What Every GLP-1 User Needs to Know (with Dr. Robert Kushner)
GLP-1 medications have changed what is possible in obesity treatment, but the medication is only part of the story. 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.***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:Coaching Website: http://www.ElizabethMcGann.com 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. Robert Kushner::Website: https://drrobertkushner.com/Northwestern University Faculty Page: https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=11686X/Twiiter: https://x.com/DrRobertKushner

Why Some Women Thrive on GLP-1s (And Others Don't)
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't just about losing weight, but becoming the healthiest version of yourself.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why two women can follow the exact same plan and experience completely different outcomesThe difference between the Outer Game and the Inner GameWhy information alone rarely creates transformationHow your identity shapes your daily habits and decisionsThe role self-talk and beliefs play in long-term weight lossWhy you can't heal a body you're constantly criticizingA powerful mindset shift that changes your relationship with food and your bodyHow the Holistic GLP-1 Method integrates body, mind, and soul for lasting resultsA real client story illustrating the power of identity workDetails about Elizabeth's upcoming free masterclass on holistic GLP-1 microdosing*** Welcome to the Holistic GLP-1 Podcast Why Two Women Can Get Completely Different Results Most Women Are Playing the Wrong Game The Outer Game: Nutrition, GLP-1s & Lifestyle The Inner Game Runs the Outer Game The Roots Create the Fruits Why Information Alone Doesn't Create Transformation The Question That Changes Everything Rebecca's Story: Healing the Inner Game First Identity, Self-Talk & Learning to Trust Your Body You Can't Heal Something You're Constantly Attacking Bringing the Inner and Outer Game Together Free Masterclass Invitation & Final Thoughts***Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:Coaching Website: http://www.ElizabethMcGann.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann

How Hormone Therapy Can Improve GLP-1 Results (with Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas)
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 "body, mind, and soul" transformation.SHOW NOTES[ 00:00 ] GLP-1s, estrogen, and the anti-inflammatory lifestyle[ 00:53 ] Key question for women over: “Why is it so hard to lose this weight?”[ 03:05 ] Why so many women in perimenopause and menopause feel like their bodies have changed overnight[ 05:00 ] Estrogen, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, and abdominal fat[ 07:00 ] Why estrogen alone does not simply make midlife weight gain disappear[ 08:22 ] The hormone “orchestra”: estrogen, cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid, and gut health[ 10:00 ] Why midlife weight gain is due to biology, not personal failure[ 10:30 ] Thyroid health, Hashimoto’s, and why “normal labs” may not tell the whole story[ 12:17 ] T4 to T3 conversion, gut health, vitamin D, and thyroid optimization[ 16:37 ] Why deeper thyroid testing matters, especially for women[ 17:21 ] Hashimoto’s, gluten, gut health, and autoimmune thyroid issues[ 18:35 ] Why being “stuck” with weight loss can involve more than food or GLP-1s[ 19:29 ] How hormone therapy and GLP-1 medications may work together[ 21:56 ] Declining estrogen and insulin resistance[ 24:40 ] How GLP-1s and estrogen may support metabolic health through different but complementary pathways[ 25:27 ] Why women do not take estrogen simply to lose weight[ 26:00 ] Hot flashes, bone health, and the clinical indications for hormone therapy[ 27:21 ] Estrogen, skin, brain health, heart health, and the importance of understanding the evidence[ 30:29 ] Transdermal estrogen, oral estrogen, and why delivery method matters[ 32:35 ] Vaginal estrogen, vaginal tissue health, urinary tract health, and sexual wellness[ 35:21 ] Topical estrogen cream for the face and skin aging[ 36:36 ] How Dr. Arianna talks with patients about hormone therapy and GLP-1s together[ 38:24 ] Why women should know their A1C and metabolic numbers[ 39:00 ] Dr. Arianna’s personal experience with GLP-1s[ 41:39 ] GLP-1s, autoimmune conditions, joint pain, and inflammation[ 42:57 ] The inflammatory lifestyle versus the anti-inflammatory lifestyle[ 43:51 ] Do people need to stay on GLP-1s forever?[ 45:35 ] Elizabeth’s experience coming off a microdose GLP-1 and relying on her lifestyle toolkit[ 47:39 ] Why long-term GLP-1 use may make sense for some people based on family history, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk[ 49:24 ] Why weight regain is often about returning to old habits, not “failure” of the medication[ 50:49 ] Muscle loss, strength training, body composition, and doing GLP-1s the right way[ 52:35 ] Menopause as a "body, mind, and soul" transformation[ 53:34 ] The “estrogen veil,” authenticity, people-pleasing, and the “I do not care” era[ 56:43 ] Menopause, self-care, spirituality, and stepping into a new chapter[ 58:20 ] Dr. Arianna shares more about Tula Wellness and Aesthetics, *Stay Juicy*, and her work in women’s health[ 59:52 ] Compounded estrogen facial cream, hyaluronic acid, retinol, and slowing visible aging[ 01:01:05 ] Travel, pleasure, and what Dr. Arianna is most excited about next[ 01:02:18 ] Closing thoughts

GLP-1s and Surrendering the War Against Your Body
What if lasting weight loss isn't about fighting harder—but finally making peace with your body?In this deeply personal "mini-sode," Elizabeth McGann shares one of the most important lessons she's learned in more than 20 years of helping women heal their health and release weight.

What happens when we stop treating our bodies as the enemy?If you'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:Coaching Website: http://www.ElizabethMcGann.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann

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

GLP-1s and the Freedom Nobody's Talking About
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:Coaching Website: http://www.ElizabethMcGann.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellnessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgannX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann

Why You Don’t Want to Lose Your Hunger on GLP-1
In this solo "mini-sode," 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 FreedomGet 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
