Maybe even wondered should YOU be on one?In this long-overdue episode, I’m cutting through the confusion with my honest, no-BS take on GLP-1 medications—what they actually do (and what they absolutely don’t), the biggest myths no one’s talking about, and my real thoughts as a weight loss dietitian and coach. I’m sharing stories from real clients, the muscle loss nobody warned you about, and what you actually need to focus on if you want long-term, sustainable results—GLP-1 or not.We’re talking appetite vs. emotions, why so many women regain weight after stopping meds, and the non-negotiable mindset shifts you have to make if you want to keep the weight off—plus, my honest answer to “Should I take it?”If you’re on GLP-1s, curious about them, or feeling all kinds of ways about this whole convo, this episode is 100% for you.
