#86 - Should You Work Out When Sick? Plus: Flabby Arms on Zepbound

Should you work out when you’re sick? We cover when to rest versus push through, whether your macros and steps should change while you recover, and how to tone flabby arms after losing weight on Zepbound or another GLP-1.

We cover: A simple rule of thumb for deciding whether to train or rest when you’re unwell Why, when you’re sick, your only goal is to get better, and weight loss can wait What to do about food tracking, macros, and steps while you’re sick How to ease back in afterwards without playing catch-up Why your consistency over the last 52 weeks matters far more than any single week Your question: “I’ve been on Zepbound for a few months and lost 20 pounds, but my arms look flabby. How do I tone up?” We explain why lifting weights and eating enough protein matter, and why GLP-1s change how you do the work but not whether you have to do it What food noise actually is, and what it isn’t Why getting your GLP-1 without talking to a doctor is a bad idea

We aren’t medical professionals, so run anything you hear here by your doctor.
