133| What's The Deal With GLP-1 Medications? What Are They And Should You Use Them

from Effective Weight Loss for Moms | Workout Routines, Lose Weight, Meal Planning, Healthy Habits, Fat Loss · host Rachel DeSonier | Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, Fat Loss Coach, Mom of 5

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now. But what are they really? And should you use them for weight loss? In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what GLP-1 agonist medications do, how they work in your body, and the big-picture pros and cons—especially if you’re a busy mom trying to lose weight in a sustainable way. I also share my perspective as someone who used to work in a bariatric clinic and has seen what happens when people rely on weight loss tools without building the habits to support them. What you'll learn: What GLP-1 medications are and how they promote weight loss The real concern with muscle loss on these meds Why strength training and protein matter more than ever How to protect your metabolism during weight loss What it actually takes to maintain results long term If you’re taking a GLP-1, thinking about it, or just trying to lose weight and feel good in your body, this episode will help you understand how to build a plan that works with or without medication. Because fat loss might be the goal—but muscle and metabolism are what keep it off. 👉🏽 Want support on your journey?
