The GLP-1 Myth: What Actually Creates Lasting Change
Sun Feb 08 2026
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro are everywhere — praised as quick fixes for weight loss and blood sugar control. But are they truly supporting long-term health… or just masking deeper metabolic issues?
In this episode of The Holistic Health & Hormones Podcast, Eli Huang is joined once again by nutrition coach and personal trainer Emma Aguirre to unpack the truth behind GLP-1 drugs, how they work in the body, and why sustainable health goes far beyond appetite suppression.
Together, we explore:
• What GLP-1 medications actually do — and their hidden limitations
• Why quick-fix weight loss often leads to rebound and frustration
• The impact of appetite suppression on hormones, nutrition, and metabolism
• How coaching, nutrition, and movement support true metabolic healing
• The role of mindset, self-love, and lifestyle habits in lasting transformation
• Practical strategies for transitioning off medication safely and sustainably
If you’ve considered GLP-1 drugs, are currently on them, or want to understand a more holistic path to weight loss and hormone balance, this episode offers grounded insight, compassion, and real-world guidance.
🎧 Tune in to learn how to move beyond quick fixes and build health that lasts — from the inside out.
