#318: GLP-1 Medications, Strength Training & Muscle Loss: What You Need to Know w/ Dr. Christle Guevarra

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Christle Guevarra—physician, strength athlete, and co-author of Bodybuilding Anatomy—to unpack the truth about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide & tirzepatide, how they impact muscle mass and metabolism, and what coaches and clients over 40 need to know. We talk about bone density, strength training differences between men and women, how to coach someone on GLP-1s responsibly, and why mindset—not just macros—makes or breaks long-term success. This one’s full of real talk, practical advice, and a lot of laughs.
