Lifestyle influencer Tatiana Karanja has opened up about her GLP-1 journey, saying the most difficult part was not the physical changes but dealing with other people’s opinions.
In a lengthy post on Instagram on Friday, July 10, 2026, she explained that she chose to stop paying attention to outside comments and instead focused on medical advice.
Tatiana said her experience was personal and should not be taken as a guide for others. She explained that every person’s body is different and encouraged anyone considering the treatment to first seek professional medical advice.
“First things first, this is MY journey, not a blueprint. I made an INFORMED decision for MYSELF. So many of you ask me what to do, what dose, how to start. I can’t answer that. Everyone’s body is different — what worked for me might not work for you. Go get checked out, do your bloodwork, find a doctor who’ll actually monitor you properly. That part isn’t optional,” Tatiana Karanja said.
She also explained that her treatment has always been supervised by a doctor. According to Tatiana, every stage of the process, including tapering off the medication, has been planned together with her medical team.
Following medical advice
Tatiana said she used the medication weekly for five months before making changes to her treatment plan. She explained that she is now taking it every three weeks under her doctor’s guidance.
“For me: 5 months on it properly, weekly, working closely with my doctor. I’ve also transitioned to doing it at home now, something that’s entirely between me and my doctor, guided every step of the way. Nothing about this journey has been ‘figure it out yourself,’ Tatiana Karanja said.
She added that the biggest challenge was dealing with opinions from people who were not informed about her situation. Tatiana said she eventually decided to ignore the comments and trust the advice she was receiving from a qualified professional.
“Honestly, the hardest part hasn’t been physical. It’s been quieting all the noise; everyone has an opinion on this, most of them uninformed. I stopped listening months ago. I just do what works for my body, with someone qualified watching it happen,” Tatiana Karanja said.
Tatiana said she feels healthy and full of energy because she has followed medical advice from the beginning.
