glp-1 and beyondThere is a lot of noise around GLP-1 medications right now. A lot of opinions, a lot of headlines, and a lot of people who have never taken a single dose and would like to tell you exactly what you are doing to your body.
This is not that.
This is a page for people who are actually living it, figuring it out, and looking for support from someone who has been there too. Not in a "I read a study about it" way. In a "my insurance said no for months, I decided to pay out of pocket anyway, and before I lost a single pound the inflammation I had been quietly carrying for years was simply gone" kind of way.
I have been where you are. That is not a marketing line. That is just true.
What you might be navigating
You started a GLP-1 and now everything is different. Or not different enough. Or different in ways nobody warned you about.
Maybe you are:
adjusting to changes in appetite that feel strange after a lifetime of thinking about food constantly
trying to figure out how to eat enough protein when nothing sounds appealing
navigating side effects and wondering if this is normal or if you should call someone
building habits alongside the medication so that this time something actually sticks
dealing with opinions from people in your life who have a lot of feelings about your choices
feeling excited and uncertain at the same time, which is a completely reasonable way to feel
Or maybe you have been on a GLP-1 for a while and you are realizing that the medication is a tool, not a plan. And you need help building the plan.
That is exactly what coaching is for.
What this support looks like
I am not your prescriber. I do not replace your medical team. What I do is work alongside them, in the space between appointments, in the actual texture of your daily life, where the real changes either take hold or fall apart.
We work on the things your doctor does not have time to cover in a fifteen-minute appointment:
building eating patterns that actually work when your appetite has changed
navigating all-or-nothing thinking, which GLP-1s do not fix but coaching can help with
creating movement habits that feel sustainable, not punishing
adjusting to body changes in a way that sticks around long after the medication does
staying grounded when things feel uncertain or slower than you expected
figuring out what healthy actually looks like for your real life, not someone else's
No judgment about how you got here. No opinions about your choices. No supplement stack to sell you.
Just practical, grounded support from someone who gets it because she has lived it.
When You're Coming Off a GLP-1
Sometimes GLP-1s end. Insurance decides it's done. The cost stops making sense. Your doctor says you're ready to try without it. Life happens and the prescription doesn't get refilled and suddenly you're on your own and wondering what comes next.
Whatever the reason, it's not a failure. It's just a new chapter that needs a different kind of support.
This is actually where coaching gets really interesting. Because the habits, the mindset shifts, the relationship with food and your body that you've been building, those don't have an expiration date. They just need some tending. And maybe a little company while you figure out what this next part looks like.
If you're coming off a GLP-1 and feeling some feelings about it, good feelings, complicated feelings, or the particular kind of feelings that come from watching your grocery bill and your appetite change at the same time, you're in the right place.
We'll work on the things that stick around after the medication doesn't. The routines, the responses to stress, the way you talk to yourself on a hard day. The goal isn't to white-knuckle your way through. It's to build something solid enough that you don't have to.
You did hard work to get here. Let's make sure it comes with you.
Also: Bariatric Support
If you have had bariatric surgery, or you are considering it, you are also in the right place.
I had a duodenal switch in 2011. Which, for the uninitiated, is the bariatric procedure with the most dramatic name and the most significant changes to how your body processes food. The first year went well. I never got to a normal BMI. The backpacking trips I had been saving for "when I finally lose the weight" stayed stubbornly in the future.
I say all of this not to discourage anyone, but because I know what it actually feels like on the other side of surgery. The hope, the adjustment, the unexpected realities, and the strange experience of having done something major and still feeling like something is missing.
Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool. So is coaching. They work better together than either does alone.
If you are navigating life after bariatric surgery, whether you are one month out or ten years out, there is support here that understands what you have been through.
What we might work on:
building sustainable habits after surgery
navigating the emotional side of major body change
figuring out what to do when the results are not what you expected
creating a relationship with food and movement that actually fits your new normal
working through the gap between where you are and where you hoped to be
No shame. No "you should have done more." Just honest, practical support from someone who has been through it and kept going anyway.
READY TO TALK?
Whether you are on a GLP-1, post-bariatric, considering either, or somewhere in the middle of all of it, you do not have to figure this out alone.
Book a free discovery call and we will talk about where you are and what support actually makes sense for you. No pressure, no pitch, no homework before you show up.
Just a conversation with someone who gets it.
