Recent headlines about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have created more confusion than clarity for women seeking sustainable weight loss solutions. As someone who's spent decades helping women transform their bodies, I'm diving deep into what the research actually reveals about these medications – both the surprising benefits and the critical precautions. More importantly, I'm sharing the essential foundation every woman needs before considering any weight loss approach, whether using GLP-1s or not. You'll discover why protecting your muscle mass is non-negotiable after 40, how to measure your progress beyond the scale, and the exact protocol I use with clients to ensure healthy, sustainable fat loss while maintaining metabolism.
