GLP-1s are everywhere right now—and so is the debate about whether they’re “cheating” when it comes to weight loss. In this episode of The Life You Crave, I’m breaking down the hype, the myths, and the real story behind these medications, especially for women navigating a lifelong struggle with food and weight.

Here’s the thing: weight management isn’t just about willpower—it’s about genetics, hormones, environment, and yes, lifestyle choices. GLP-1s can quiet that relentless food noise in your head (you know, the constant cravings and mental chatter about what’s in the pantry), but they don’t automatically give you the mindset and habits to keep the weight off for good.

I’ll share how these meds work on a chemical level—similar to how my coaching helps reduce hunger and cravings—but why they’re only part of the puzzle. You’ll hear client stories, practical insights, and why I believe the most powerful approach is a mix of medical tools and sustainable lifestyle shifts.

If you’ve ever wondered whether GLP-1s are a “shortcut” or how they fit into a long-term weight loss plan, this episode will give you a fresh, judgment-free perspective—and maybe even some mental real estate back.
