In this episode of The Gut Whisperer, we take you inside the real-life transformation of Jason—a 38-year-old father who turned his life around with the help of GLP-1 medications, daily biking, and mindful eating.

After years of yo-yo dieting, joint pain, and looming prediabetes, Jason found hope in semaglutide—a medication that curbs appetite, slows digestion, and helps restore balance to the body’s hunger signals. But it wasn’t just the injection that changed his life. It was his decision to commit to small, sustainable changes—including 30 minutes a day on his stationary bike and eating with intention.

🎧 In this episode, Dr. Nelson Spinetti breaks down:

• What GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide actually do in the body

• Who they’re for—and who should be cautious

• The most common side effects (including what “Ozempic face” really means)

• Why pairing these medications with movement and mindful eating is key to long-term success

• What to expect when stopping the medication—and how to keep the weight off

Whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey, supporting a loved one, or prescribing these therapies in practice—this episode offers real insight, clinical clarity, and genuine hope.
