Before You Take the Shot
Before you take that shot today, we are going to talk about something that you really need to know.
I need you to pause just for a minute with me because your body already has a system designed by God to regulate your hunger and your metabolism and your weight, and if you override it without restoring it, there are consequences that no one is really explaining.
So before you make that decision, I want you to understand what your body was actually created to do, and that is what we're going to talk about today.
You’re Not Wrong for Wanting Something That Works
If your body has been feeling stuck, if you've been feeling stuck inside your body, you've been feeling tired, inflamed, you feel like you've been doing everything right and nothing is really working, I understand.
It can feel so hopeful to hear about new things coming on the market that seem to work so well.
It feels like hope.
I want you to know that considering these things, it doesn't make you lazy.
It doesn't mean that you're failing and you are not wrong for wanting something that works.
But here's what I need you to understand.
God did not design your body to need a weekly injection to regulate your hunger.
What GLP-1 Actually Is
You've heard all these commercials and probably some of your friends talking about GLP-1, so let's break that down.
GLP-1 simply means glucagon-like peptide.
It is a peptide that is naturally present in your body.
If insulin is the hormone that helps move sugar out of your bloodstream into your cells, glucagon is the hormone that brings your blood sugar back up when it drops too low.
Glucagon is your body's built-in safety system to keep your blood sugar from dropping too low.
It tells the liver to release stored sugar.
GLP-1 helps regulate glucagon, keeping it from raising your blood sugar when it doesn't need to.
It is a naturally inborn system that God put in your body to help regulate.
It is released when you eat.
When you eat a meal, nutrients enter your stomach and signal your body to release GLP-1.
With time, it signals fullness.
It tells your brain that you've had enough.
It helps insulin respond appropriately.
It slows digestion as needed.
It is responsive.
It is intelligent.
It is not random.
It is not continuous.
It comes out when it is needed.
Your body uses GLP-1 as a signal, not as a control mechanism.
What Happens When You Override It
GLP-1 is not missing from your body.
Your body is not GLP-1 deficient.
Taking more of it does not fix a problem.
When you take the shot, it does not support the system.
It replaces it.
You are giving your body constant stimulation that is no longer connected to eating.
It creates appetite suppression whether you need it or not.
It slows digestion chronically.
Instead of your body leading, the medication takes over.
It overrides your body’s signals.
The Real Consequences
This can lead to undereating.
Women report not having an appetite at all.
Some have to remind themselves to eat.
God made us to eat regularly to get the nutrition that we need.
You cannot fool a car into thinking it doesn’t need gas.
You cannot fool your body into thinking it doesn’t need food.
There are downstream consequences.
Studies are showing that a meaningful portion of weight loss is coming from lean mass.
That means muscle.
You may weigh less, but you are functioning worse.
Muscle burns calories.
Muscle makes you strong.
Rapid weight loss and undernourishment can also impact bone health.
When your body is not getting nutrients, it starts pulling from other places.
That includes muscle and bone.
This can lead to fractures and osteoporosis.
Digestive problems are not rare.
Many women report that eating starts to feel like a chore.
Not because they are trying to restrict, but because their body feels off.
In one follow-up study, when people stopped the medication, much of the weight came back within a year.
That tells us something important.
These shots are replacing a system that was designed to work naturally.
When the medication stops, the system is no longer functioning properly.
One woman shared that when she stopped, her hunger came back stronger than expected and she didn’t understand her body anymore.
Her body wasn’t broken.
The system was never restored.
It was managed.
When you override a system instead of restoring it, you are borrowing results.
You are not building them.
What’s Actually Going On
Women are not turning to this because they are doing something wrong.
They are turning to it because something deeper is not being addressed.
Common root issues include:
- Blood sugar instability
- Chronic stress
- Postpartum depletion
- Undernourishment
- Inflammation
Your body is not broken.
It is responding exactly the way a stressed, undernourished body responds.
The body is trying to tell us what is going on.
Instead of listening, many are turning to quick fixes that create more problems.
Our lifestyle is not in line with how God designed us to live.
We are overburdened.
We are undernourished.
We are overstressed.
And the results are showing.
Instead of restoring the body, we are overriding it.
What Your Body Actually Needs
You do not need something that forces your body into weight loss.
You need something that brings your body back into balance.
You need to:
- Stabilize your blood sugar
- Nourish your body properly
- Build muscle in a way that supports your body
- Support your nervous system
When the body feels safe and supported, it regulates weight the way it was designed to.
You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone
If you're listening to this and realizing this is you, I want you to know you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
This is exactly why I offer foundation calls.
We look at your body, your symptoms, your history, and what has been missed.
We identify what is really driving what you're experiencing.
This is not a generic plan.
This is where we begin mapping out what your body actually needs so that you can heal.
God made your body to heal.
