\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tHealth and wellness influencer Janelle Rohner has been using a GLP-1 medication to lose weight. \u201cThis isn\u2019t easy to say, but I owe it to you to be honest. Janelle Rohner is microdosing a GLP-1,\u201d Rohner, 37, wrote in a YouTube description for a Wednesday, April 23, video. \u201cI\u2019ve quietly been working on my mental [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201c[Taking a GLP-1] just helped me regain a sense of control<\/a>, and it\u2019s something that I don\u2019t want to be ashamed of,\u201d Rohner noted at the time. \u201cI don\u2019t think other women or men, who are using this tool should feel ashamed either because if there\u2019s a tool out there that can help with your mental and physical health, you deserve to explore that without feeling guilty.\u201d<\/p>\nAfter dropping approximately 10 pounds, Rohner said that she started \u201cmicrodosing\u201d the GLP-1.<\/p>\n
\u201cI switched to microdosing for maintenance, and I would, maybe, do a microdose once a month,\u201d she added. \u201cI also paired those new lifestyle changes with something that was a real game changer for me \u2014 I started seeing a therapist regularly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quitting the Keto Diet<\/b><\/h3>\n
In 2021, Rohner switched from following the Keto diet to a low-carb meal plan. (A ketogenic diet involves consuming a very low amount of carbohydrates, replacing them with fat to help the body burn fat for energy.)<\/p>\n
\u201cKeto was the right answer for me for a long time,\u201d she said in a November 2021 YouTube video<\/a>. \u201cI enjoyed it, it was fun [and] I was having fun with food. I felt great [and] I was losing weight.\u201d<\/p>\nShe claimed that an onslaught of fan criticism and \u201chate\u201d brought her to a toxic place that made her no longer want to keep up with the plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople were mad I wasn\u2019t eating \u2018bread.\u2019 Then, I ate bread and they were like, \u2018She\u2019s a quitter. She\u2019s a yo-yo dieter.\u2019 I just felt, like, I couldn\u2019t do anything right. I always said I would do keto as long as it was fun and sustainable and felt good and worked for me. The hate and negativity has really pushed me to a place where it\u2019s not good for me anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead, Rohner started working with a nutritionist to plan her meals while prioritizing \u201cbalance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rohner often offers fans advice on nutrition via YouTube and her social media channels. (In addition to working as a nurse, Rohner is also a registered macro coach.)<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to stress that you should not be in extended deficits for extended periods of time,\u201d Rohner said in a February 2023 YouTube<\/a> video, discussing her month-long workout and diet challenges. \u201cAll it\u2019s going to do is lower your metabolism and it\u2019s going to become your new normal.

Now that Rohner has lost around 45 pounds, she makes sure to eat a protein-heavy diet. In a February 2025 Instagram<\/a> video, she revealed her daily meals during an 8-hour nursing shift.
