Episode Synopsis

 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.  So let's get into it!  ***  SHOW NOTES  [ 00:00 ] Introduction  [ 02:05 ]  Meet Dr. Dean Jones  [ 04:35 ]  Emotional Eating, Food Noise & GLP-1s  [ 06:40 ] Fasting Before GLP-1s  [ 09:40 ]  Discovering Intermittent & Extended Fasting  [ 10:40 ]  Using GLP-1s for Maintenance (Not Dependence)  [ 11:00 ]  The FLOA Method: "Fasting Like Our Ancestors"  [ 12:20 ]  Muscle Loss, GLP-1s & Fasting Myths  [ 14:10 ]  Weekly Therapeutic Fasting Explained  [ 16:30 ]  Why GLP-1s "Stop Working"  [ 17:05 ]  Are Most People Using GLP-1s Wrong?  [ 19:05 ]  Metabolic Health > More Medication  [ 20:35 ]  What You Can Do Today  [ 22:10 ]  The Metabolic Reset Phase  [ 22:40 ]  How Many Calories Are "Right" on GLP-1s?  [ 26:15 ]  Relearning Hunger Without Fear  [ 28:30 ]  The Mindset Behind Sustainable Weight Loss  [ 31:20 ]  Complementary Peptides & GLP-1s  [ 35:30 ] Why Lower GLP-1 Doses Are a Strategic Advantage  [ 39:40 ]  Coaching, Accountability & Long-Term Success  [ 42:10 ]  What Dr. Jones Is Most Excited About Next  [ 44:15 ]  Final Reflections & Closing  ***  🔗 Mentioned in This Episode:  Learn how to activate GLP-1 naturally and silence cravings!  CLICK HERE TO GET ⇒ Free Masterclass: Freedom From Food Noise: https://go.elizabethmcgann.com/start  ***  Get Connected with Elizabeth McGann:  Coaching Website: http://www.ElizabethMcGann.com  Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/elizabethmcgann  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethMcGannWellness  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethmcgann  X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElizabethMcGann  ***  Learn more about Dr. Dean Jones:  Website: https://coloradomedicalsolutions.com/about-us/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrJonesDC
