Wondering if you should go on a GLP-1 for weight loss?

Feel like you’ve tried everything—clean eating, consistent workouts, maybe even a dietitian or a diet plan—and still the scale won’t budge?

Does it seem like everyone around you is on a GLP-1, and now you're questioning if it’s time for you to do the same, even though something deep down says, “I think I can do this on my own if I just had the right support.”

Let’s clear the confusion.

I’m sharing:

• The honest truth about what GLP-1s can and can’t do
• What has to be in place if you want lasting results (GLP-1 or not)
• Real talk about why most people regain weight after stopping these meds
• Why strength training and protein matter more than ever
• What it actually means when the scale plateaus after losing 5-10% of your weight
• How one client lost 10 lbs without medication
• How to decide when it’s time to bring GLP-1s into the picture
• What no one is talking about when it comes to weight loss biology and willpower

Plus, I’m breaking down the 4 key points you need to know before going on a GLP-1—and why your habits are still the foundation no matter which path you take.

Did you see the new upside-down food pyramid and think, “Wait… what?”

Are you wondering what these new guidelines actually mean for weight loss, health, and your daily meals as a busy mom?

Are you fustrated by the mixed messages around carbs, protein, & fats?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the new 2026–2030 Dietary Guidelines—what I think about them and what they really mean for weight loss and general health.

You’ll learn what I like, what I don’t like, and how to interpret them through the lens of sustainable weight loss.

🎧Tune in for a mix of blunt commentary, practical advice, and a big reminder that what you do most of the time matters more than what you do every once in a while.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why the old food pyramid got scrapped—and what replaced it
• What stood out to me right away
• Why carbs aren’t the enemy—and how to include them in your diet and still lose weight
• The truth about blood sugar, metabolism, and how to build balanced meals
• The pros and cons of full-fat vs. non-fat dairy for weight loss
• What the Blue Zones can teach us about living longer and eating better
• How to use MyPlate—even if the USDA is over it
