Ep 83 | What You Need to Know Before Going on GLP-1s for Weight Loss

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now, and they can be incredibly effective for weight loss. But here's what most people aren't talking about: if you use these medications without also changing your eating habits and building muscle through resistance training, you're setting yourself up to regain all the weight you lost—and possibly even more.In this episode, I break down how GLP-1s actually work, why they can be a helpful tool for some people, and the critical mistakes I'm seeing that lead to rapid weight regain. I'll explain why losing muscle mass while on these medications slows down your metabolism, making it even harder to keep weight off long-term. More importantly, I'll share exactly what you need to be doing alongside the medication to ensure lasting success.Whether you're considering a GLP-1, currently taking one, or just curious about how these drugs work, this episode will give you a realistic, shame-free look at what it takes to lose fat and actually keep it off for good. No magic bullets—just evidence-based strategies that work. Links:Watch on YoutubeEpisode BlogApply to Work With Me: 1-on-1 CoachingGains Club MembershipGet My Workout AppLivestreams on Twitch
