In this episode, Jenny is joined by nurse practitioner and TSG Assistant Coach Nadine, to dive into the rising use of GLP-1 medications in the health and fitness world and what it really takes to make them effective. While these medications can reduce appetite and support weight loss by mimicking natural hormones, they’re not a magic solution. This discussion emphasizes the critical role of lifestyle—highlighting the need for resistance training, high-protein nutrition, and ongoing coaching support.

Jenny and Nadine explore the challenges that come with GLP-1 use, from side effects like nausea to difficulties with protein intake and emotional eating. You’ll hear why coaches and healthcare providers must work together to guide clients safely and effectively, and how education, community, and strategy are key to success.

Key Topics:

• What GLP-1 medications are and how they work
• Why lifestyle still matters: “You need to do some of the work”
• The importance of protein and strength training
• Supporting clients with food choices and emotional eating
• Building partnerships with healthcare providers

Whether you’re a coach, client, or curious learner, this episode offers valuable insights into responsibly integrating GLP-1 medications into a long-term health journey.
