WEIGHT LOSS IS CHANGING… BUT MAYBE OUR IDEA OF “HEALTHY” NEEDS TO CHANGE TOO.
Everyone seems to be talking about GLP-1s at the minute and if you don’t know someone taking one, chances are you know someone who does.
I’ve had more and more clients asking me questions about them and have found myself lacking in knowledge to answer their questions so I’ve researched a bit and I am now intrigued. Not only do I think this is extremely beneficial for weight loss for certain people but there are also lots of positives about a drug that I had in my mind completely demonised despite not knowing anything about it.
I think these are really important conversations to be having.
Think back to the 80s and 90s. A lot of the fitness and celebrity culture back then was built around one thing, being skinny. As a young female growing up, celebrity females were skinny, very skinny. The thinner you were, the better. Cigarette in one hand and a black coffee in the other 🤯
Fast forward to today and are we running the risk of going back to that??
I’m currently undertaking a specialist GLP-1 course so I can better understand these medications, the challenges people may face while using them and what happens when you stop, and most importantly, how I can support people with the exercise, lifestyle and nutrition side of their whole journey.
My intention isn’t to judge anyone for their choices.
It’s not to tell people whether they should or shouldn’t use medication and it’s certainly not to provide medical advice.It’s to learn. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing what I learn.
The goal shouldn’t simply be:
“How little can I weigh?”
Maybe the better question is:
“How strong, fit and healthy can I become?”
Ultimately, I’d love to use what I learn to help people not just lose weight, but build a better lifestyle for the long term.
