#20 - GLP1s: Miracle, Crutch, or Bridge?
“Should I try Ozempic or just fix my diet?”
What if it’s not either/or… but how you use it? 🧠💉🥗
Here’s our take from today’s episode:
GLP-1s = tool, not destination.
1) What GLP-1s actually do
✔️ Tame appetite
✔️ Slow gastric emptying
✔️ Improve insulin signaling
…but they don’t build skills (meal structure, strength training, routines).
2) Miracle, Crutch, or Bridge?
✨ Miracle: fast results, fades without habits
🪑 Crutch: stuck if you never learn
🌉 Bridge: best when paired with coaching + lifestyle
3) Ready to taper? Look for 3 markers
📊 Metabolic stability (time-in-range trending ↑)
🏋️ Lifestyle habits (protein each meal, lifting 2–3x/wk, walking, sleep)
🧰 Confidence & consistency (you can handle weekends/travel)
4) The takeaway
GLP-1s can buy time. Coaching builds the foundation so meds become optional.
That’s exactly what we do inside Type 2 Transformation—stronger muscles, smarter nutrition, steadier habits.
