on cortisol fumes.

  • HRV: Improved

  • Resting HR: In target range

  • Recovery: Excellent

💡 Glucose

No hypoglycemic dips today. My glucose graph looked like it should—gentle curves, not dangerous cliffs. That tells me my food choices and timing were spot on. I didn’t overdo caffeine or under-eat, and I didn’t skip my protein or let stress drive my blood sugar.

  • Range: Stable, no hypo events

  • Trend: No erratic spikes

  • Notable: Smooth overnight and post-meal curves

🧪 Supplements & Medications

Everything was on schedule, including digestive support since yesterday was injection day.

🍽 Nutrition



Today landed right around 1,600 calories—clean and satisfying. Most of it came from dinner (58%), and I logged no snacks. The numbers tell the full story:




  • Calories: 1,600 total

  • Protein: 98g — just shy of goal, boosted by my morning Jocko Molk protein shake

  • Carbohydrates: 135g

  • Fat: 78g, which slightly exceeded target

  • Fiber: 12g (short of goal)

  • Sugar: 89g — notably high, but no energy crash

  • Macro Balance:

    • Protein: 24% (goal: 35%)

    • Carbs: 33% (goal: 30%)

    • Fat: 43% (goal: 35%)

Although fat and sugar were higher than planned, I felt no bloat, no sugar fog, and no digestive issues—thanks, likely, to the enzymes and how I spaced meals.

🏃‍♀️ Movement

Even without formal exercise, I easily passed my 22-minute threshold just living my life. That’s the goal: movement as a lifestyle, not a punishment.

  • Steps: >8,000

  • Movement Minutes: ✅

  • Pain: Very minimal—foot was happy today

I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating: we are not meant to live in constant fight-or-flight. Today was a reminder that healing happens when I am safe, loved, and unbothered. No bells ringing, no egos clashing, no badge-polishing power trippers barking orders. Just me and my real life.

💩 From Bloated to Balanced: How These Enzymes Saved Me Mid-Tirzepatide Constipation

Image
 I don’t usually write about what happens  after  dinner… but let’s just say yesterday deserved a post. I’m on  week 147 of tirzepatide  (shoutout to my Friday night injection crew), and despite having my routine mostly dialed in, I got hit hard with  brick wall  constipation this week. No warning. Just... 💥 stuck. So I did what I regularly do: I reached for my  Physician’s Choice Digestive Enzymes . I bought them a while back for “just in case” moments. Yesterday? It was the  case . And y’all — they worked. But this post isn’t just about relief. It’s about understanding what you’re actually putting in your body — especially when you're navigating the layered effects of GLP-1s like tirzepatide. Let’s unpack the  ingredient blend  and why it matters: 🧪 What’s Inside These Capsules — And Why It Works These enzymes go way beyond the basics. Here’s what you’re really getting in every serving: 1. Protease Blend (5 Types) Breaks down pr...

🌀 Sunday Check-In: Rainy Walks, Superhero Dreams & Nervous System Wins

Image
  📅 Date:  June 15, 2025 📍 Location:  Central New Jersey 🌧️ Weather:  Cool, rainy, peaceful 🧠 Mood:  Grounded, calm, and fully content ☀️ Morning Reflection I spent the day in Central Jersey, where I stay about half the week. The weather was moody—cool and rainy—but that didn’t stop me from getting out for  two walks , including a peaceful loop through  Colonial Park , which always resets me mentally. Last night’s sleep was solid, but the  dreams were something else . I’m in  week 147 on Tirzepatide , and I’ve definitely noticed a trend with increasingly vivid REM cycles. Last night’s were full-on  superhero mode —not bad dreams, just chaotic, detailed, and fast-paced. My subconscious was on a mission. 📊 Morning vs. Evening Metrics What started as a lower-energy, high-stress morning completely reversed by early evening. My body flipped into full parasympathetic recovery, and the numbers backed it up: I didn’t nap, overdo it, or stre...

June 18 – Metrics Blog: From Burnout to Recovery Mode 💥➡️🌿

Image
 Woke up this morning knowing something was off—and my metrics confirmed it. At  7:47 AM , stress was already at  59% 😬 , energy was dragging at  35% 🪫 , and although my  health resilience was 100% 🟢 , my  HRV was only 24% 📉 , which explained the low stamina. I chalked it up to cumulative system strain, probably from trying to push through earlier in the week without giving myself enough recovery time. By  1:44 PM , things had taken a sharper turn. My  stress spiked to 97% 🔥 , energy dropped to  12% ⚠️ , and coherence took a hit at  35% 🤯 . HRV tanked at  1% 🧨 , and my nervous system was stuck in full sympathetic overdrive 🏃‍♀️💨. Brain fog kicked in, and I knew right away that decision-making and mental focus were compromised. Welltory even warned me to postpone anything important—and it wasn’t wrong. But the twist? Despite that crash,  my health resilience stayed rock solid at 100% 🧬  all day. That’s not nothing...
