Taking a weight loss drug is NOT “cheating” 👀🚫

Written By Nicole Hagen

and you shouldn’t feel any shame for using science, or the advancement of medicine, to improve your health and quality of life. Here’s why ⤵️

Obesity is not a willpower issue.

Biology plays a role! Some bodies are naturally hungrier and have a harder time reaching fullness (influencing how much a person consumes), and when prescribed under the right circumstances, GLP-1 medications can help to correct imbalances and make weight loss more achievable for those who struggle.

GLP-1 medications do not replace healthy habits. 🙂‍↔️

They simply help to level the playing field for people whose biology makes weight loss harder. Creating and sustaining healthy eating habits is still required ✅ in order to create, and maintain, positive health outcomes. In fact, when taking a GLP-1, some healthy habits (like protein intake and strength training) become even more important.

Choosing to use GLP-1s (assuming you meet the criteria and have considered the risks), or weight loss support of any kind (therapist, Nutrition Coach, etc.) to support your health and quality of life is NOT you should be ashamed of.

I didn’t always have this business: the Masters degree in Nutrition Science and Public Health, the passion, the clients... in fact, years ago you could have found me endlessly counting calories and trying to find my worth on the scale and at spin class, exhausted in my pursuit of (what I thought was) health and happiness.

In my early twenties, I struggled with crash dieting and disordered eating. Little did I know, those circumstances would be my one-way ticket out of my restrictive relationship with food & fitness. Those experiences led me here: to the life-giving, sustainable, habit-based nutrition philosophy I embody today. Today you can find me living life without a calorie counting app and spending time with my husband, one year old son, and our two crazy golden retriever pups.

I enjoy spending my free time reading, sipping on matcha lattes, and dreaming of ways I can help other women create healthy, confident relationships with food without selling their souls to food rules and calorie counting apps.

Because nothing lights me up more than helping women live full and vibrant lives without food fear, rules, or restriction. I want to be that permission granter in your life that whispers: “you really can do this” while the rest of the world continues to settle for short-term satisfaction.
