Over the course of the last few weeks, I have been quietly planning and getting to work. For those of you that are new here at the blog, hello and welcome. Without rehashing the past, 2024 was quite a transformative year in my life. Out of the proverbial ashes of it all, I promised myself to use the beginning of a new calendar year to focus my attention forward to the life I want for myself and to stop at nothing to make it happen.
Moving back to Toronto permanently as soon as I can afford it. Once settled, adopting another dog as a companion. Working on my spiritual & emotional well-being consistently. Preparing myself mentally for all the things that have to happen that I can’t stop. And most importantly of all, I promised myself that I would take my physical health much more seriously for myself.
I’m going to start this post off by saying the following. I am going to be discussing weight because that is a choice I am making for my body. As the title states, I don’t owe anyone an explanation and I have made this decision for myself and with the advise of medical practitioners and experts.
One of the things that really bothered me about last year as someone who shares a part of his life online was seeing how many people in the world feel that they have the right to comment on someone else’s body. What someone chooses to do, or how they live their lives, in no ones business but their own.
I have never shied away from taking about topics that are a bit risky. I was being honest about Botox and fillers years before I was “supposed to.” I’ve had body modification procedures such as truSculpt® by Cutera Canada, and I told you about it honestly.
As I have gotten older, my mortality has been a subject of consideration in my day to day life. From my physical fitness which I want to focus a lot more on, to my diet and what I am consuming every day, I am actively trying to better myself physically because I don’t want end up like members of my family who passed away too early.
So that is why I am looking forward to honestly and openly sharing my journey with Rocky Health and in using myrocky.ca to lose weight using GLP1’s.
So, let’s take a minute to talk about what that means, and why I felt Rocky Health was the best choice for me.

I have been giving this some serious thought for some time now, and decided to use my platform to share openly on my blog and social media what and why this is right for me. Before anyone out there starts salivating at the thought of using this against me, please understand that this isn’t going to be before and after nude photos and numbers on a scale.
I turned to the medical experts at Rocky Health because genetically, I am predisposed to carry extra weight on my body. This has directly affected my metabolism, my libido, my mental health, and my relationship I have with myself over the years. I despise the terms “battling my weight” because it implies that I hate myself, which I do not. However, as I have gotten older, my body has been less receptive to weight loss and this option will help me achieve the goals I want for myself and my life.
There are a few things that drew me to Rocky Health over other telehealth / online pharmacies, specifically when it comes to GLP1s and weight loss.
- Monthly check ins which allows for close monitoring and dose adjustments leading to more effective results vs traditional office visits where follow up appointments are set up in 3-6 months
- They offer a holistic approach with emphasis on the importance of exercise and diet. They provide insights as to how and why it matters to keep patients informed/engaged. This approach helps to reduce chances of rebound weight gain and sets patients up to maintain their weight once treatment has stopped. The thought is that GLP1’s are simply a tool for weight loss and therefore focus on other aspects as equally as important. Their team of medical experts go beyond the traditional advice for diet and incorporate most recent research and evidence base such as the role of the gut microbiome and it how impacts weight.
- 24/7 access to both their pharmacy and clinic who provide advice and support along the way through their online messaging system. Telephone and video calls are also available to suit all preferences.
But Rocky Health isn’t just an online platform for weight loss and support in that journey.

I will also be chatting about how as I have gotten older, and with the addition of anti-depressants to my life, my libido and sex life have changed a lot. I haven’t seen the topic talked about enough, and for those men out there who feel alone or unable to find resources online about what they are experiencing, I’m going to be honest about what I have experienced.
So yes, we’re going to get into it in the coming months as well.

I want to be more honest about the changes I am making in my life to feel more confident, sexier, healthier and happier. And with the help of the team at Rocky Health as my new partner, I am now equipped with the tools and the knowledge to share about it with you all openly and honestly.
So, here’s where I am today. I’ve created my profile on myrocky.ca, I’ve filled out the online questionnaire and have provided the blood work requested. I’ve met with a medical practitioner virtually, and I have ordered my Wegovy which is the GLP1 we have agreed is best to meet my weight loss needs. I’ve also ordered other medication and supplements that I will share with you on social media, and over the course of the next year, we are going to do this together.
For those of you out there considering making a change in your life like the ones I am making, I encourage you to head to myrocky.ca today to see if their services are right for you.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post. If you’re not already, follow me on all social media platforms at @dothedaniel as I share in real time these adventures and so much more!
Don’t forget to be kind & a little more honest with yourself this year
