Beyond the Scale: Katie’s Strength Training Journey While Using GLP-1s

What really happens when you combine medication with muscle? In this powerful episode, I sit down with my friend Katie, who has lost nearly 50 pounds over the past two and a half years -but her journey is about so much more than the number on the scale.

Katie opens up about life before GLP-1s, the frustration that led her to consider them, and how strength training became the non-negotiable piece of her transformation. From building confidence with her lifting, to improving her energy, sleep, and mood, Katie shares what clicked to help her get on the path to her healthiest self.

We talk about:

• Why lifting weights mattered just as much- if not more- than the medication
• How she overcame setbacks and kept showing up even when progress slowed
• The stigma surrounding GLP-1s, and why women deserve honest conversations
• The advice she wishes she could give herself at the start of her journey

Whether you’re considering medication, already on it, or simply curious about how strength training transforms not just your body but your entire life, Katie’s story will inspire you to keep showing up and keep getting stronger.
