Podcast 49: GLP-1, Diabetes, What To Do After Losing the Weight

Coach Chris sits down with co-host Paul, plus special guest Jaime, for an unfiltered episode that starts on GLP-1 medications and ends up everywhere else. Jaime spent almost two years on a GLP-1, went from 350 pounds down to a lean 265, and gives the real, unscripted account of what the drug actually does to your hunger, your strength, and your muscle mass once you start training seriously. Chris breaks down why proper strength training is the real fix for insulin resistance, why he pulls clients off these medications as fast as possible, and why nobody can name a muscular type 2 diabetic. Then the conversation goes full nerd. Marvel casting choices, why actors used to guarantee a good movie and don't anymore, the Masters of the Universe reboot, MCU phase fatigue, One Piece, anime, and a deep dive into Hollywood conspiracy theories that gets weirder by the minute.
