In today’s episode, I’m joined by my former 1:1 coaching client Alisha, who has lost over 30 pounds through two very different chapters of her weight loss journey: first without medication inside our 90 Day Fit Babe Body program, and more recently with the support of a GLP-1.
After losing 15 pounds during coaching, Alisha knew how to structure her meals, prioritize protein, and lose fat without starving herself. But after navigating menopause and what she calls “calorie deficit fatigue,” she eventually realized she needed something different after more than two years of debating whether to try an injectable.
Not instead of the habits she had built, but alongside them.
In this episode, Alisha gets incredibly candid about why she ultimately chose to start a GLP-1, the stigma she had to work through, and what losing another 20 pounds on medication has actually looked like. We talk about side effects, appetite, maintaining muscle, eating enough, and why she firmly believes that the medication still doesn’t do the work for you.
If you’re considering a weight loss medication, navigating weight loss during menopause, or simply curious about what losing weight with AND without a GLP-1 can really look like, you’re going to love Alisha’s refreshingly honest perspective.
