Irina Solomonova from ‘Love Is Blind’ Opens Up About Her Experience with GLP-1: It’s More Than Just a Quick Solution
Irina Solomonova Shares Wellness Journey with GLP-1 Medication
In a recent TikTok video, Love Is Blind alum Irina Solomonova opened up about her personal wellness journey, revealing that she has been using the GLP-1 medication tirzepatide as part of her weight loss regimen. At 29, Irina shared insights from her first month on the treatment, stating, “I started at 25 units and have recently bumped up to 50 after five weeks.”
Irina, known for her brief appearance on the fourth season of the Netflix dating show, emphasized the mental benefits of her new routine. “No. 1, the food noise going down has been the biggest change for me,” she explained. “Being on tirzepatide has generally helped my mind feel so much calmer. I’m not as anxious, and I’m not as fixated on food all day, which feels so new to me.”
To complement the medication, Irina has also modified her diet, focusing on high-protein meals while reducing heavy fats. A visit to her doctor led to the GLP-1 prescription after she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The Cleveland Clinic notes that PCOS can result in excessive hormone production, leading to irregular menstrual cycles and unpredictable ovulation.
“I did get bloodwork done during this process, not before, just to make sure everything looked good. That’s actually when I found out I had PCOS,” Irina stated. She noted that her doctor had suggested GLP-1s to help address her PCOS symptoms, leading to a decrease in inflammation.
Despite the positive changes in her mental clarity, Irina admitted that the weight loss has not been as dramatic as she had hoped. She reflected, “I thought I’d be further down by now, but I’m learning that slow and steady is actually what’s best for my body. This isn’t a quick fix thing for me; it’s more about tuning into how I feel and adjusting doses when it makes sense.”
Irina concluded her update by stressing a critical lesson learned through her journey: “I’m becoming way more in tune with my body and what I need and what doesn’t work for me, how movement fits in even on the days it feels really hard. I’m not a professional; this is just my personal experience.”
Irina Solomonova gained prominence in the reality TV landscape after her engagement to Zack Goytowski during Love Is Blind‘s fourth season. The couple, however, ended their engagement shortly after meeting in person. Zack has since married Bliss Poureetezadi-Goytowski, and they welcomed a daughter, Galileo, in May 2024.
