Are GLP-1 Medications Right for You? What You Really Need to Know First

Have you been hearing a lot about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and wondering if they might be the magic fix—or if they’re just another fad? Maybe you’ve already started using one, but feel unsure how to support your body while you’re on it. In this honest and empowering episode, I sit down with certified nutrition coach Danielle McColloch to talk about what no one else is saying: how to use GLP-1s safely, effectively, and with your long-term wellness in mind.

Whether you’re just curious or deep in the journey already, you’ll walk away with practical strategies and a whole lot of reassurance that you don’t have to do it perfectly—you just have to do it intentionally.

In this episode:

• Danielle’s personal journey from food perfectionism to freedom—with the help of GLP-1s
• How GLP-1 medications can change your metabolism and relationship with food
• The 4 non-negotiables every woman needs to support her body on these medications
• Why building muscle is critical (and what to do if you don’t know where to start)
• A mindset shift that helps reduce food guilt and rebuild trust with your body
• How stress and shame affect digestion, metabolism, and weight
• Why the “calories in, calories out” model is too simplistic for women in midlife
