GLP-1 medications tend to get talked about in extremes. They’re either miracle drugs that solve the weight problem, or they’re dangerous shortcuts people should avoid. In this episode, I get out of those two camps and talk about what these medications can actually do, and where things can go wrong when the medication becomes the entire strategy.

You’ll hear about the significant weight-loss and health benefits being seen with GLP-1 medications, but also the other side of the conversation: GI side effects, inadequate nutrition, loss of lean mass, and what can happen when the medication is discontinued. I'll explain why protein alone isn’t enough to protect muscle, why resistance training matters, and why your maintenance plan should start long before you reach your goal weight. The goal isn’t to become the lightest version of yourself. It’s to become healthier, stronger, and more metabolically resilient.
