Everyone Around Me Is On GLP-1. Should I Be Too? - 131
A guy in your gym dropped thirty pounds since spring, and your brother-in-law is on it too. You haven't touched a GLP-1 or called your doctor about one, but you're starting to wonder if you're missing out. Underneath that sits a real worry. If it costs you muscle, does that make it even harder to lose weight later?
(Wondering if you need a GLP-1 to lose the weight, or if there's another way? See what makes this time different at www.thecalltorise.com)
This episode runs seventeen questions back to back, the way they stack up in a man's head over six months. Coach Brian Parana walks through the decision to start. Then he covers what happens once you're taking it. He closes with what happens after you lose the weight, including who benefits most and what happens if you stop.
By the end you'll know what to ask your doctor before you fill a script. You'll also know what these drugs do to your appetite and muscle, and what to have ready before you ever open the box.
