E. 173 How To Use GLP-1s Without Losing Muscle or Regaining Weight | Dr. Christle Guevarra

GLP-1 medications have completely changed the conversation around fat loss—but are they actually the right tool for you?In this episode, I sit down with family and sports medicine physician Dr. Christle Guevarra to explore the science, misconceptions, and real-world application of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and tirzepatide.We discuss how these medications influence hunger, food noise, reward pathways, and long-term behavior change, while also addressing common concerns surrounding muscle loss, dosing, training performance, libido, gray market peptides, and what happens after coming off the medication.Whether you're considering GLP-1s yourself, coaching clients who use them, or simply want an evidence-based understanding of these medications, this conversation provides the nuance that's often missing online.Timestamps:- [00:00 – 05:04] – Dr. Christle Guevarra's Background & Why GLP-1 Medications Changed Weight Loss- [05:04 – 10:09] – How GLP-1s Reduce Food Noise & Reward-Driven Eating- [10:09 – 19:12] – Scarcity Mindset, Food Behaviors & Who Benefits Most- [19:12 – 23:17] – Finding The Right GLP-1 Dose Without Sacrificing Nutrition- [23:17 – 26:27] – Why Aggressive Fat Loss & Oversized Deficits Backfire- [26:27 – 31:08] – Muscle Building, Staying Lean & Using GLP-1s Beyond Fat Loss- [31:08 – 32:40] – Building Sustainable Habits Before Coming Off Medication- [32:40 – 37:20] – What Happens After GLP-1s?
