Send us a textLosing weight after 40 can backfire if it's done the wrong way—and in this episode of the Strong By Design Podcast, we uncover why that matters more than ever. Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Dr. Ron Eccles to explore the growing role of peptides and GLP-based therapies in sustainable weight and fat loss. Dr. Eccles breaks down peptides in simple terms, explaining how gut hormones like GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP influence hunger, metabolism, and body composition. Together, they discuss why weight loss alone doesn't equal better health—and how preserving muscle, protecting joints, and improving metabolic health must be part of the equation.The conversation also tackles America's declining health outcomes, the concept of the “bliss point” in eating behavior, and what truly happens after you reach your target weight. Dr. Eccles shares insights on emerging peptide technologies, common myths around GLPs, and why lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and nutrition determine long-term success. You'll also hear real-world lessons from clinical practice, including differences between men and women and the key health metrics that actually matter. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about modern weight-loss solutions and how to approach them safely, intelligently, and with long-term health in mind. Time Stamps00:00 – Lose weight the wrong way: Hidden dangers for anyone over 4000:56 — Welcome to the Strong by Design podcast!02:20 – Join Coach Chris and special guest Dr. Ron Eccles03:11 – Dr. Ron's 4 pillars of life balance—and why health is a top priority05:06 – Peptides explained: What they are and how they work06:56 – Discover the peptide that started it all10:38 – GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP: the gut peptides that silence hunger12:53 – Why losing weight isn't the same as building a better body14:48 - Discussion of the abysmal health outcomes in America16:59 – The concept of the “Bliss Point” explained19:06 – What comes next? 3 options after hitting your target21:02 – Next-level peptides: control appetite, burn fat, and save muscle26:50 – The future of peptides: No injections required29:12 – Debunking myths about GLPs33:30 – How chronic joint pain affected Dr. Eccles's wife36:33 – Weight loss differences between men and women37:56 – The 5 key metrics Dr. Eccles tracks with his clients39:18 – The science behind Alpha Shred revealed43:35 – Lifestyle factors that make peptides work47:02 – Why sleep is essential for brain health53:31 – Key advice before your peptide journey55:39 – Why some “unconventional” doctors get it right1:00:26 - Stay connected beyond the episode with Ron Eccles1:03:23 - Fun fact about the Strong by Design Podcast name1:05:23 - Please share and leave ratings & reviews for the SBD podcast! Resources:15-minute Consultation at 941-799-6583Connect with Dr Ron: InstagramStart the New Year with more Focus, Clarity & Mental Energy!Grab some Neuro-Thrive at a Discount - Use Code: SBD2026
