You’ve probably seen it all over social media GLP's, and maybe even wondered if a GLP-1 medication could be the answer you’ve been looking for. But here’s the thing: while these meds can be powerful tools, they’re not magic, and they’re definitely not meant to replace the habits that actually create lasting change.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what GLP-1s really are, who they were designed for, and how to protect your health if you choose to use one.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

  • What GLP-1s are and how they actually work in your body

  • The medical conditions they were intended to treat (and what they don’t fix)

  • The risks of using them as a shortcut — including the yo-yo cycle of rapid loss and regain

  • Why protecting your muscle with protein + resistance training is non-negotiable

  • How to use a “quieter appetite” season as a reset, not a bypass

  • The questions to ask yourself before deciding if this tool is right for you

If you’ve been curious about GLP-1s, this episode will give you clarity, context, and the honest truth about what they can — and can’t — do for your body and your goals.
