Have you ever wondered why some people seem to drop weight quickly on medications like Wegovy or Zepbound, while others barely budge?
The truth is, weight loss isn’t as simple as eating less or moving more and even powerful medications don’t work the same for everyone. Results often depend on how these drugs are used, the lifestyle habits that support them, and individual factors like metabolism, other health conditions, and how well the body tolerates treatment.
That’s why it’s important to rethink what “success” really means. For many, losing just 5% to 10% of body weight can make a huge difference, improving blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol enough to lower the risk of serious health issues—even if the scale doesn’t land exactly where they hoped.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- What success really looks like on Wegovy or Zepbound
- Why type 2 diabetes makes weight loss harder, even with GLP-1s
- How alcohol use is one of the top reasons people don’t see expected results
- The role of habit snacking and how it can stall progress
- What to do when side effects get in the way
- When these medications alone aren’t enough
- And what to explore if nothing seems to be working
Hit play to find out the top reasons people fall short on Wegovy or Zepbound, how to spot them, and what might finally help you see progress.
