This week I get to delve into a topic that can really mean the difference between good and great when it comes to GLP1-s and weight loss; coaching and community! We have been fed a steady stream of diet culture-y, “one-size-fits-all” hacks throughout the years that have tricked us into thinking that there’s something wrong with us because we don’t see the same results as others when we follow the same routines. But the truth is, each person’s physiology is so diverse, that it’s completely unrealistic to approach weight loss in this way. Coaching is a tool that can really open your eyes to new possibilities and revolutionary tools within the realm of metabolic health. There is a whole world of resources and a huge community of supporters just waiting for you, that you can have access to; you just have to reach out and find your people. Listen in to hear about why I believe coaching and community is an integral part of your metabolic journey, and the three things that I see change almost immediately when my clients begin coaching. QuotesGrowth takes energy. It takes a certain environment. When someone's asking you that open ended question, it really helps you to see what the possibilities are. - Dr. RenteaThis is what I tend to see; when patients or coaching clients want to keep making progress, they will ultimately run into a problem that takes them being really creative and flexible with how they're going to solve it.- Dr. Rentea There are always obstacles in life.
