E. 173 How To Use GLP-1s Without Losing Muscle or Regaining Weight | Dr. Christle Guevarra
About this episode
The episode discusses the use of GLP-1 medications for fat loss while preserving muscle and addresses common misconceptions and concerns.
GLP-1 medications have completely changed the conversation around fat loss—but are they actually the right tool for you? In this episode, I sit down with family and sports medicine physician Dr. Christle Guevarra to explore the science, misconceptions, and real-world application of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and tirzepatide. We discuss how these medications influence hunger, food noise, reward pathways, and long-term behavior change, while also addressing common concerns surrounding muscle loss, dosing, training performance, libido, gray market peptides, and what happens after coming off the medication. Whether you're considering GLP-1s yourself, coaching clients who use them, or simply want an evidence-based understanding of these medications, this conversation provides the nuance that's often missing online.
