If that short was showing a vibrating lid massager or a device that heats + pulsates, yeah those can help. The idea is heat to liquefy the oil and vibration to push it out. They're not magic but used properly they speed up what warm compresses do and are good if you're lazy about the manual massage.

If you really hate cooking, keep a few reliable shortcuts. Good frozen veg, canned beans, and a decent pre-cooked grain are lifesavers. Throw them together with a simple sauce or olive oil and lemon and you've got something healthy in five minutes.

Yes, it works, but it's not all sunshine. I lost weight fast, but my digestion never went back to normal. Some weeks I felt like food just sat in my stomach for hours, and then I'd be backed up or the complete opposite. I didn't connect it at first until I came across news about lawsuits being filed. The Ozempic lawsuit talks about stomach paralysis, bowel blockages, and other side effects that sounded a little too familiar to me. So while I can't say don't use it, I'd say be very cautious and talk to your doctor about risks beyond just the usual "nausea" they mention

I’d say go for something with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, CeraVe or Eucerin are solid options. They’re not fancy but actually repair your skin barrier instead of just masking dryness.

Most nootropics beyond that tend to have mixed evidence. Things like Alpha-GPC or Rhodiola can help some people, but consistency, sleep, and hydration will always do more than any capsule

You could try simplifying your vegan meals before quitting completely. Sometimes it’s not the vegan diet itself, but how complicated we make it. Frozen veggies, canned beans, tofu. But if you’re really not feeling it, no shame in adding some eggs or fish to make life easier.
