Our Story
Nice To Meet You!
We're Sarah and Allison - just two women in our mid-40s who've been exactly where you are. We met in a co-working space while we were both on GLP-1 meds, we bonded over finding new products to help us along our journey. Combined we have lost over 150 pounds!! We've dealt with the nausea, the hair loss, the cabinet full of products that didn't work, and the 2 AM Google searches. We get it because we're living it, and we're here to make your journey just as fun as ours.
Hello, I'm Allison
My weight has been a rollercoaster my entire life. I’ve gone up, I’ve gone down, and I’ve tried just about every diet out there hoping one would finally stick. Each time I thought I had it figured out, the ride would drop again, and I’d be right back where I started—frustrated, exhausted, and wondering if lasting change was possible.
Three years ago, when hardly anyone was talking about GLP-1s, I decided to take a chance. There wasn’t much information at the time, and I felt like I was stepping into the unknown. What I did know was that I was ready to stop living on the rollercoaster and start looking for something sustainable.
The beginning wasn’t easy. I dealt with all the side effects. I had nausea that made me question if it was worth it, fatigue that slowed me down, headaches that wouldn't go away, and the worse dry mouth I've ever had. It felt like another uphill climb. But this time, I kept going. I learned to listen to my body, adjust, and find the balance that worked for me. I lost over 40 pounds in about six months and have been in maintenance ever since.
Today, I’m in a completely different place. My weight's been consistent for two and a half years now. I’ve found the right supplements, the right proteins, the right snacks that give me energy, confidence, and help maintain my weight. I’m no longer stuck on the endless ride up and down. I feel like a new person, finally able to step off the rollercoaster and live with steadiness, strength, and hope for what comes next.
Hey, I'm Sarah
I'm Sarah, after years of yo-yo up's and downs, I've lost 100 pounds so far (with 10 more to go - almost there!), and along the way I've tried just about every companion product you can imagine. Some were game-changers. Others... well, let's just say my bathroom cabinet tells a pretty good story of trial and error.
I have spent the past twenty-five years of my career in the CPG and supplement industry, I know a lot about the brands and products coming to market, but the past two years on Mounjaro and ZepBound has amplified that knowledge as I’ve gone deeper into research and discovery for my own needs.
Further, I've been learning more about genetics and weight-losss, having an active MCR4-CC obesity gene. I believe obesity is a medical condition and I want to become a bigger advocate for that classification through this company and our collective efforts.
This journey is so much better when you have a community around you, filled with people who get it. People who understand that some days you feel unstoppable, and other days your wishing for more energy and a nap.
That's why I'm here, to connect our amazing community with brands that can actually help us succeed. Let's discover some incredible products together and celebrate every win along the way.
Why my companion box?
We were tired of three things:
1. Wasting money on products that didn't work
Between the two of us, we've spent thousands of dollars on full-size products that ended up in the back of the cabinet or in the trash. There had to be a better way.
2. Sorting through marketing BS
Every week, dozens of new products launch claiming to be "perfect for GLP-1 users." Most are just jumping on the trend. We wanted real testing, honest reviews, and products that actually deliver.
3. Feeling alone in the journey
The GLP-1 journey can be isolating. Insurance issues, side effects, people who don't get it - we want to build a community where you're not just another customer, you're part of something bigger.
So we created My Companion Box - the subscription box we wished existed when we started. A place where you can try products risk-free, get honest guidance, and connect with people who actually understand what you're going through.
