GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have made a big splash in the world of weight loss—and for good reason. They work by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar, slows down digestion, and signals fullness to the brain. The result? You feel fuller faster, eat less, and often experience a significant reduction in cravings.

But here’s what many women aren’t being told…

GLP-1s may help the weight come off—but they won’t do the inner healing work for you. And if you’re a woman in peri- or post-menopause, or if you have PCOS,  there’s more to the story than just pounds lost.

Let’s unpack what’s really happening, and why working with a health coach during this journey is one of the best things you can do for long-term success.

 What Are GLP-1s and How Do They Work?

GLP-1 stands for “glucagon-like peptide-1.” It’s a hormone your body naturally makes to help regulate blood sugar after eating. Medications that mimic GLP-1 slow stomach emptying, reduce appetite, and help stabilize insulin levels. This makes them especially helpful for women with insulin resistance, PCOS, or weight gain associated with hormonal changes.

But here’s the key:
These medications are tools, not magic. They don’t teach your body how to maintain that weight loss or support your hormones long term. That’s where your foundations come in.

 Why GLP-1s Alone Aren’t Enough (Especially for Hormonal Health)

As a coach who supports women navigating hormone imbalances, I see it all the time: someone starts a GLP-1, loses weight, but feels tired, moody, or even starts regaining weight when they stop the medication.

Why? Because the foundational pieces—like blood sugar balance, gut health, sleep, and stress management—weren’t addressed.

GLP-1s may quiet your hunger signals, but they don’t:

• Rebuild a sluggish metabolism
• Replenish depleted nutrients
• Support thyroid or adrenal health
• Heal emotional eating patterns
• Improve your relationship with food
• Balance cortisol, estrogen, or progesterone

And if you’re not eating enough or fueling properly, side effects like nausea, constipation, fatigue, or even hair loss can creep in. These are signs your body is asking for more support, not less food.

 Why Coaching Makes All the Difference

A personalized coaching experience provides structure, accountability, and education that GLP-1s alone simply can’t.

When we work together, we focus on building your “Four Foundations”:

1. Blood Sugar Balance – Stabilizing energy, reducing cravings, and protecting hormones.
2. Muscle Maintenance – Preventing muscle loss for a healthy metabolism and strong bones.
3. Gut Health – Supporting digestion and reducing inflammation (so important with these meds).
4. Nutrient Repletion – Making sure you’re nourished even with a smaller appetite.

You don’t just lose weight—you heal from the inside out.
