Why is it that nearly every woman hitting a GLP-1 weight-loss plateau thinks she needs more medication? And what if the real solution is actually… more metabolic health? I hear this all the time when I'm coaching clients inside our Finally F**king Free program. And the truth is—your body isn't failing you. It's signaling it needs deeper support. That's why I brought on today's guest, Dr. Dean Jones. He's a holistic obesity specialist who understands metabolic repair because he's lived this journey himself. And what I love is how aligned his philosophy is with what we teach here—using GLP-1s as a tool, not a crutch. Today we're diving into what actually causes plateaus, how to get unstuck without starving or losing muscle, and why lower doses combined with a holistic approach create the most sustainable transformation.
