290. Q&A: Dieting, ADHD Meds & Muscle Loss: What You Really Need to Know

In today's solo episode, I'm answering a powerful question from listener Stephanie about a challenge many women face on their fitness journey: what to do when medication suppresses your appetite and you're not eating enough — especially when you're trying to maintain or build muscle. Whether you're taking ADHD medication, weight loss meds, or anything else that impacts your hunger cues… Navigating nutrition can get tricky. And while eating less might seem like a fast track to fat loss, undereating can actually slow your metabolism and lead to unwanted muscle loss. In this episode, I'm breaking down realistic, doable strategies to help you get enough nutrition even on low-appetite days. You'll learn how to fuel your body in a way that supports your muscle and aesthetic goals, keeps your metabolism up, and works with your medication — not against your progress. If muscle tone, strength, and a healthy metabolism are on your goal list, this is one you don't want to miss.
