281:GLP 1s and Fat Loss, How to Protect Your Metabolism, Muscle, and Long Term Results

OVERVIEW:

GLP 1s are everywhere right now, especially for women in their late 30s, 40s, and beyond.

While these medications can be a helpful tool, they are not the strategy.

In this episode, I am breaking down what I am seeing behind the scenes with my clients and why so many women. Eating less without a plan is how you lose muscle, not just fat, so having a strategy is KEY.

When you lose muscle,  your metabolism slows down, your energy drops, and maintaining your results becomes that much harder.

If you are currently using GLP 1s or considering them, this episode will help you understand exactly what you need to focus on to protect your metabolism and get results you can actually keep.

We are talking about the non-negotiables that most women are missing, including protein, calories, and strength training.

This is not about doing more. It is about doing the right things in the right order for your body.
