GLP-1 medications and peptides are changing modern medicine, but many people are using them in a way that quietly sabotages health. In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why GLP-1s are not inherently “bad,” and why the real danger is taking doses that suppress appetite so aggressively you stop eating, skip protein, avoid strength training, and never address the root causes behind weight gain.

She explains why common GLP-1 “side effects” are often the downstream effects of undereating, dehydration, slowed digestion, nutrient depletion, and muscle loss, including constipation, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, reflux, hair loss, and the “skinny fat” outcome (lower scale weight but higher body fat and low lean mass).

Lizzie also covers the long game: what happens when someone stops using GLP-1s without building foundational habits first, and why rebound weight gain can happen rapidly. If you want fat loss without sacrificing metabolism, thyroid health, and muscle, this episode lays out what to do before, during, and after a GLP-1 journey.

1. Why “I can’t eat for two days” is a sign your dose may be too high
2. Why constipation on GLP-1s often comes from not eating enough (and not hydrating enough)
3. What causes nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog, and how to reduce them
4. Why hair loss is often driven by macro + micronutrient deficiency, not “the drug itself”
5. How low intake can contribute to depleted B vitamins and iron issues
6. How muscle loss happens on GLP-1s, and why it matters for long-term health
7. The “skinny fat” trap, losing weight while losing strength and metabolic power
8. Why rebound weight gain can happen after stopping Ozempic-like meds, and how to prevent it
9. The link between undereating and anxiety, depression, and dopamine disruption
10. Why your thyroid is the “fire” of metabolism, and how long deficits can backfire
11. Why peptides should be the “cherry on top,” not the foundation
12. When GLP-1s may not work well at all (hidden stress load, toxins, and other root issues)

We talk about:

Stress isn’t just about having too much on your plate. It’s about how your body responds to pressure, and why the same stressors affect people completely differently.

In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with board-certified neurologist turned Eastern Medicine expert Trupti Gokani, MD, author of The Stress Rx, to unpack why stress is not a mindset issue, but a physiological and nervous-system pattern rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom.

Together, they explore how stress shows up through three distinct stress personalities (Windy, Fiery, and Earthy), how chronic stress dysregulates cortisol, digestion, immunity, sleep, hormones, and the microbiome, and why many women remain stuck in burnout, anxiety, inflammation, or fatigue despite “doing everything right.”

Lizzie and Trupti also discuss the deep connection between emotions, identity, illness, and the body, including how suppressed self-expression, misaligned relationships, and long-term internal pressure can manifest as thyroid issues, sleep disturbances, immune dysfunction, and chronic illness.

This episode is for anyone who feels like stress keeps showing up in their body, even when their life looks “fine,” and who’s ready to stop managing symptoms and start understanding why their body is responding the way it is.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why stress is not about workload, but about internal vs external demand
2. The three Ayurvedic stress personalities and how they show up in the body
3. How chronic stress dysregulates cortisol, sleep, digestion, and immunity
4. Why anxiety, burnout, inflammation, and fatigue are stress responses, not failures
5. The connection between suppressed emotions, the throat, and thyroid health
6. How relationships, values, and identity mismatches create physical illness
7. Why labeling illness can reinforce symptoms instead of healing them
8. How nervous system regulation restores resilience and energy
9. Practical awareness tools to identify your stress pattern and break the cycle
10. Why healing stress starts with understanding yourself, not fixing yourself

We talk about:

1. 00:00 Why stress needs to be understood differently
2. 02:00 Trupti’s journey from neurology to Eastern medicine
3. 05:00 Sleep disruption as an early stress warning sign
4. 08:30 Why Western medicine misses the root of stress

If you’ve been eating less, trying harder, and still feeling tired, puffy, inflamed, and stuck, your metabolism isn’t broken. It’s overwhelmed.

In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie breaks down why chronic dieting and long-term under-eating slow metabolic function instead of improving it, especially for women. January often convinces people that something is wrong with their bodies, but in reality, it’s the stress, restriction, and lack of nourishment that keep the body in survival mode.

Lizzie explains what metabolism actually does in the body, how dieting downregulates thyroid function, disrupts blood sugar, raises cortisol, and leads to inflammation, fatigue, cravings, and stubborn weight. She walks through why eating less backfires, how being underfed and overstressed impacts hormones and the nervous system, and why food guilt creates real physiological stress.

You’ll learn why cravings are not a lack of willpower, why sugar and carb cravings often point to protein and nutrient deficiencies, and how proper nourishment restores energy, digestion, sleep, focus, and metabolic function. Lizzie also shares how safety, structure, and support matter more than discipline when it comes to sustainable health.

This episode is for anyone ready to stop dieting, stop punishing their body, and start supporting it in a way that actually works.
