What happens after the weight loss works?

In this episode I dive into the part of GLP-1 care no one really prepares you for, the long game. The quiet exhaustion that can show up after success. The identity shift that happens when the urgency fades. And the emotional weight of realizing this isn’t a phase, a reset, or a short-term solution.

This conversation isn’t about side effects or starting a GLP-1. It’s about what comes next.

If you’ve been on a GLP-1 long enough for the excitement to wear off and you’re feeling tired even though things are “working”, this episode will help you understand why.

In this episode, we talk about:

• ​What journey fatigue really is (and what it isn’t)
• ​Why exhaustion often shows up after success
• ​The emotional reality of long-term GLP-1 care
• ​Maintenance anxiety and the fear of “messing it up”
• ​Identity shifts after weight loss
• ​Why gratitude and exhaustion can coexist
• ​Letting go of urgency and learning to live inside stability
• ​Why this isn’t a phase it’s care
