Thinking about starting medication? Here's the truth about long-term use.
You’re the boss of your body—no one else gets to decide your long-term plan.

When considering meds, ask yourself: Would I be okay using this long-term if it complements my diet, sleep, and health goals?
If the answer is yes, then it’s worth exploring—sometimes taking a chance is the right move.

Tag someone weighing their options on long-term meds.

Every choice teaches you something about your habits, your hunger, your patterns, and your mindset. That’s not failure. That’s data.

Beating yourself up won’t speed up growth. Reflection will.

Untreated obesity significantly raises your risk of heart attacks, strokes, cancer, arthritis, and even dementia.
Starting early with weight management isn't just about looks — it's about reducing serious health threats BEFORE they happen.

The true risk? Ignoring weight issues and letting health conditions develop over time.

Worth thinking about.

GLP medications like Wegovy and Zepbound have completely changed the landscape of obesity treatment. But with that shift has come a flood of misinformation, fear, and judgment.

In this episode, Dr. Sarah Stombaugh breaks down the 10 most common myths she hears from patients, social media, and even other healthcare professionals—and explains what the science actually says. Whether you’re considering a GLP medication, already taking one, or simply trying to make sense of the headlines, this episode will help you separate fact from fiction, without shame or hype.

This is a compassionate, evidence-based conversation about what GLP medications can do, what they can’t do, and why they’re a legitimate, powerful tool in the treatment of obesity.

The Top 10 GLP Myths — Debunked:
1. Taking a GLP is cheating
2. You’ll stop being hungry and forget to eat
3. The more you take, the more weight you’ll lose
4. Everyone loses weight quickly on GLPs
5. GLPs cause eating disorders
6. GLPs ruin your metabolism or cause muscle loss
7. These medications are dangerous and not meant for long-term use
8. If it worked, you wouldn’t need to stay on it
9. GLPs are only for people who haven’t tried hard enough
10. GLPs fix everything without lifestyle changes

GLP medications are not shortcuts or magic wands—they are evidence-
based medical treatments that help address the biological drivers of obesity. When used thoughtfully, with proper support, they can make sustainable health changes finally feel possible.

Medications can be the game-changer here — they unlock your body’s ability to actually respond to healthy choices.
Sometimes, the biggest shift is just getting the right tools in place.

Worth considering: how much of your struggle is biological vs. willpower?

Ever feel like sugar cravings sabotage your progress, even when you're trying to eat healthier? Here's what’s really going on with insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance isn’t just a buzzword — it messes with your blood sugar in ways you wouldn’t expect.When you eat processed carbs or sugar, your insulin spikes quickly, then crashes, leaving you feeling exhausted and hungry again.That crash can actually make you feel hypoglycemic, which drives those intense sugar cravings — all because your body’s trying to get your blood sugar back up.

Understanding this loop is the first step to breaking it.It's not just about willpower; it’s biology working against you.

Knowing the how and why can help you choose better strategies — next time, you’ll recognize that craving for what it really is.
