030: Using GLP-1 medication to change habits with Cassidy Handle

February 11, 2025 • Episode 30

Julia chats with Cass Handle, messaging strategist and copywriter, about her transformative health journey. They focus on her choice to utilize medication and the importance of habit change for personal development.

They talk about the challenges of navigating food choices, the power of simplicity in diet, and the emotional aspects of eating. Cass shares her experiences with ADHD, weight loss, the significance of self-compassion in the journey towards better health, and the value of coaching in navigating these challenges.

Other topics Cass and Julia discuss:

Medication can play a crucial role in managing ADHD and weight loss but it doesn't replace personal effort and building healthy habits being crucial for long-term success.
Every day is a new opportunity to start fresh in your health journey! You can take 100 steps forward and 1 step back, you're still 99 steps forward so self-compassion is key in navigating setbacks during weight loss.
Emotional eating can be managed with awareness and healthier coping strategies and it often stems from maladaptive coping mechanisms formed through trauma. Therapy is so helpful in rewiring these behaviors.
Jealousy can be a tool for personal growth, but avoid comparison, recognize that everyone is on their own journey and focus on understanding your body and what feels good for you.
