Are GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro the future of fat loss, or just another excuse to skip the hard work? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the truth behind the hype. These drugs were made for managing blood sugar in type 2 diabetics, but now they're being abused as quick fixes by people who refuse to lift, eat real food, or build discipline.

 

I explain exactly how GLP-1s work, how they suppress appetite, regulate insulin, slow gastric emptying, and why that means absolutely nothing if you're not strength training or hitting your protein targets. 

 

You'll learn the science-backed risks: loss of lean muscle mass, slower metabolism, nutrient deficiencies, and long-term hormonal disruption. I also cover the hidden benefits no one's talking about, visceral fat reduction, neuroprotection, and dopamine rewiring, and why those only matter if you're treating the drug as a catalyst, not a crutch. If you're using GLP-1s and not building real habits, you're just renting results. This episode will show you how to make them work with your training, not instead of it. 

 

Listen up, this one's essential.
