Are you worried GLP-1 medications will make coaches obsolete? Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are changing the weight loss conversation, but they're not replacing the work coaches do. In fact, they're making behavior change coaching more essential than ever.

In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down what GLP-1s actually do, why 50-75% of users stop taking them within a year, and how coaches can support clients using these medications while staying ethically grounded and professionally valuable.

You'll learn:

• What GLP-1 medications actually do (and what they don't teach clients about behavior change, mindset, or long-term habits)
• Why people still need coaches even when medication accelerates weight loss
• How to navigate the ethical dilemma of posting client transformations when GLP-1 use is involved
• Six ways coaches can support clients on GLP-1s, from muscle preservation to managing identity shifts and shame
• Why the future of coaching requires more psychology, communication skills, and mindset work (not less)
