Ever wondered what's really happening behind the scenes with GLP-1 medications? After surveying 35 users of Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic, I'm pulling back the curtain on what people are experiencing - and what they're not telling you openly.

The results were eye-opening but perhaps unsurprising. Most users were women in their 40s and 50s grappling with perimenopausal weight gain or health concerns that traditional methods hadn't helped. While weight loss was the primary goal, the deeper story revealed profound concerns about maintaining results long-term. A striking third of respondents reported no significant side effects, challenging the common horror stories we are told in the press. But perhaps most telling was the almost universal lack of comprehensive support users received, leaving them to navigate this complex journey largely alone.

What became abundantly clear to most is that GLP-1 medications aren't magic pills - they're tools that work best when paired with mindset shifts, behavioural changes, and a healthier relationship with food. The advice from current users was refreshingly pragmatic and aligned with my view: start slow, prioritise protein, incorporate movement, and most importantly, manage your expectations. These medications don't work the same for everyone, and sustainable success requires looking beyond the number on the scale.

This survey has inspired me to create resources specifically for conscious GLP-1 users who want to break free from diet culture mentality.

What happens when we stop viewing weight management as simply a matter of willpower and start seeing it as an opportunity for profound identity transformation? In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on what my journey with GLP-1 medications has to do with business, and the conversations they've sparked about shame, health, and authentic leadership.

After years of studying nutritional therapy and mind-body eating psychology, I know sustainable change isn't about quick fixes - it's about becoming someone new. The medications themselves don't do all the heavy lifting; they simply create a window of opportunity where we can establish new habits, process emotions differently, and fundamentally shift how we see ourselves.

This episode explores the full-circle moment I'm experiencing as I prepare to launch new resources for those using GLP-1 medications who want to approach their journey with intention, health, and sustainability. Drawing on my experience creating the Food Freedom Academy years ago, I'm developing a comprehensive program that addresses not just the physical aspects of weight management, but the emotional, mental, and identity elements that create lasting change.

The Modern Leader Way has always been about finding your unique path forward - one that honours your whole self rather than conforming to external expectations. Whether in your career, business, relationships or your health journey, true leadership begins with self-knowledge and the courage to follow what lights you up, even when it doesn't match conventional definitions of success.

Ready to approach your health journey with confidence and clarity? Join the waitlist for my upcoming "No Bullshit GLP-1 User's Guide" here: https://www.emmaclaytonxo.com/f/mj-support-waitlist

Together, let's remove the shame and create sustainable transformation that stays with you long after the medication ends.

I share my Mounjaro (GLP-1) journey, now 32 pounds down, focusing on how I'm using this medication as a tool to implement sustainable healthy habits rather than just losing weight quickly.
I share how I am
• 32 pounds down with noticeable body composition changes despite recent scale plateau
• Implementing strength training with a personal trainer to preserve and build muscle during fat loss
• Working with a functional nutritionist to address inflammation and gut health
• Using continuous glucose monitoring to optimise energy levels and sleep quality
• Focusing on protein intake (aiming for 150g daily) to support muscle building
• Creating an identity shift that will sustain results after medication
• Planning a support program for others wanting a mindful approach to GLP-1 medications
