I'm a 44-year-old mom from Ohio. I am not a doctor. I am not a dietitian. I've never been on television.

But after what I found out about the red sticker on this tray of steaks and who is secretly eating all of it… I cannot stay quiet one more day.

If you or someone you love is on a GLP-1 weight loss shot or thinking about starting one… please read this before you spend another dollar. My best friend almost lost her progress over this. Millions of families are being played.

I circled the number in red so you wouldn't miss it, and I'll tell you who's really eating these in a minute.

We're a family of six. Four of them are teenage boys.

And for the first time ever in our family history, we can no longer eat meat.

It's not because we went vegan or developed some kind of allergy…

It's because the cost of meat has reached all-time highs.

I took the picture above at our grocery store last week. That tray of steaks would only feed half our family.

If I wanted to feed everyone, I would have spent well over $166.

That is crazy to me.

So we did what a lot of American families are quietly doing right now….

We started eating less meat, maybe once or twice a month, on special occasions.

And this sucks. I know my boys hate it. I know my husband hates it.

Because whenever they walk to the dinner table now, they are no longer smiling. They used to run to the dinner table, that is long gone.

It seems like a lot of American families are doing the same thing….

Replacing steak and good cuts of meat with chicken, with beans, with lentils.

We were promised cheap groceries. For some reason, we are not seeing prices come down and that makes me mad.

But here's what made me even madder.

A few nights ago I was up late researching meat prices….

Trying to figure out where the cheapest ground beef in my zip code was. I had about thirty tabs open.

I don't even know how I landed on the page I'm about to tell you about, but I did.

And I could not look away.

You might think weight-loss doctors in America are quiet, humble people, medical professionals.

Hard-working folks who spent a decade in school and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans to help women like me finally feel good in our own skin.

When actually…. a growing number of weight-loss doctors right now are having the time of their lives.

And I don't mean that as a compliment.

Because while you and I are standing in the meat aisle doing math, a small army of American weight-loss doctors is being flown out, wined, and dined by billion-dollar pharmaceutical companies.

I read the number three times to make sure I had it right.

Over $11 million dollars in steak dinners.

Eleven million dollars, in steak, charged to the pharma expense account, served to the exact doctors who are supposed to be looking you in the eye and prescribing what's best for your body and your budget.

You and I are replacing our steaks with chicken and lentils.

They are getting to eat as much steak as they want.

And I haven't even told you the worst part yet.

Here's why this is happening and here's the part that broke my heart.

GLPs are all the rage now. You've heard of them.

Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro.

The shots.

Women who have struggled with their weight for twenty, thirty, forty years are, for the first time in their lives, finally seeing progress.

My best friend is one of them.

She lost 20 pounds in a couple of months. And she told me something I haven't been able to get out of my head since the day she said it.

"This has been the first time in my life that I haven't had constant thoughts about food."

I cried in my car after she told me that. Because you don't understand how heavy that sentence is unless you've carried the same weight.

But recently, she had to get off it.

Her husband was laid off.

They were paying almost $1,000 a month out of pocket, they couldn't keep it up.

Not with a mortgage. Not with two kids in school. Not with groceries the way they are right now.

She is depressed. She is gaining it back. She can hear the food thoughts starting up again, like a radio she can't turn off.

And that, that, is what drove me to write this at 4 in the morning.

Because here's what I found out about the doctors eating all the steak.

A single pharmaceutical company, worth over $200 billion dollars, is buying those steak dinners.

Not out of the goodness of their hearts. Not because doctors deserve a nice night out.

They're buying the steaks so the doctors will always recommend their GLP drug.

The one that costs almost $1,000 a month.

Instead of the nearly identical drug that costs less than $200 a month.

Made the same way, doing the same thing to your body…..

For about $800 less every month, almost $10,000 a year staying in your pocket instead of theirs.

Read that again, because I had to.

The doctors are not prescribing the $1,000 version because it works better, it doesn't.

They are not prescribing it because it has fewer side effects, it doesn't.

They are prescribing it because a $200 billion dollar pharmaceutical company is spoiling them….

With steak, with wine, with trips…. so they will write that prescription every single time.

My friend's $1,000 a month?

Bought those steaks.

Here's the thing. If you are currently on a GLP, or thinking about starting one…. please, please don't overpay.

The economy is already tight. You should not be paying an extra $800 a month for a drug you can get for less than $200, if you know where to look.

I found a reputable telehealth clinic that provides doctor-guided GLP treatment.

And here's the part that made me trust them: these doctors aren't the ones getting bought out by Big Pharma.

They're not being flown to conferences.

They're not eating the $11 million steak.

They're putting up a fight for everyday Americans who, for the first time ever, want to actually succeed at losing this weight.

Here's what they offer:

• Personalized GLP weight-loss plans built around your body, not a pharma rep's commission
• Unlimited telehealth visits with a real, licensed doctor
• Free blood panel before you start, so you know exactly where you are and where you're starting from
• Less than $200 a month… every month, same price, no games

I'm not a doctor. I'm a mother of four from Ohio. I don't get paid if you click the link below.

I just couldn't go to sleep one more night knowing what I know and not telling somebody.

If your $1,000 a month is paying for someone else's steak dinner, it's time to stop.

P.S. If you know a woman who had to quit her GLP because she couldn't afford it, send her this. That's the only reason I wrote it.
