Coaching Support for Women on GLP-1’s
Your GLP-1 coaching program — physician-led support for women in midlife.
Private coaching for women in midlife who are on a GLP-1 or coming off one. We focus on the habits that keep the weight off and protect your muscle, so you can live the life you worked for.
Your doctor handles the medicine. I help you do the rest.
Your doctor can prescribe the medication and tell you what to do. Eat more protein. Lift weights. Manage your stress. That advice is correct, and it is rarely enough.
A fifteen-minute visit a few times a year cannot turn good advice into something you actually do on a Tuesday at 6 p.m. when the day has fallen apart. Most clinicians were never trained to do that part, and they do not have the time. So the advice gets handed over, and the doing is left to you.
That doing is its own skill, and it is what a coach is an expert in. Behavior change is the work, not a footnote to it. Knowing what to do has never been the hard part. Doing it, week after week, when life pushes back, is the hard part.
I am trained in the methods that make change stick, and that is where I spend my time with you.
How the coaching works
My coaching uses motivational interviewing, the same evidence-based method behind my group program, Holding the Line. It runs on one idea:
Motivation = awareness + importance + confidence and hope.
Most programs jump straight to the how. Eat this, track that, move more. We do the opposite. We start with what you actually want and why it matters to you, because motivation built on someone else’s reasons does not survive a hard week. The work follows one sequence. What, then why, then how.
I do not hand you a rigid meal plan and a lecture. Change that is handed to you does not last.
We start with where you honestly are and what you want the next stretch of life to look like.
I ask open-ended questions and listen. You do most of the talking. My job is to help you hear your own reasons for change, because those are the ones that stick.
We build the three things change needs, in order. Willing, able, and ready. Most programs assume you are all three on day one. You usually are not, and that is fine.
We pick small, doable next steps that you choose, and we adjust them as real life happens.
When you hit a setback, we treat it as data, not failure. A bad week tells us something. We use it and keep going.
You leave with a plan that is yours, so it survives a busy week, a vacation, and a hard month. You leave with skills, not a dependence on me.
What changes when you have a coach in your corner
Where many women start
- Down a lot of weight, but quietly afraid that the day she stops the medication is the day it all comes back.
- Eating very little, losing muscle along with the fat, feeling weaker than the scale would suggest.
- Tired, and unsure which midlife change is the medication, which is hormones, and which is sleep or stress.
- Holding good advice from her doctor that she cannot seem to turn into daily action, and blaming herself for it.
Where coaching takes her
- Her own durable reasons to keep going, strong enough to hold onto when the food noise and the appetite come back.
- Enough protein and enough strength work to protect her muscle, so she is strong and healthy, not just smaller.
- A coping plan for stress and emotional eating, the most common triggers for regain, that she will actually use.
- Habits that stick on a normal Tuesday, not just on a perfect week. The kind that stay after the coaching ends.
- A clear, written, one-page plan for maintaining her gains, and a get-back-on-track plan for when she slips.
What’s included in 1:1 coaching
- Regular one-on-one virtual sessions by video. Everything is remote, so you can do it from home.
- A coaching approach built on motivational interviewing, tailored to a woman maintaining her weight after a GLP-1.
- A focus on the levers that hold the gains. Protein and nutrition, strength training, sleep, and stress and coping skills.
- Plain-language teaching on what happens in the body when a GLP-1 leaves your system, so the self-blame comes out of it.
- A personal, written maintenance plan and a setback plan you keep and use long after the coaching ends.
