This episode breaks down why needing appetite suppression to maintain fat loss is rarely a “your body is broken forever” situation. It’s usually a missing foundation problem: lost muscle, a downshifted metabolism from chronic under-fueling, poor insulin sensitivity, and zero metabolic infrastructure built while the scale was dropping.

This is not an anti-GLP episode. It’s an anti-misuse episode.

Jess and Jill unpack what GLP-1 agonists can be excellent for in the right context, and why “more is better” is one of the fastest ways to trade weight loss for strength loss, cycle disruption, fatigue, flat mood, GI issues, and rebound regain. You’ll also hear the non-negotiables that should be in place during GLP use (protein, progressive resistance training, strategic calories, and an actual exit plan), plus the red flags that mean it’s time to reassess the dose, the strategy, or the provider.

If you’ve been told your only option is staying on a low dose forever, this episode is a needed reset. When it comes to sustainable fat loss, the most powerful “maintenance drug” is muscle.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why a “forever dose” often signals the root issue was never addressed
• The concept of minimum effective dose and why higher doses can backfire
• The real health risks of staying low-cal long term, with or without GLP-1s
• How muscle tissue protects fat loss results through insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility
• Natural ways to support satiety signaling and insulin sensitivity that don’t require suppression
• The exit strategy questions every responsible provider should be asking
