9 GLP-1 Truths I Wish I'd Known Sooner (From a 52-Year-Old Nutritionist)
Tue Jan 27 2026
If you've been doing everything "right" and your body still feels stuck…This episode is for you.
Low energy.
Weight that won't budge.
Bloating, joint pain, inflammation.
Food noise that feels louder than ever.
That was me too.
I'm a 52-year-old holistic nutritionist & Life Coach—and I was deeply skeptical of GLP-1s.
The side effects? Muscle loss? Ozempic-face? Dependence? Hard pass.
But then something kept happening.
More than a few of my forward-thinking clients quietly shared the same story.
They were microdosing GLP-1s with progressive doctors — and their bodies were responding in ways I couldn't ignore.
That's when it clicked:
My problem wasn't perimenopause.
My problem was a closed mind.
So I did what I always do — I learned. I went deep into the research and started this podcast to understand what actually works…and what doesn't.
In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing the 9 GLP-1 truths I wish I'd known sooner.
No hype. No fear. Just a grounded, holistic perspective.
