Some of the best conversations start with listener questions, especially the ones that come from feeling stuck, confused, or wondering, 'is this normal?'

In this special Q&A episode, I'm tackling two listener questions. One is about unexpected dryness while taking a GLP-1 medication. The other is a much bigger one: what to do when weight loss slows down after an initial drop, even though you feel like you’re trying.

Join me as I talk about the importance of success beyond the scale, why BMI is useless without body composition data, and why movement matters more for your brain than your waistline.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated, stalled, or unsure what to focus on next, this episode will help you think about your situation a little differently.
