In this inspiring episode, Dr. John Barnes travels (virtually!) all the way to Fairbanks, Alaska to meet Rachell Powell, a remarkable woman who redefined what’s possible when science, structure, and support come together.

Rachell shares her powerful transformation story — from her athletic and military past to reaching a point where she knew she needed to lose “a lot” of weight. Her journey led her to Ideal Health Fairbanks and coach Dylan Webb, where she discovered the Ideal Protein protocol. But here’s the twist: Rachell achieved her incredible results by combining Ideal Protein Phase 1 with GLP-1 medication under medical supervision.

Together, Dr. Barnes and Rachell explore how the Ideal Protein protocol perfectly complements GLP-1 therapies — preserving lean muscle, supporting metabolism, minimizing side effects, and providing complete nutritional and emotional support through one-on-one coaching.

Rachell’s story doesn’t stop with her success on the scale. Inspired by her results and renewed energy, she became an Ideal Protein Coach herself — helping others achieve their own “Life Possible.”

Whether you’re currently using GLP-1 medication or simply curious about integrating it with a scientifically proven nutrition plan, this episode offers hope, education, and real-world insight into what’s possible when you combine medical innovation with metabolic science.

Key Takeaways:

• Why Ideal Protein is the perfect companion to GLP-1 medications
• How high-quality protein preserves muscle during rapid weight loss
• The importance of weekly accountability and personalized coaching
• Rachell’s best tips, favorite foods, and words of encouragement for anyone ready to start

Emergency Room physician Dr. Amy Gutman has seen it all—and she’s not afraid to tell the truth about what’s killing her patients. Known as “Tough Love MD,” Amy blends compassion with blunt honesty, challenging the culture of quick fixes, patient satisfaction scores, and a medical system that too often keeps people “comfortable” instead of healthy.

Drawing from her own journey with obesity, chronic illness, and a learning disability, Amy offers an empowering message of hope: the solution is simple—but not easy—and it starts with good nutrition, daily movement, and the belief that you’re better than your circumstances.

In this eye-opening conversation, Amy shares what it’s like to work on the front lines where 85% of patients have chronic, preventable diseases, yet few are ready to make the lifestyle changes that could truly save their lives. From the shift in medicine from survival rates to Yelp-style reviews, to the dangers of the “kind lie,” Amy pulls back the curtain on a system that rewards keeping patients happy rather than well.

If you’ve ever wondered why your doctor might not tell you the whole truth, or how tough love can actually be the most compassionate care of all, this episode will change the way you see medicine—and yourself. Keep your eyes open for Amy's new book arriving soon - Powerhouse Living: Lead Your Life Like a Resuscitation!
