For decades, the message has been simple: if you want to lose weight, you need to exercise more. But what happens when a medication can do the heavy lifting for you? GLP-1 drugs are reshaping everything we thought we knew about weight loss, and that means the role of exercise is changing, too. Not disappearing. Changing.

Join Holly and Jim as they sit down with Dr. Renee Rogers, senior scientist at the University of Kansas Medical Center and expert in biobehavioral lifestyle interventions, to explore this new frontier. If you've ever struggled to stick with exercise, felt guilty for not doing enough, or wondered whether movement even matters now that medications like Ozempic and Wegovy exist, this conversation was made for you.

The answer isn't what you'd expect. Exercise isn't less important in the age of GLP-1s. It's more important just for entirely different reasons.

Discussed on the episode:

• The one word that could completely transform your relationship with exercise
• Why losing muscle during weight loss isn't always the crisis people think it is (but also why you shouldn't ignore it)
• The surprising link between fatigue on GLP-1 medications and physical activity levels
• Why cardio vs. strength training is the wrong question to ask (and what to ask instead)
• The exercise myth Dr. Rogers would delete from the internet forever
• How the timing of your GLP-1 dose might affect when you should work out
• What to focus on after you've hit your goal weight
