Today we're diving into a topic that's been coming up a lot during InBody scans, check-ins, and side conversations at the gym: weight loss, Ozempic, and body composition. Before we get into it, I just want to say that this is a neutral space. I'm not here to tell you what to do with your body or your healthcare decisions. I'm not a doctor. I'm speaking from what I see daily through InBody scans, member feedback, and my experience as a coach who deeply cares. Also.. for full transparency.. I'm not on Ozempic but I fully respect that everyone has the right to choose what works best for them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-transformation-station--4156450/support.

We've all been told that self-care means setting boundaries, saying no, and protecting our energy—but what if that's only half the story? In this episode, we explore the fine line between genuine self-care and using it as an excuse to hide from experiences that could actually make us feel better in the long run. Sometimes, saying yes—to movement, connection, fun, or a challenge—is the best form of self-care. Tune in as we unpack when no is truly serving us and when stepping outside our comfort zone is exactly what we need.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-transformation-station--4156450/support.
