Why Your GLP-1 Stopped Working: 5 Proven Strategies to Get Unstuck

What if a GLP-1 could do more than help you lose weight?  In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with high-performance coach Dan Go to explore how these medications can create a powerful window for deeper physical, emotional, and behavioral change.  Dan shares why he sees lasting transformation as “a spiritual process disguised as a physical one,” and explains how identity, self-talk, emotional awareness, and sustainable habits determine whether weight loss truly lasts.  They also break down Dan’s high-performance GLP-1 approach, including protein intake, resistance training, walking, sleep, supplementation, and the importance of having an exit plan rather than relying on medication alone.  Along the way, they discuss emotional eating, urge surfing, journaling, the power of the pause, and why becoming the person who naturally lives at a healthier weight matters more than chasing a perfect diet.

In this episode, Elizabeth speaks with Dr. Robert Kushner, a pioneer in obesity medicine and author of The Six Factors to Fit, about how to turn weight loss into better health and lasting change.Dr. Kushner explains how GLP-1s reduce hunger, cravings, and food noise, why metabolic adaptation makes weight regain so common, and why lifestyle support still matters even when the medication is doing much of the biological work. He also introduces six common weight-management patterns, from the “easily enticed eater” and “fast pacer” to the “self-critic” and “all-or-nothing doer,” with practical ways to work with each one.This conversation offers a clear, compassionate framework for using GLP-1s more safely, protecting muscle and nutrition, and measuring success far beyond the number on the scale.FREE MASTERCLASS: How To Microdose A GLP-1 Holistically: <a href="https://go.elizabethmcgann.com/masterclass" rel="nofollow">https://go.elizabethmcgann.com/masterclass</a>***SHOW NOTES(00:00) What Turns GLP-1 Weight Loss Into Lasting Change?(04:15) A Biological Breakthrough in Obesity Treatment(08:30) The “Secret Sauce” Was Inside the Body All Along(12:45) Making the Healthy Choice the Easier Choice(17:00) Why Medication and Lifestyle Are Never Either-Or(21:15) The Risks of Taking a GLP-1 Without Proper Support(25:30) Measuring Progress Beyond the Scale(29:45) Why the Body Tries to Regain Lost Weight(34:00) Hunger Is Biology, Not a Character Flaw(38:15) Discovering Your Weight-Management Personality(42:30) Turning Self-Awareness Into a Personalized Strategy(46:45) Changing Food Preferences and Finding Time for Health(51:00) The Pattern GLP-1s May Change Most Dramatically(55:15) Full disclosure: “I am teaching what I need to learn”(59:30) Protecting Muscle and Quieting the Inner Critic(01:03:45) Escaping the All-or-Nothing Trap(01:08:00) What Comes Next in Obesity Medicine ***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:FREE MICRODOSING MASTERCLASS: <a href="https://go.elizabethmcgann.com/masterclass" rel="nofollow">https://go.elizabethmcgann.com/masterclass</a>Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgann" rel="nofollow">http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgann</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellness" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellness</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgann" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgann</a>X/Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann</a> ***Learn more about Dr. Robert Kushner::Website: <a href="https://drrobertkushner.com/" rel="nofollow">https://drrobertkushner.com/</a>Northwestern University Faculty Page: <a href="https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=11686" rel="nofollow">https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=11686</a>X/Twiiter: <a href="https://x.com/DrRobertKushner" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/DrRobertKushner</a>

Why do two women follow the same nutrition plan, take the same GLP-1 medication, and get completely different results?In this episode, Elizabeth introduces one of the most important concepts behind the Holistic GLP-1 Method™: the difference between the Outer Game of weight loss and the Inner Game that quietly determines whether change actually lasts.While nutrition, protein, strength training, hormones, gut health, and GLP-1s all matter, lasting transformation happens when you also change your identity, beliefs, and relationship with yourself.Through the story of one client, Rebecca, Elizabeth shares why healing your inner world often becomes the catalyst for lasting changes in your outer world—and why true freedom isn&#39;t just about losing weight, but becoming the healthiest version of yourself.In This Episode You&#39;ll Learn:<ul><li>Why two women can follow the exact same plan and experience completely different outcomes</li><li>The difference between the Outer Game and the Inner Game</li><li>Why information alone rarely creates transformation</li><li>How your identity shapes your daily habits and decisions</li><li>The role self-talk and beliefs play in long-term weight loss</li><li>Why you can&#39;t heal a body you&#39;re constantly criticizing</li><li>A powerful mindset shift that changes your relationship with food and your body</li><li>How the Holistic GLP-1 Method integrates body, mind, and soul for lasting results</li><li>A real client story illustrating the power of identity work</li><li>Details about Elizabeth&#39;s upcoming free masterclass on holistic GLP-1 microdosing</li></ul> ***(00:00) Welcome to the Holistic GLP-1 Podcast(00:54) Why Two Women Can Get Completely Different Results(01:37) Most Women Are Playing the Wrong Game(02:00) The Outer Game: Nutrition, GLP-1s &amp; Lifestyle(02:50) The Inner Game Runs the Outer Game(03:55) The Roots Create the Fruits(05:10) Why Information Alone Doesn&#39;t Create Transformation(05:35) The Question That Changes Everything(07:03) Rebecca&#39;s Story: Healing the Inner Game First(08:47) Identity, Self-Talk &amp; Learning to Trust Your Body(09:22) Bringing the Inner and Outer Game Together(09:38) Free Masterclass Invitation &amp; Final Thoughts ***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgann" rel="nofollow">http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgann</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellness" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellness</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgann" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgann</a>X/Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann</a>

Why Some Women Thrive on GLP-1s (And Others Don't)

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/7/1/18/02d32d3f-ea35-419e-a61c-7c47ef77a32c_dr_arianna_x2_mixdown.mp3

In this episode, Elizabeth welcomes back Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas — board-certified OB-GYN, author of *The Menopause Myth*, founder of Tula Wellness and Aesthetics, and host of the *Stay Juicy* podcast — for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation about menopause, metabolism, hormone therapy, GLP-1 medications, inflammation, and what it really means for women to thrive after 40. Dr. Arianna brings her signature mix of medical expertise, humor, candor, and whole-person wisdom to a topic so many women are quietly struggling with: why their bodies suddenly feel different, why weight loss becomes harder, why sleep, mood, sex drive, energy, and brain function can all shift in midlife — and why none of this is a personal failure. Together, Elizabeth and Dr. Arianna explore how estrogen, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, gut health, cortisol, inflammation, nutrition, muscle mass, and GLP-1s all intersect. They also discuss why women using hormone therapy may experience better outcomes on GLP-1 medications, why estrogen is not simply a “weight loss tool,” and why menopause can be understood not only as a biological transition, but as a &#34;body, mind, and soul&#34; transformation.

What if lasting weight loss isn&#39;t about fighting harder—but finally making peace with your body?In this deeply personal &#34;mini-sode,&#34; Elizabeth McGann shares one of the most important lessons she&#39;s learned in more than 20 years of helping women heal their health and release weight. Drawing from her own lifelong struggles with weight, her experience navigating perimenopause, and years of working with early GLP-1 users, Elizabeth explores the profound difference between forcing change and creating it through compassion, curiosity, and self-awareness.Why do some women experience freedom while others remain trapped in cycles of restriction and frustration? What happens when we stop treating our bodies as the enemy?If you&#39;ve ever felt broken, defeated, or exhausted by dieting, this conversation offers a new path forward—one rooted in healing, hope, and finally feeling free. ***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann</a>

Millions of women are discovering the benefits of GLP-1 medications, but lasting results require more than simply eating less.In this episode, Elizabeth welcomes registered dietitian Melissa Mitri, who has spent nearly two decades helping clients achieve sustainable weight loss through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Melissa explains why GLP-1 medications work best when paired with healthy habits, proper nourishment, exercise and a long-term mindset.Together, they explore how to naturally stimulate the body&#39;s own GLP-1 production, build a foundation for success before starting the medication, preserve muscle and metabolic health during weight loss, and successfully transition off GLP-1s when the time comes. ***SHOW NOTES[ 00:00 ] Introduction[ 02:17 ] Preparing for a GLP-1 journey[ 04:00 ] What &#34;nutrient-dense&#34; really means[ 06:08 ] Fiber, satiety, and metabolic health[ 07:18 ] Building sustainable habits[ 08:46 ] The hidden risks of skipping meals[ 12:42 ] Meal prep for real life[ 15:25 ] Naturally stimulating your body&#39;s own GLP-1[ 17:26 ] Foods that naturally increase GLP-1[ 19:16 ] Supplements that may help[ 22:43 ] The new GLP-1 pill formulations[ 28:00 ] Personalized medicine and the future of obesity treatment[ 29:24 ] Hunger isn&#39;t the enemy[ 31:10 ] Transitioning off GLP-1 medications[ 40:09 ] The mindset component[ 43:08 ] Managing food noise after GLP-1s[ 45:46 ] Exercise and long-term weight maintenance[ 48:38 ] The future of GLP-1s\[ 50:03 ] Melissa&#39;s work and resources ***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann ***Learn more about Melissa MitriInstagram: @the.weightloss.dietitianWebsite: https://melissamitri.com/

The Sustainable Way to Do GLP-1s (with Melissa Mitri)

In this solo episode, Elizabeth explores what most people are missing about GLP-1s.While these medications are often viewed as tools for appetite suppression and weight loss, Elizabeth shares a deeper perspective: how when approached holistically, GLP-1s can create something far more powerful—freedom. Freedom from food noise, from the mental and emotional weight of the struggle, and from patterns that have consumed space for years.As that noise begins to quiet, something new emerges: space.Elizabeth dives into what becomes possible within that space, reframing transformation as more than weight loss—it’s a shift into an entirely new way of being. She also introduces the concept of primary vs. secondary nourishment and why this moment with GLP-1s may offer a profound opportunity for real, lasting change.Because the goal isn’t just weight loss—it’s a life that finally feels like your own. ***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Mike Israetel—PhD in sports physiology, bodybuilder, and one of the most respected voices in muscle, metabolism and body composition. If you’re using (or considering) a GLP-1, this conversation could completely change how you approach your results.We get into what most people are missing: why GLP-1s alone aren’t enough—and how the real magic happens when you combine them with the right nutrition and strength training. Dr. Mike breaks down how you can lose fat without losing muscle (and even build muscle) with just two short workouts a week, why intermittent fasting can backfire, and what’s actually happening when these medications “stop working.”We also talk about bone health, protein intake, side effects, and the future of next-generation GLP-1s.This is one of those episodes that brings clarity, cuts through the noise, and gives you a smarter, more empowered way to do this right. ***SHOW NOTES[ 00:00 ] Welcome + Why This Episode Matters[ 04:00 ] The Biggest GLP-1 Mistake Almost Everyone Is Making[ 08:00 ] The Muscle Myth: Why Weight Loss Without Strength Training Backfires[ 12:00 ] The 2x20-Minute Workout That Changes Everything[ 16:00 ] Gym Intimidation: How to Start (Even If You’ve Never Lifted)[ 20:00 ] Yoga, Pilates &amp; Walking: Are They Enough?[ 24:00 ] The Truth About Bone Loss on GLP-1s[ 28:00 ] The Ideal GLP-1 Nutrition Strategy (That Most People Miss)[ 32:00 ] Intermittent Fasting on GLP-1s: Helpful or Harmful?[ 36:00 ] Hitting Your Protein Goals (Even If You’re Busy or Plant-Based)[ 40:00 ] GLP-1 “Tolerance”: Are the Drugs Stopping Working?[ 44:00 ] Dosing Strategy: Why “Start Low, Go Slow” Wins[ 48:00 ] Side Effects Explained: What’s Actually Happening in Your Body[ 52:00 ] The “Flat Feeling”: Is GLP-1 Killing Joy?[ 56:00 ] The Future of GLP-1s: What’s Coming Next ***🔥 Key TakeawayGLP-1s aren’t a shortcut—they’re a force multiplier.When combined with smart nutrition and resistance training, they unlock a level of transformation that most people never reach. ***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann ***Learn more about Dr. Mike Israetel New Book The Aesthetic Revolution: https://www.amazon.com/Aesthetic-Revolution-Embracing-Fitness-Healthiest/dp/1538779846 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfQgsKhHjSyRLOp9mnffqVgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmikeisraetel/Website for RP Strength/Renaissance Periodization: https://rpstrength.com/

In this solo &#34;mini-sode,&#34; Elizabeth McGann powerfully challenges one of the most common—and potentially harmful—misconceptions in the GLP-1 conversation: that hunger should disappear entirely. Drawing from her experience as a holistic nutritionist, Elizabeth reframes hunger not as the enemy, but as an essential signal the body needs to function, heal and thrive.She explores how over-reliance on GLP-1 medications can lead to disconnection from the body, loss of muscle, and long-term setbacks—and offers a more sustainable, empowering approach. By combining thoughtful medication use with foundational nutrition, metabolic support, and lifestyle strategies, listeners are invited to discover how to regulate hunger rather than suppress it.If you’re navigating GLP-1s—whether starting, adjusting, or considering a natural approach—this episode offers a mindset shift that could transform your results and your relationship with your body. ***[ 0:00 ] Why We Need to Rethink Hunger on GLP-1 Medications[ 3:10 ] Why Chasing Zero Hunger on GLP-1 is Problematic[ 5:40 ] How to Find the Right GLP-1 Dose for Sustainable Weight Release[ 8:20 ] The Importance of Regulating Hunger Holistically for True Freedom Get Connected with Elizabeth McGannCheck out the new Youtube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/@ElizabethMcGannTubeInstagram: https://www.Instagram.com/ElizabethMcGannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ElizabethMcGannX: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann

What if the real key to successful, sustainable weight loss isn’t starting a GLP-1—but fixing your gut first? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Oscar Coetzee, a leading expert in clinical nutrition and gut health, to unpack the critical (and often overlooked) role the microbiome plays in metabolism, cravings, and natural GLP-1 production. We explore why starting a GLP-1 with poor gut health can backfire, how specific bacteria influence hunger hormones and dopamine, and the emerging science behind “keystone” microbes that may control up to 85% of your metabolic function. If you’re considering a GLP-1, currently on one, or looking for a more natural, root-cause approach to weight loss—this conversation is essential. This episode will change how you think about your gut—and your path to lasting results. ***SHOW NOTES[ 00:00 ] Introduction: A Critical Warning Before Starting GLP-1[ 04:00 ] Is the Gut Actually the First Brain?[ 08:00 ] From Psychology to Microbiome Medicine[ 12:00 ] The Microbes That Control Your Hunger Hormones[ 16:00 ] The Gut as an Ecosystem (The “Earthworm” Analogy)[ 20:00 ] Why Probiotics Alone Aren’t Enough[ 24:00 ] The Real Driver of Cravings and Overeating[ 28:00 ] The Fiber Crisis (and Why It Matters)[ 32:00 ] Signs Your Gut Is Holding You Back[ 36:00 ] Functional Testing: The Missing Diagnostic Tool[ 40:00 ] Why “Killing Bad Bacteria” Can Make Things Worse[ 44:00 ] The Breakthrough: Keystone (Anaerobic) Bacteria[ 48:00 ] Case Study: Reversing Food Sensitivities Naturally[ 52:00 ] How Gut Health Directly Drives GLP-1 Production[ 56:00 ] Why GLP-1 Results Plateau (and How to Fix It)[ 1:00:00 ] The 5 Bacteria That Control 85% of Your Metabolism[ 1:04:00 ] The Hidden Cost of GLP-1 Medications[ 1:08:00 ] Testing Your Metabolic Health Beyond the Scale[ 1:12:00 ] The Simplest (and Most Powerful) Gut-Healing Strategy[ 1:16:00 ] Final Takeaways: Build the Foundation First ***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann ***Learn more about Dr. Oscar CoetzeeDr. Coetzee&#39;s Website: https://naturalhealthcarecenter.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/droscarcoetzee/

In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with leading endocrinologist and 20-year GLP-1 researcher Dr. Zhenqi Liu to unpack the hidden risks of rapid weight loss—including muscle loss, metabolic slowdown, and rebound fat gain—and how to avoid them.

If you&#39;ve been doing everything &#34;right&#34; and your body still feels stuck…This episode is for you.Low energy. Weight that won&#39;t budge. Bloating, joint pain, inflammation. Food noise that feels louder than ever.That was me too.I&#39;m a 52-year-old holistic nutritionist &amp; Life Coach—and I was deeply skeptical of GLP-1s.The side effects? Muscle loss? Ozempic-face? Dependence? Hard pass.But then something kept happening.More than a few of my forward-thinking clients quietly shared the same story. They were microdosing GLP-1s with progressive doctors — and their bodies were responding in ways I couldn&#39;t ignore.That&#39;s when it clicked:My problem wasn&#39;t perimenopause. My problem was a closed mind.So I did what I always do — I learned. I went deep into the research and started this podcast to understand what actually works…and what doesn&#39;t.In this week&#39;s solo episode, I&#39;m sharing the 9 GLP-1 truths I wish I&#39;d known sooner.No hype.

If you&#39;ve been doing everything &#34;right&#34; and your body still feels stuck…This episode is for you. Low energy. Weight that won&#39;t budge. Bloating, joint pain, inflammation. Food noise that feels louder than ever. That was me too. I&#39;m a 52-year-old holistic nutritionist &amp; Life Coach—and I was deeply skeptical of GLP-1s. The side effects? Muscle loss? Ozempic-face? Dependence? Hard pass. But then something kept happening. More than a few of my forward-thinking clients quietly shared the same story. They were microdosing GLP-1s with progressive doctors — and their bodies were responding in ways I couldn&#39;t ignore. That&#39;s when it clicked: My problem wasn&#39;t perimenopause. My problem was a closed mind. So I did what I always do — I learned. I went deep into the research and started this podcast to understand what actually works…and what doesn&#39;t. In this week&#39;s solo episode, I&#39;m sharing the 9 GLP-1 truths I wish I&#39;d known sooner. No hype. No fear. Just a grounded, holistic perspective.   ***   SHOW NOTES   [ 00:00 ] Introduction   [ 01:59 ] Truth #1: Standard Doses Are Often Too High [ 02:32 ] Truth #2: Healing Must Come First [ 03:02 ] Truth #3: A Healthier Metabolism Needs Less Medication   [ 03:32 ] Truth #4: Side Effects Are Signals, Not the Cost of Entry [ 04:06 ] Truth #5: Reduced Inflammation Is the Real Win   [ 04:36 ] Truth #6: Muscle Is Non-Negotiable [ 05:08 ] Truth #7: Slower Weight Loss Is Better Weight Loss [ 05:36 ] Truth #8: Most People Are Using GLP-1s Incorrectly   [ 06:05 ] Truth #9: Freedom Is the Goal   *** 🔗 Mentioned in This Episode: Learn how to activate GLP-1 naturally and silence cravings!

9 GLP-1 Truths I Wish I'd Known Sooner (From a 52-Year-Old Nutritionist)

In this episode of The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast, Elizabeth sits down with McCall McPherson, PA—founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic and Modern Weight Loss—for a conversation that completely reframes what GLP-1 therapies actually do for the body. McCall explains why GLP-1s may be one of the most important medical breakthroughs of our time—not simply because of weight loss, but because of their powerful impact on inflammation, metabolism, hormones, chronic disease and even longevity. Together, they explore how GLP-1s affect thyroid health, insulin and leptin resistance, cardiovascular risk, autoimmune conditions, muscle preservation and more! They also unpack why standard dosing often causes unnecessary side effects, how micro-dosing changes outcomes, and how to use GLP-1s as a true healing tool—not a quick fix. If you want to understand the future of metabolic health, this episode is a must-listen. ***SHOW NOTES[ 00:00 ] Introduction[ 03:00 ] The Big Claim: &#34;GLP-1s Will Change Medicine Forever&#34;[ 06:00 ] Inflammation: The Root Cause GLP-1s Quiet[ 09:00 ] Why Thyroid Patients Are Seeing Breakthrough Results[ 12:00 ] The 10–14% Lower Mortality Statistic[ 15:00 ] The Danger of Standardized Dosing[ 18:00 ] Red Flags That a Dose Is Too High[ 21:00 ] Ozempic Face, Muscle Loss &amp; Hair Loss — What&#39;s Really Going On[ 24:00 ] How to Protect Hair, Skin &amp; Muscle While on GLP-1s[ 27:00 ] Why Overprescribing Happens[ 30:00 ] Can You Come Off GLP-1s Successfully?[ 33:00 ] The Thyroid Story Medicine Keeps Missing[ 36:00 ] The Black Box Warning Explained[ 39:00 ] Do GLP-1s Stop Working Over Time?[ 42:00 ] How to &#34;Reboot&#34; Responsiveness[ 45:00 ] Why Lifestyle Is the Missing Piece[ 48:00 ] The Future of GLP-1s in Medicine[ 51:00 ] McCall&#39;s Personal Journey[ 54:00 ] What&#39;s Next for McCall[ 57:00 ] Closing Thoughts ***🔗 Mentioned in This Episode: Learn how to activate GLP-1 naturally and silence cravings!
