there’s a whole group chat happening without you. just so you know.
everything that's happening inside the paid community, explained.
there’s a whole group chat happening without you. just so you know.
and before you feel bad about that, let me explain exactly what it is, what’s going on inside it, and why it’s genuinely one of my favorite things about being on this journey with you.
but first.
it’s $3 a month.
three dollars. one less coffee order. one less random Amazon impulse buy. three dollars and you’re in.
okay. let’s talk about the chat.
(if you are ready to join? click the link below) or keep reading for the deets.
what even is the chat?
So Substack has a feature called Chat. Think of it like a private group text, but instead of your family sending memes you don’t understand, it’s a group of women and men who are ON this journey with you.
It lives inside the Substack app. You open it, and there’s a whole conversation happening.
It’s not a comment section. It’s not a Facebook group. It’s not a DM thread that dies after two replies.
It’s a community. And it’s ours.
here’s what actually happens inside
Every week I post threads in the chat. Right now we have four weekly threads running:
Sunday Weigh-In Thread Every Sunday we show up, drop our number, and talk about how our week actually went. The wins, the hard moments, the “why did I eat that” and the “I actually did really well this week.” It’s honest, it’s real, and there is something about reading other people’s check-ins on a Sunday morning that makes you feel like you are part of something. Because you are.
Monday Yapping Thread This is exactly what it sounds like. Questions, comments, anything on your mind. Starting a new dose? Drop it here. Had a rough week? Drop it here. Not sure if what you’re feeling is normal? Drop it here. This is the no-judgment zone where you can literally say whatever.
Wednesday Mid-Week Check-In Thread We’re halfway through the week. How’s it actually going? Not the highlight reel version. The real one. This thread is where people share the wins AND the hard moments. It’s where you realize other people are struggling with the exact same things you thought were just you.
Friday “Share Your Wins” Thread Big wins. Tiny wins. “I didn’t quit” wins. All of it counts. This thread is genuinely one of the most feel-good things I’ve built. Watching people celebrate each other every single Friday? Unmatched.
but wait, it’s not just threads
Here’s the part people don’t realize.
You can REPLY to those threads. You can talk to other members. You can ask a question in the Monday thread and get answers from five different people who have been exactly where you are.
It’s not me talking AT you. It’s all of us talking together.
who’s in there?
Honestly? People just like you. People who are doing this for real, figuring it out week by week, dose by dose, meal by meal.
People in the early phase navigating side effects.
People deep in the invisible phase wondering why the scale stopped moving.
People who have been on this journey for over a year and still have hard weeks.
Nobody in here is making this look effortless. We are all just showing up and being honest about it. That’s the whole thing.
what else do you get with paid?
The chat is the main thing. But it’s not the only thing.
When you upgrade you also get:
Friday Deep Dive posts - these are the longer, more personal, more detailed posts that I only share with paid subscribers. Think of it as what I’d tell you if we were sitting across from each other.
Full archive access - every paid post I’ve ever written is yours to go back and read.
The vault - resources like The Middle Phase Playbook, my protein guide, weight loss tracker, journal, and more.
Priority access to cohorts - like the Back to Day One reset that just launched. Paid subscribers get access first, always.
But honestly? Most people upgrade for the chat. And they stay for everything else.
let me be real with you for a second
I built this community because I needed it and it didn’t exist.
When I started this journey I was searching for someone who was being honest. Not selling a program. Not before-and-aftering their way through content. Just... being real.
That’s what this space is. And the chat is where it lives the most.
It’s where I see people encourage each other at 9pm on a Tuesday. Where someone posts that they’re struggling and people respond within the hour. Where we celebrate a half-pound loss the same way we’d celebrate ten pounds because we KNOW what it took to get there.
You can read my posts for free forever. That’s real. I’m always going to put free content out.
But if you’ve ever wanted to actually BE in the room?
The chat is the room.
okay so how do you join
It’s $3 a month.
That’s it.
You click the button below, you upgrade, you download the Substack app if you don’t have it already, and you tap into the chat. The weekly threads are already running. You can jump in right now.
We’re in there. Come find us. (the button will say $5 but I’m running a current promotion that makes it $3 per month for life, it will never go up on you, you’ll see the discount at the check out page)
already a paid subscriber and can’t find the chat?
Download the Substack app, tap the chat icon at the bottom, and look for GLP1 Bestiies. If you’re having trouble finding it, reply to this post and I’ll help you get in.
xo, Nyk
