Today we are talking about a topic that is everywhere right now—GLP-1 medications for weight loss. You’ve probably heard about them from friends, your doctor, social media, or the news. And for many women, these medications are becoming one possible tool in their health journey.

But here’s the key question I wanted to explore today:

What happens when you combine GLP-1 medications with the foundational habits that actually support long-term health and fat loss?

Because one thing I always teach here in Fat Loss School is that no tool replaces the fundamentals—things like prioritizing protein, eating mostly whole foods, strength training, managing stress, and creating sustainable habits.

So instead of just talking about GLP-1s, I thought it would be much more helpful to talk with women who are actually navigating this in real life.

Today I’m joined by two of my FASTer Way clients, Liese Tavaglione and Robyn Neft, who are both using GLP-1 medications as one tool in their journey while also following the FASTer Way strategies like a protein-first approach to eating and consistent strength training.

They’re generously sharing their honest experiences—what led them to consider this option, what they’ve learned along the way, and how focusing on foundational habits has helped them do this in a healthy and sustainable way.

If you’ve been curious about GLP-1s, considering them yourself, or simply wondering how they fit into a bigger health picture, this conversation will give you a balanced, real-life perspective.
