glp support podcast

Hello friends!

I have a brand new live podcast episode and Betsy is back for round two!!

If you haven’t heard of Betsyshe’s the creator behind Boujee Betsy, a community for women in their 40s who are finally choosing themselves, and she’s as real as it gets. She is also one of my best friends in the entire world!! Today we pick up where we left off, diving into my personal experience with peptides, the mental side of weight loss maintenance, body image, and more.

Here’s what we’re talking about:

• Betsy’s backstory, how she lost 70 pounds using GLP-1, and what life looks like now in maintenance mode
• The mental and emotional journey of reclaiming your identity after significant weight loss
• Why Maintaining Your Goal Weight Is Harder Than Losing It (And Why No One’s Talking About It)
• Body image after weight loss and why some days you still feel like your old body
• Why Betsy never counted calories or followed a strict diet and how she still maintains her results
• The « ingredient household » approach to feeding a family and keeping it realistic
• What’s next for Betsy as she retires from 20 years in education to focus on family and content creation

And much more!!

205: GLP-1s, Weight Loss Maintenance and Recovery with Betsy of Boujee Betsy

Betsy’s honesty about the parts of the wellness journey that no one glosses over is so refreshing and I just know you’re going to love her.

Betsy is not your typical wellness guest.

She’s 45, unapologetically high maintenance, and the creator behind @Boujee.Betsy — a community for women in their 40s who are finally choosing themselves. After losing 70 pounds using GLP-1, she’ll be the first to tell you that the drug isn’t the hard part. The hard part was everything he revealed.

Betsy talks openly about maintaining weight loss when no one congratulates you for it anymore, the fear that never quite goes away, and the mental work of rebuilding your identity from the inside out. She’s been in fight-or-flight mode most of her life—and she’s finally, consciously, living differently.

Her superpower? Saying out loud what everyone else is afraid to admit. Her mission? To show women that pouring yourself in isn’t selfish. This is survival.

Follow her journey at @Boujee.Betsy on Instagram.

If any of my healthcare professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go heal others, which I think is a beautiful quest. You can absolutely join if you are not currently working in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs do not start down this path. They are friends who want to learn more about health and wellness and want to share that information with those they love. You can do this as a passion or start a whole new career.
