When your body stops responding to the usual plans ā workouts, clean eating, expert coaching ā it can feel like betrayal.
Especially if youāre in perimenopause, pushing through inflammation, cortisol overload, or decades of "doing everything right," only to be met with stubborn weight, fatigue, or creeping hopelessness.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are changing the conversation.
But not everyone needsāor wantsāthe highest dose.
Welcome to microdosing.

What Is GLP-1 Microdosing?
Microdosing GLP-1s means using the lowest effective dose, customized to your bodyās current needs. This isnāt about chasing rapid weight loss. Itās about restoring balance, calming inflammation, and reducing the emotional wear-and-tear of constant resistance.
You still get:
Appetite regulation
Insulin sensitivity improvements
Decreased binge and impulse patterns
Gut-calming effects
Emotional distance from food noise
But with less intensity, fewer side effects, and more control.
Who Benefits from a Microdose Protocol?

š Perimenopausal or menopausal womenĀ experiencing hormonal plateaus
š Active womenĀ frustrated by stalled weight loss despite clean eating and training
š Clients with emotional eating historiesĀ looking to regulate without numbing
š Those sensitive to medsĀ or cautious about full-dose side effects
š Burned-out moms and professionalsĀ who need relief without checking out
If youāve ever felt like your metabolism ājust gave upā ā microdosing may be your calm, consistent path forward.
Why Port of Resilience Is Different
This isnāt a trend for us. Itās a concierge-based programĀ rooted in trauma-informed care, spiritual integrity, and real science. You donāt get a script and a goodbye.
You get:
A physician who actually listens
Dosing tailored to your hormones, labs, and emotional state
A guide (thatās me) who helps you navigate the physical, mental, and emotional shifts
Optional add-ons like sleep support, emotional clarity sessions, or gut repair aids
Weekly check-ins if desired ā or quiet support from the sidelines

Your body isnāt the enemy. Itās tired of the fight.
Letās give it tools, not more pressure.
