GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs: My Balanced Take
Had you asked me 10 years ago what I thought about GLP-1 weight loss drugs, I would have given you a very different (and probably harsh) answer.
I’ve always been about natural, holistic approaches to weight loss — and that part hasn’t changed. But what has changed is my perspective on the struggle many people face.
The truth? The weight loss journey is tough. And the conversation around it is often filled with taboo, misinformation, and judgment.
As a weight loss coach, I sometimes struggle to even identify with that title, because the space can feel so icky. The people who suffer most in this environment are the very ones who need help: smart, strong, capable men and women who’ve battled their bodies for years and endured relentless self-criticism and societal pressure.
For some of them, GLP-1 medications may offer the extra support they’ve been missing. A step forward — not a weakness.
GLP-1s: Not Good or Bad, but Complex
Let me be clear: I’m not here to endorse or discredit these medications.
What I am saying is that this is a nuanced conversation. Anyone with maturity and compassion can agree — there’s no room for judgment around someone’s personal health choices.
The key point is this: drugs will never outrun diet and lifestyle.
Why Lifestyle Still Matters
Whether or not you use GLP-1s, your health ultimately depends on:
* Proper nourishment
* Hydration
* Sleep
* Movement
* Mindset
These are the foundations. Medications can support progress, but they don’t replace these non-negotiables.
Creating Lasting Change
The conversation about weight loss shouldn’t be framed as “Drugs OR Natural.” Instead, it’s about building habits and foundations that create lasting, sustainable health — no matter which path you choose.
That’s exactly what I’ll be covering in my upcoming free webinar, where I’ll walk you through my holistic coaching program.
