Summary

The constant swirl of opinions, research, and personal stories around GLP-1 medications has created a perfect storm of confusion for anyone considering this path. Between the people who swear by it, those who condemn it as "cheating," and doctors recommending it left and right, the noise can be overwhelming.

Tune in this week as I share my own journey with GLP-1 this year, from the 20-pound weight loss and stabilized glucose levels to the surprising reasons I ultimately chose to stop. You'll learn how to make clean decisions about controversial health choices, manage others' opinions without letting them derail you, and most importantly, how to separate morality from medicine when it comes to your own body.

0:00.0	unless you've been hiding out in a cave, you've probably heard about or are using or know people who are using GLP1 medications.
0:08.0	This is an injection in most cases that people are taking that is allowing the body to release the hormone GLP1,
0:17.1	which is something we naturally produce, but it produces it artificially, which can help in reducing
0:22.5	blood sugar and minimizing ultimately the amount of food that we need to feel functional and to
0:29.7	sustain ourselves, which can be very healing and healthy for many people for many reasons. But along
0:35.8	with all the benefits, it is bringing with it a lot of controversy,
0:39.5	a lot of thoughts, a lot of confusion, a lot of opinions. And I've been coaching on this a lot
0:46.6	lately. I've coached many people who are considering taking it, but have a lot of drama and
0:53.1	noise about whether or not they should.
0:54.8	I've coached people who are very against it, who got healthy the quote unquote hard way,
1:00.6	and now have a lot of resentment. And I've coached on a lot of things in between that that
1:05.3	that I'm going to address today. So whether your drama is around GLP1 or anything else, you're going to be able to apply this to a lot of other
1:13.0	areas in your life when it comes to difficult decisions and making peace with others not having the same
1:20.4	opinion and really cleaning up your own story about whatever choices you make and having a lot of
1:27.1	openness and compassion and
1:28.5	understanding that other people get to decide what's right for them. Along with that, I want to be
1:33.6	very transparent in sharing my own experience with GLP1 this year. I'm going to tell you why I went
1:39.6	on and off GLP1. This is episode 522 of Better Than Happy. Let's go.
1:47.6	Welcome to Better Than Happy, the podcast where we transform our lives by transforming ourselves.
1:54.9	My name is Jody Moore. In the decade plus, I've been working with clients as a master
2:00.3	certified coach. I've helped
