Why is it that nearly every woman hitting a GLP-1 weight-loss plateau thinks she needs  more medication?  And what if the real solution is actually…  more metabolic health?

 I hear this all the time when I'm coaching clients inside our Finally F**king Free program. And the truth is—your body isn't failing you. It's signaling it needs deeper support.

 That's why I brought on today's guest, Dr. Dean Jones. He's a holistic obesity specialist who understands metabolic repair because he's lived this journey himself. And what I love is how aligned his philosophy is with what we teach here—using GLP-1s as a tool, not a crutch.

 Today we're diving into what actually causes plateaus, how to get unstuck without starving or losing muscle, and why lower doses combined with a holistic approach create the most sustainable transformation.

 So let's get into it!
