Although the podcast host was admittedly aware of the side effects before she started taking tirzepatide, she assumed that taking a small dose of it would not produce the same severity as the full amount. In their eyes, “microdosing” tirzepatide was safer than taking the “normal dose.”

“I was so scared to take it,” Bunnie confessed to XO, noting she had nightmares about it before.

She added: “I live 100 percent completely naturally. I literally have nothing in my body, so taking tirzepatide at all is a big decision for me.”

While tirzepatide is said to help reduce appetite, Bunnie XO said she is still “so hungry” for the drug. However, she claims to have woken up “a pound and a half lighter” after her terrible night in the bathroom.

Like semaglutide, tirzepatide is taken in the form of injections. The drug is sold under two brands: Mounjaro and Zepbound.

Bunnie XO is experimenting with the weight loss drug after her husband admitted he lost over 30 pounds by exercising and adopting a new diet.
