Thinking about stopping your GLP-1 medication? You're not alone sis! Over 70% of people discontinue within two years.

In this episode, integrative clinical nutritionist (your host) Kaileigh breaks down what actually happens in your body when you stop semaglutide or tirzepatide, why weight regain is so common (spoiler: it's biology, not willpower), and the evidence-backed strategies to maintain your progress.

Learn about the strategic tapering approach, metabolic adaptation, protein targets, strength training protocols, and the psychological support that makes all the difference. Whether you hit your goal weight, couldn't afford to continue, or experienced side effects, this is your roadmap for the transition - as always without judgment, with all the science, and zero shame. Includes insights from the 2025 JAMA study of 125,000+ GLP-1 users.

Disclaimer: This is education and empowerment, not medical advice. Always work with your healthcare provider when making medication changes.

What happens when slowing down isn't a choice...it's forced on you at 12 feet?

In this raw and reflective conversation, Kaileigh welcomes back wellness entrepreneur and former attorney Neda Shakoori to share her ongoing journey through injury, identity, and the uncomfortable art of receiving care.

After leaving a demanding 20-year legal career to prioritize her health, Neda thought she'd mastered the art of slowing down. But a climbing accident that broke three bones and required surgery revealed layers of guilt, disappointment, and hyper-independence she didn't know were still running the show.

A note from the host: This conversation reminded me why I do this work. So many of us are running on fumes, filling every moment with productivity, and mistaking burnout for ambition. Neda's story is a mirror - and maybe a warning - that our bodies will find a way to make us listen. The question is: will we wait for the fall, or can we choose the softness now?
