I Lost 120lbs on GLP-1s: Mistakes I’d NEVER Make Again (3 Years In)

Losing 120 pounds on a GLP-1 journey taught me lessons I wish I knew on day one. Whether you are starting Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, these are the GLP-1 mistakes I made over the last 3 years and exactly what I would do differently today to prioritize health, muscle, and long-term success. In this episode, I’m sharing my real-life experience with weight loss over 50, including, the truth about protein intake, and why HRT and strength training were the missing pieces of my puzzle. This isn't just about the medication; it’s about the lifestyle shift required to reinvent your life. In this video/podcast, we cover: Why "just losing weight" isn't the goal. The things I track that actually made a difference. Staying on top of closet cleaning/celebrating small wins. Why staying on top of GLP-1 news is so important.
