In this Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast episode, host and Nutrition Coach Nicole Hagen breaks down the things you need to know about GLP-1 medications: what they actually do, who they’re designed for, what realistic expectations should be, and why they are a powerful tool but not a replacement for healthy eating and movement habits.

This episode explores the science behind GLP-1 medications, clears up common misconceptions, and answers the important question: What can coaching provide that GLP-1s can’t? If you’ve been curious about these medications, are currently using one, or are wondering how they fit into a sustainable weight loss plan, this conversation will help you think critically and realistically about long-term success.

Throughout this episode, you’ll learn:

• What GLP-1 medications do in the body and how they support appetite regulation

• Who the research shows GLP-1 medications are most appropriate for

• What realistic expectations look like when it comes to long-term use vs. transitioning off

• Why weight regain often happens after stopping 

• What coaching provides that medication alone cannot

If you have questions about GLP-1’s and want to approach weight loss in a way that prioritizes sustainability over quick fixes, this episode will help you understand how medication and habit-building work together to make it happen.
