About the medication

GLP-1s and coaching

Do you prescribe GLP-1 medication?

No. We're coaches, not prescribers. Your healthcare provider manages your medication. We help with nutrition, strength training and habits around it.

Will you tell me to change or stop my medication?

Never. Decisions about starting, adjusting or stopping a GLP-1 belong with your prescriber. If you have questions about your dose, we'll encourage you to bring them to your provider.

I haven't started a GLP-1 yet. Is coaching still for me?

Yes. Starting with nutrition and strength habits already in place is a great way to begin.

What if I'm coming off my medication?

Coaching can help here too. The habits we build are meant to work whether you stay on the medication, taper or stop.

Nutrition

Eating on a GLP-1

Will you give me a set calorie or protein number?

Needs are individual, so we don't hand out one-size-fits-all targets. We build habits around you, your appetite and your provider's guidance.

I'm barely hungry. How am I supposed to eat enough?

This is one of the most common challenges we help with. It usually starts with making each smaller meal count: building around protein first and adding fiber and fluids where you can.

Do I have to follow a strict meal plan?

No. We focus on flexible habits that fit your life, including restaurants, weekends and holidays, rather than rigid plans or food rules.

What about side effects like nausea?

Food choices, portion sizes, meal timing and hydration can make a difference in how you feel day to day, and we'll work on those with you. If you have persistent vomiting, signs of dehydration, severe stomach pain or can't eat enough, contact your healthcare provider.

Training

Strength and exercise

Why does strength training matter so much?

When you lose weight, some of it can come from muscle, not just fat. Strength training, together with good nutrition, helps protect the muscle that keeps you strong and independent.

Do I need a gym membership?

No. We can build your plan for home with minimal equipment, or around a gym if you have one.

I've never lifted weights. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Plans start where you are, with movements you can do safely, and progress from there. If you have a health condition, check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.

How it works

The coaching itself

Is coaching online or in person?

Coaching is online, so you can work with us from anywhere. You work 1-on-1 with a real coach who checks in every week and is there when questions come up. Your plan and checklist live in an app, but the coaching comes from a person.

How long do I need to do coaching?

As long as it's helping. Some people want support through the early months on medication; others stay on longer as their goals change.

How much does it cost?

We'll walk you through options during your free strategy session, once we know what kind of support would actually help you.

Can you promise I'll lose a certain amount of weight?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We focus on building habits that help you feel stronger, eat better and keep your progress going.

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Tell us where you are and what's been hardest. We'll tell you how coaching could help, with no pressure.
