Few things feel as discouraging as working so hard on your health and not seeing the results you expect. You're eating well, staying consistent with exercise, keeping up with hydration—yet the scale hasn't budged in weeks.In this episode, Board-Certified Family and Obesity Medicine Physician Dr. Lindsay Ogle (who you may remember as a guest from a previous episode) turns the tables and interviews me about the truth behind weight loss plateaus. We break down what they actually are, why they happen, and how mindset plays a critical role in pushing through.We'll cover the biological reasons your body sometimes needs to pause before moving forward, the powerful shift from thinking “stalled” to recognizing you're maintaining (which is progress in itself), and a practical, data-driven approach for breaking through without burning out. Plus, we bust some common myths (like the old “just eat less and work out more” — *yawn*) that can actually backfire.ReferencesEp 111.

NM Max Farberov is a 27-year-old chess instructor, Chessable author, and online speed-chess specialist with a Chess.com blitz rating north of 2600. He joined me after a busy chess summer that included his first European open and one of his best OTB results to date: winning clear first in the Under-2300 section of the Washington International. As Max explains, this breakthrough came only after months of frustration and feeling that he had reached a plateau, making the success all the sweeter. In our conversation, Max and I discussed: Why he stays motivated to pursue tournament chess at an age when many slow down How he built an opening repertoire around the offbeat 1…d6 What he gains from following lesser-known professional tournaments Why speed chess is underrated as a tool for improvement Max's passion for chess is infectious, and our conversation is full of helpful chess improvement advice.

This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common intermittent fasting challenges with practical, science-backed solutions. Dr. Scott and Tommy address Nick's testosterone concerns on low-carb diets, explaining how early-day carb timing with circadian rhythm optimization can maintain hormone levels while supporting fasting goals. Learn why combining morning carbohydrates with evening protein creates the ideal metabolic environment for both performance and fat burning. Discover solutions for Carrie's post-workout hunger struggles, including why strength training increases ghrelin and depletes glycogen stores, making fasted training more challenging but ultimately more effective with proper timing and hydration strategies. The hosts dive deep into plateau-busting tactics for OMAD practitioners, explaining why Jean Marie's 3-pound fluctuations are normal and how to break through stalls by varying meal timing, prioritizing non-scale victories, and understanding that metabolic changes occur beneath the surface even when the scale doesn't move. Address common snacking temptations during extended fasts, with Gary's nut-snacking dilemma at the 24-hour mark - learn why this happens during the glycogen-to-ketosis transition and practical replacement strategies. Get insights on keeping "trigger foods" out of the house, using the "who are these for?" technique, and creating habit replacements instead of habit voids.

Years ago I was working on what would turn out to be my longest-ever project, Swingline, the first 13d I'd ever tried. I had spent parts of several seasons on it, my fitness was at an all-time high, and I had done all of the obvious links. But I couldn't break through. The only thing left to do was send, but it just wasn't happening. I wasn't being honest. I was telling myself a story – like we all do – and that story is often false.  So I finally asked myself the question...   Read the rest on the blog!

Your child says, “I want to quit.” Soccer. Piano. Swimming. Art. Should you let them? There’s a magic confidence threshold in every skill - and most kids give up just before they reach it. In this episode, Dr Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack why kids quit, the role of motivation and relationships, and how to help them push through frustration without forcing them into misery. You’ll learn how to balance empathy with encouragement so your child develops grit, resilience, and the joy of mastery. KEY POINTS Every skill has a “confidence threshold” — the point where hard work starts to feel rewarding. Kids often want to quit in the “valley” before reaching this threshold. Motivation matters: autonomy and relationships increase persistence. Plateaus in progress are normal and often occur right before breakthroughs. Distress tolerance is a life skill - avoiding discomfort robs kids of resilience-building experiences. Angela Duckworth’s “Don’t quit on a hard day” rule helps kids make decisions in a calm emotional state. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “When we rescue kids from every struggle, we rob them of the chance to discover they’re more resilient than they think.” – Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED Angela Duckworth’s research on grit The Dunedin Study Dr Justin Coulson’s “Anti-Fragile” resilience keynotes ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Check the motivation – Was this activity your child’s choice or yours? Aim for the threshold – Encourage them to reach basic competence before deciding to quit. Build social connections – Support involvement where friendships are part of the activity. Talk about plateaus – Normalise slow progress and help them see it’s temporary. Adopt the “hard day” rule – No quitting right after a loss or tough session. Sit with discomfort – Model staying calm and present when challenges arise. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright open the Fat Science mailbag to answer listener questions from around the globe. This episode covers real-world metabolic challenges—from navigating calorie restriction and GLP-1 medications to the complexities of bariatric surgery, prednisone's impact on weight, and menopause. Dr. Cooper offers clear explanations and practical advice for healthcare professionals and patients alike on understanding metabolic dysfunction, interpreting lab results, and setting realistic weight loss expectations.Key Takeaways:Calorie restriction and intermittent fasting can destabilize metabolism, making recovery complex for some patients—gradual changes and medical monitoring are essential.Bariatric surgery can be an effective intervention for those with significant insulin resistance or high hunger signals. Pre-surgery metabolic testing (like insulin, glucose, and ghrelin levels) is valuable in assessing the likely benefit.Plateaus after surgery, persistent weight struggles, and the role of genetics highlight the need for root-cause investigation, not just symptom management.Prednisone and hormone therapies (including MHT for menopause) can affect metabolic health; small dietary adjustments, body composition testing, and tailored exercise are crucial for optimizing outcomes.Guidance on GLP-1 medication maintenance: Most patients benefit from staying on weight loss meds long-term, but dose adjustment is possible when side effects arise. Stability over many months is critical before considering any taper.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares her experience with bariatric surgery and ongoing metabolic management, emphasizing realistic expectations and the benefit of medication-surgery synergy.Listeners ask: how to evaluate readiness to stop weight loss meds, address side effects, and balance hormone needs during menopause.Resources from the episode:Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to share the real science behind why we get fat, addressing stigma and confusion with facts, hope, and empowering stories.Updates on Dr. Cooper's upcoming virtual metabolic health training—ideal for practitioners in the UK and beyond.Information about Melanocortin pathway testing programs for severe, persistent obesity.https://uncoveringrareobesity.com/Link to previous show. “GLP-1s: Will I Have to Take Them Forever?” (5/19/25)https://open.spotify.com/episode/1GZA71gTMSz0idbnEYblVO?si=gJXxNkbYTHykhNDw0Ebltg Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris talk all about why tracking data matters when it comes to your health journey. From calories, steps, and workouts, to weight, inches, and photos – it's all useful information that helps you make better choices. A lot of times, we feel like we're doing everything right, but we're not seeing results. That's where data comes in. It helps us see what's really going on and take some of the emotion out of it.

While cleaning light fixtures in my home, I discovered layers of built-up dirt that had dimmed what were actually crystal-clear glass fixtures. For years, I had accepted the clouded appearance as normal, never questioning if something better lay beneath. This simple household revelation sparked a powerful metaphor for how we often settle into life after loss.   I understand firsthand how we can unknowingly plateau in our grief journey. We reach a point where we're functioning and surviving, but not truly thriving.    If you feel like you're in a grief plateau - that space after the sharp edge of loss has dulled, but life still feels flat and uninspired - this episode is for you.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/316

Welcome to The Peptide Podcast. Today we're going to talk about something that almost everyone on a GLP-1 journey hits eventually, the weight loss plateau. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If you enjoyed the show and want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  It starts like this: you begin a GLP-1 like semaglutide or tirzepatide, and for the first few weeks or months, the weight seems to fall off. You're eating less, not obsessing over food, and for the first time in a long time, it feels… easy. Then one day, the scale just stops moving. You're not doing anything different. You're still taking the meds. Still trying to eat well. Maybe you're walking more or lifting weights. But suddenly, nothing's happening—and the frustration kicks in. Sound familiar? Let's talk about what's really going on. 1. What Causes the Plateau? First of all, if you're in this place right now: you didn't mess up. GLP-1s are incredibly effective at reducing appetite and creating an initial calorie deficit, which is why people lose weight so quickly in the beginning. But your body isn't just going to let that continue unchecked. It adapts. This is called adaptive thermogenesis—a fancy way of saying your body becomes more efficient. You start burning fewer calories at rest than you did before. Your resting metabolic rate actually drops beyond what you'd expect just from losing weight alone. It's a survival mechanism. So what worked at the beginning—eating less and moving a bit more—might no longer be enough to keep the scale moving. This is totally normal.  2. Metabolism & Muscle: Why Strength Training Matters Now More Than Ever So now that we know why the plateau happens, let's talk about things we can do to help us get over it. Something that often gets overlooked but is absolutely critical—especially if you're on a GLP-1 or in any kind of calorie deficit. Resistance training is not optional. It's non-negotiable. Here's why. When you're losing weight—whether it's from a medication like semaglutide or just eating in a calorie deficit—your body isn't just pulling energy from fat. If you're not careful, it's also going to break down lean muscle tissue. And the more muscle you lose, the slower your metabolism gets. Why? Because muscle is metabolically active tissue. It burns calories even when you're doing absolutely nothing. So if you're not actively sending a signal to your body to keep that muscle, it'll start to let it go. That's where resistance training comes in. When you lift weights or do bodyweight exercises—think squats, push-ups, resistance bands, even heavy housework—you're telling your body: “Hey, I need this muscle. Don't burn it for fuel.” This is especially important for those on GLP-1s because these meds reduce appetite so significantly that you might not be eating enough protein—or enough calories in general—to maintain muscle without that extra stimulus. So if you've hit a plateau or want to prevent one, ask yourself: Am I strength training at least two to three times a week? Am I prioritizing movements that challenge large muscle groups—like legs, glutes, chest, and back? Am I fueling my workouts with enough protein? And let me be really clear, you don't have to become a gym rat. You don't have to lift crazy heavy weights. But you do have to move your muscles in a meaningful, consistent way. Protecting your lean mass is one of the best ways to keep your metabolism humming—not just during your weight loss journey, but after it too. Because this isn't about just losing weight—it's about building a strong, metabolically healthy body that can maintain that weight loss for life. 3. Mindset Check: The Plateau Is Not a Failure Now, let's get into the mental side of this journey—because it's just as important as nutrition, movement, and medication. One of the biggest challenges people face—especially when progress slows—is the mental roller coaster that comes with watching the scale. And I'll be honest: weighing yourself every single day is not ideal. Here's why. Your body weight naturally fluctuates. Daily. And those fluctuations have nothing to do with your actual fat loss or long-term progress. Instead, the number on the scale is influenced by things like: Hydration status – If you're slightly dehydrated, the scale may dip. But if you drank a ton of water the day before or had more salty food, it may go up due to water retention. Glycogen stores – When you eat carbs, your body stores them in your muscles and liver as glycogen, and for every gram of glycogen, your body stores about 3–4 grams of water. So a pasta dinner or even a healthy grain bowl can cause a temporary increase on the scale. Digestive contents – Let's be real: if you haven't had a bowel movement (constipation) or just ate a bigger meal, the scale might reflect that. Doesn't mean you gained fat. Inflammation or illness – If you're recovering from an illness, injury, or even a hard workout, your body retains extra water as part of the healing process. Again—temporary. But here's what happens when we don't understand this, we step on the scale, see a higher number, and panic. We question everything—“Am I doing something wrong? Is the medication not working? Should I eat less?” And that mindset spiral can lead to unnecessary stress, restriction, or even giving up. So what should you do instead? Focus on trends over time, not daily weigh-ins. Weigh yourself once a week at most, ideally at the same time of day, under the same conditions (like first thing in the morning before food or water). Or better yet—track non-scale victories: clothes fitting better, improved energy, reduced cravings, less inflammation, better digestion, even clearer skin. These are all signs your body is healing and progressing. Remember, your worth is not defined by a number, and fat loss is not always linear. There are ups, downs, pauses, and breakthroughs—and all of them are part of the process. 4. Habits: Recheck Your Routine Now, here's where we get really honest. Because as the months go by, it's normal for habits to loosen up. Maybe you're not tracking portions quite as closely. Maybe your steps have dropped. Maybe “just a bite” here and there has crept in more often than you realize. This doesn't make you bad or lazy—it makes you human. But if progress has stalled, it's worth revisiting the basics: Are you eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods? Are you staying hydrated and watching added sugars? Are you eating out frequently without paying attention to portions? Are you still moving your body every day? Small shifts can make a big difference. 5. Food Noise: Why It's Sneaking Back One of the most exciting things about GLP-1s is how much they reduce food noise—that constant mental chatter about snacks, cravings, and what's in the fridge. But for many people, that quiet doesn't last forever. Over time, especially as your body adapts to the medication or your dose levels off, food noise can return. You might find yourself thinking about food more often or wanting things you weren't craving before. This doesn't mean the med has stopped working. It means your biology is adjusting. What helps: Keeping meals protein-forward and fiber-rich Eating at regular times to avoid dips in energy or blood sugar Identifying emotional vs. physical hunger Managing stress and sleep, which both drive cravings This is the time to build real strategies—so you're not relying on the med alone. 6. Emotional Eating This brings me to my next point. Let's talk about something that often flies under the radar but can make a huge difference in your weight loss journey—emotional eating. This is when feelings like stress, boredom, anxiety, or sadness trigger you to eat, even if you're not physically hungry. It's totally normal, and many people experience this at some point. Now, GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide do a great job at reducing physical hunger by influencing hormones that control appetite. But they don't always fully address the emotional side of eating. So, even if your stomach feels satisfied, those emotional triggers can still push you toward cravings or eating for comfort. Recognizing emotional eating is the first step. Try to notice when you're eating because of feelings rather than hunger. Strategies like mindful eating, journaling your emotions, or finding alternative outlets—like walking, meditation, or chatting with a friend—can really help. If emotional eating is a big hurdle, working with a therapist or counselor who specializes in behavioral health can provide tools to manage those feelings without turning to food. Remember, managing emotional eating alongside your GLP-1 treatment can make a huge difference in overcoming plateaus and reaching your goals more sustainably. 7. Set Realistic Expectations: Fat Loss Isn't Linear Lastly, I want to talk about setting realistic expectations. I can't stress the following enough. You are not supposed to lose weight every single week forever. Your body needs breaks. Your metabolism needs to reset. And your mind needs time to adapt to this new version of you. Think of your fat loss journey like a staircase—not a slide. There are flat spots before the next drop. And guess what? Some of the most important changes—like maintaining your weight, building strength, or stabilizing your habits—happen during those flat spots. You don't need to push harder or go more extreme. You just need to keep showing up consistently. My Final Thoughts: Trust the Process The bottom line is trust the process. If you're on a GLP-1 and the scale has stalled, take a deep breath. This is a normal part of the process. It's not the end—it's just a signal to pivot and refocus. We want to build muscle. Prioritize protein. Revisit your habits. Stay active. And most importantly, don't give up. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If you enjoyed the show and want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright answer listener questions from around the world about metabolic health. This mailbag episode explores widely-debated topics like “starvation mode,” weight loss plateaus, the relationship between metabolism and cognitive health, cannabis and metabolism, metabolic effects of liposuction, and the latest on GLP-1 medications.Key Takeaways:Dr. Cooper dispels myths around “starvation mode,” citing research on the long-term metabolic impact of dieting and caloric restriction.Weight loss plateaus are often misunderstood—Dr. Cooper explains the natural adaptations behind them and how to assess true progress.Metabolic health plays a major role in brain function, cognitive decline, depression, and dementia prevention.Cannabis affects metabolic pathways in complex ways, with regular use potentially causing negative metabolic effects.Liposuction can trigger metabolic rebound and rapid fat regain for some patients, especially when leptin levels are low.Updates on GLP-1 meds: Liraglutide is available in generic form, but costs fluctuate. New oral and combination therapies are on the horizon.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea and Mark reflect on their own journeys with dieting, weight plateaus, and medication.Dr. Cooper shares clinical experiences with metabolic rebound after liposuction and ways to navigate pharmacologic treatments.Correction: Lilly has a lower cash pay for Medicare and Medicaid, but Novo Nordisk is not yet.References related to diet-induced metabolic adaptation, also called biological adaptation and defense of body weight. 1.

This week, Mark is joined by Charles Schwartz and co-host Catherine Divine for a deep dive into the art of self-transformation, leadership, and adapting to rapid change in the age of AI.   Charles shares his remarkable personal evolution—shaped by years working in hospice care—and how confronting mortality shattered his illusions of ego and brute-force ambition. The conversation uncovers how our deepest limiting beliefs and survival strategies—often rooted in childhood trauma—can either hold us back or be integrated as sources of wisdom and growth.   Mark, Charles, and Catherine delve into the power of recognizing and moving between different internal “Personas,” the importance of connecting with one's personal truth, and why self-acceptance is key to sustainable transformation. As the discussion turns to the accelerating influence of AI, the trio candidly addresses the urgent need for adaptability, curiosity, and ethical leadership in an era where technology is poised to disrupt every industry.    Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling stuck, a leader navigating the unknown, or someone seeking more meaning and freedom, this episode will leave you inspired to face challenges with awareness and courage—and to reimagine what's possible in a rapidly changing world.   Key Takeaways:  The Power of Mindset Shift: Dive into Charles Schwartz's journey from a survival-driven ego to a life led by service, love, and efficiency. Purpose, Truth & Breaking the ‘Why' Myth: Is finding your “why” overrated? Charles argues that fulfillment actually starts with ‘who' you are, not just ‘why' you do what you do. Once you connect to your true self, your purpose and path become much clearer—and more rewarding. Embracing the AI Revolution: AI isn't just a buzzword, it's a tidal wave. Charles and Mark discuss why there will soon be two types of companies: those that leverage AI, and those left behind.   Charles Schwartz is an award-winning entrepreneur, strategist, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, best known as the host of The I Am Charles Schwartz Show.

SUMMARY In this conversation, Andrew Adams and Sifu Stephen Watson explore the themes of breaks in martial arts training, the importance of maintaining engagement, and the human connections that underpin martial arts practice. They discuss the reasons students may take breaks, the challenges of returning, and the significance of staying connected through various means. The conversation emphasizes the need for understanding and support within the martial arts community, particularly during times of personal challenges or plateaus in training. They explore the challenges faced by martial artists, particularly the phenomenon of plateauing at the brown belt level. They discuss how this can lead to students seeking new directions in their training. Lastly, they also delve into the intriguing connection between martial arts and music, examining how music can enhance learning and memory in martial arts education. They reflect on the importance of creativity in teaching and the role of music in evoking emotions and fostering connections among students. TAKEAWAYS Taking breaks can be essential for recovery and personal growth. Engagement can be maintained through alternative methods during breaks. Understanding student perspectives is crucial for retention. Communication and connection are key in martial arts teaching. Plateaus in training can lead to disengagement. It's important to own the choices made regarding training. Digital communication can help maintain relationships with students. Encouraging small commitments can ease the return to training. Many students plateau just before black belt and stop training. Music can enhance the learning experience in martial arts classes. There is a notable correlation between musicians and martial artists. Teaching martial arts through music can create deeper connections with students. Music evokes emotions that can transcend language barriers. Learning through music can aid in memory retention.

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle common fasting questions from their listeners. They address the frustration of weight loss plateaus, explaining why blood sugar improvements are more important markers of progress than scale movement, especially during periods of high ketosis when healing happens beneath the surface. The hosts explore the powerful neurological benefits of fasting, including improved mental clarity, focus, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor production that supports cognitive function. They provide practical guidance on electrolyte supplementation during fasting, clarify coffee additions (and when a little cream might be acceptable), and explain why shifting eating windows earlier in the day is particularly beneficial, especially for those in menopause who face additional hormonal challenges. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize consistency over perfection and provide actionable strategies for adapting fasting to individual needs and circumstances.

In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore how your body's internal clock dramatically impacts fasting effectiveness and metabolic health. The hosts reveal research showing that identical meals eaten at different times of day produce completely different blood sugar responses—with evening meals causing 17% higher glucose spikes and 20% lower insulin effectiveness. They explain why shifting your eating window earlier in the day can significantly improve weight loss, even without changing your food choices. The episode offers practical strategies for aligning your fasting schedule with your circadian biology, including morning and evening light exposure tips, consistent sleep patterns, and meal timing adjustments that make fasting more effective. Whether you're struggling with a weight loss plateau or looking to optimize your fasting routine, this episode provides actionable steps to harness your body's natural rhythms for better results.
