1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 One of the biggest fears women have when starting GLP-1 medications isn’t losing the weight —it’s what happens after. Do I have to stay on this forever? Will I regain the weight if I stop? Is there a right way to transition into maintenance? In this powerful, science-grounded episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Holly Wyatt—endocrinologist, obesity medicine physician, and author of Losing the Weight Loss Meds—to explore what actually helps people keep weight off long-term, with or without medication. This conversation bridges medical science with real-world behavior change, mindset, identity, and lifestyle—and fits seamlessly into the Holistic GLP-1 Method.
