Author and speaker Scott Pectol shares how he went from stressed, sleep-deprived, and on autopilot to energized, leaner, and purpose-driven—without extreme gimmicks. After a harsh wake-up call from his doctor, a deep dive into sleep science, Blue Zones eating, and the “happiness macronutrients” (enjoyment, satisfaction, purpose) reshaped Scott's health and mindset. He breaks down the morning routine that keeps him consistent (pushups, walking, meditation, cold showers), why he chose an alcohol-free path, and how to build a lifestyle that supports fat loss, better sleep, and long-term happiness. What You'll Learn Why sleep is the #1 lever for energy, cravings, and sustainable fat loss The difference between enjoyment vs. satisfaction vs. purpose—and why most of us over-index on quick hits How Scott cut alcohol (and kept his social life) during the lockdown—and why energy became the ultimate motivator Blue Zones-inspired eating (beans/legumes, fiber, minimally processed foods) and real-world experiments that guided his diet A simple monk-style morning routine to hard-wire consistency and self-trust How to use ikigai to align work, health, and purpose Culture vs. biology: why ultra-processed foods hijack dopamine and wreck sleep, mood, and metabolism Tiny “do-it-today” actions that compound: walking, hydration, morning light, breathwork, and cold exposure Notable Quotes “Energy is the first ingredient of happiness—and sleep is the first ingredient of energy.” “Do one hard thing every morning you don't want to do that benefits your future self.” “I stopped outsourcing my emotions to food, alcohol, and TV—and took ownership.” “Walk, sleep, and simple whole foods beat hacks and heroics—consistency wins.” CTA If this episode helped you, follow/subscribe and leave a rating & review—it helps more people find the show.

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. Today we're diving into a topic that's been everywhere lately: GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss. You may know them by names like Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. I want to give you a clear, realistic picture of what to expect—because while the media loves to highlight the dramatic before-and-after photos, the real journey can be slower and more nuanced for some. So in this episode, we're going to talk about the truth—what these medications can do, what they can't, how long things really take, and what you need to know to set yourself up for success. Not hype, not magic promises—just real, honest insight to help you understand the process. Let's get into it. How GLP-1 & GIP/GLP-1 Agonists Work So first things first—how do these meds work? Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Basically, they mimic natural hormones in your body that help regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and—most importantly for weight loss—reduce appetite and improve satiety. That means you feel fuller faster and stay full longer. You're not obsessing over food like before. And that's powerful. But—and this is a big one— these peptides don't magically erase years of weight gain overnight. What they do is help make weight loss easier by reducing hunger and supporting your metabolism—but they don't do all the work for you. It's important to remember they're a powerful tool, not a replacement for your efforts. You're still in control of your choices, habits, and long-term success. Why We Titrate the Dose—and What "Therapeutic Dose" Means Now, let's talk about dosing. When you start Wegovy, you don't start at the highest dose. It's gradually increased over several weeks to give your body time to adjust and to help reduce side effects like nausea or stomach upset. The usual schedule looks like this: You'll start with 0.25 mg once a week for the first month. Then it increases every four weeks—0.5 mg, then 1 mg, then 1.7 mg. By week 17, most people reach the full dose of 2.4 mg once a week—that's the dose shown in studies to lead to the most consistent weight loss, with many people losing around 15% of their total body weight over about a year. But here's the thing—not everyone follows this path exactly, and that's okay. Some people need to slow down or stay longer at a lower dose if they're having side effects. Others may need to increase sooner if they're not seeing appetite changes and are tolerating the medication well. And even though 2.4 mg is considered the “therapeutic dose,” not everyone needs to reach it. Some people feel great and lose weight at a lower dose—and if that's you, that's your sweet spot. The real goal is to find the lowest effective dose that controls your hunger, helps you lose weight at a steady pace, and keeps side effects to a minimum. This isn't a one-size-fits-all journey, and pushing through side effects just to hit the max dose isn't necessary—or safe. Your best dose is the one your body handles well and helps you make progress. *How Much Weight Can You Expect to Lose—and How Fast? Let's take a look at the clinical studies. In large trials, people on semaglutide lost about 15% of their total body weight over 68 weeks. For tirzepatide, it was even higher—20% or more in some cases. But here's the thing—those results happened over a year to a year and a half. Not 6 weeks. Not 3 months. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Also, most of the weight loss doesn't happen during the titration phase. You may see some weight loss early on, especially if your appetite plummets. But the bulk of the weight loss happens once you reach and maintain your therapeutic dose. Why Everyone's Journey Looks Different I can't stress this enough—everybody's journey is different. Some people feel zero hunger from their very first injection. Others don't notice a big change until week 10 or 12. Some drop 10 pounds in the first month. Others lose two pounds and feel discouraged. All of those experiences are normal. Your age, hormones, medications, stress levels, sleep, and past diet history? They all play a role. And let's be real—gaining 20, 50, or 100 pounds didn't happen in a few weeks, right? It likely took months or even years of lifestyle habits, hormonal shifts, emotional eating, or underlying conditions. So we have to give ourselves that same grace and patience when we're trying to take the weight off—even with medical support. Navigating Side Effects and Setbacks Let's talk about the side effects. Nausea, constipation, acid reflux, bloating—yeah, these are pretty common as your body adjusts. And sometimes, those symptoms are your body's way of saying: Hey, slow down. Pushing through intense side effects just to hit a higher dose isn't the goal. In fact, it's not safe. You want the lowest effective dose that keeps your appetite under control, the weight coming off gradually, and your side effects minimal or nonexistent. If you need to pause treatment to let your gut settle or even go back down a dose, that's not failure. That's smart, safe self-care. We're in this for the long haul. Trial and Error with Food—and That's OK One part of this journey that catches people off guard is how sensitive your stomach becomes—especially to certain foods or drinks. Greasy or fried foods, spicy meals, carbonated drinks, alcohol—these can all be triggers for nausea or even vomiting while you're on this medication.  And it makes sense when you think about it: the medication slows down how quickly food and drink leave your stomach. So if you're eating or drinking things that already tend to irritate the stomach lining, the effects can hit harder and last longer. Even if those foods didn't bother you before starting treatment, they might now. It's just one of those things your body has to adjust to, and it may take some trial and error to figure out what still works for you. What is Healthy, Sustainable Weight Loss? So what's a healthy pace of weight loss? In general, 1 to 2 pounds per week is considered safe and sustainable. But on GLP-1s, that might vary. Some weeks you may lose 3 pounds. Some weeks, nothing. And guess what? That's normal. You're looking for overall downward trends, not perfection. The goal here is steady, sustainable fat loss—not dropping weight so quickly that you feel miserable, drained, or start losing muscle. Remember, we're not chasing “skinny”—we're aiming for strong, lean, energized, and healthy. And I know we've talked about this before, but it's worth repeating: exercise is not optional when you're on a GLP-1. It's a must. When you lose weight, you lose both fat and muscle. If you're not actively working to maintain or build muscle, you risk becoming weaker and slowing down your metabolism in the process. We want to keep the muscle you have—and ideally, build more—so your body stays strong and your results last. What Is a “Non-Responder”? Now let's touch on something important: what if the medication doesn't seem to work? Let's talk about what it means to be a “non-responder” on a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy or Zepbound. In clinical terms, a non-responder is someone who has been on their therapeutic dose for at least 3 months and has lost less than 5% of their total body weight—even though they're taking the medication correctly and making lifestyle changes like adjusting their diet, increasing physical activity, and managing stress or sleep. Let's break that down with an example: If someone weighs 200 pounds, 5% of their total body weight would be 10 pounds. So if they've been on their therapeutic dose for 12 weeks and have only lost, say, 4 or 5 pounds—despite doing everything right—they may be considered a non-responder. But as we mentioned before, everyone's therapeutic dose may be different. The therapeutic dose isn't just the maximum dose like 2.4 mg of semaglutide or 15 mg of tirzepatide. It's the dose at which you personally begin to experience consistent appetite suppression, weight loss, and minimal side effects. For some people, that may happen at 1 mg of semaglutide. Others may not feel much of a difference until they reach the full 2.4 mg. Some may even respond better at 1.7 mg and not tolerate the higher dose at all. That's why we titrate slowly, monitor your symptoms, and assess both how you feel and how your body is responding. So how do we know if you've reached your therapeutic dose? We look at things like: Has your appetite significantly decreased? Are you noticing earlier fullness or fewer cravings? Are you losing weight consistently over time Are side effects tolerable or nonexistent? If the answer is yes, you're probably at your therapeutic dose. But if the answer is no—if your hunger hasn't changed much, the scale hasn't moved, and you're not noticing any shift in your eating patterns after 3 months on a stable, higher dose—it might be time to re-evaluate. That could mean adjusting the dose, checking for other health issues that might be interfering (like thyroid problems or certain medications), or even considering a different treatment approach. *So what are my final thoughts?  Your journey is unique. Not everyone responds the same way, and that's okay. The key is finding what works for your body, not just what the label says. These medications can absolutely change lives. But they're not magic. They work with your efforts—not instead of them. You'll need to be patient, flexible, and kind to yourself along the way. You may need to tweak your dose, change your food choices, or give your body time to adjust. That's part of the process. And remember—this isn't just about weight loss. It's about reclaiming your health, confidence, and energy. So take it one step at a time. Celebrate every win. And know that slow progress is still progress.

When you're 330 episodes into a podcast, sometimes it's powerful to revisit where it all began—the heart behind Direction Not Perfection. What has kept this passion going strong for over five years? Growth—yes—but more importantly, consistency in the message:We are turning away from diet mentality and moving toward sustainable, lasting health—both physical and mental—while learning to love and accept ourselves right where we are.One of the foundational concepts I teach—and what inspired the title of my book Direction Not Perfection—is exactly that. I wrote the book because I kept having the same meaningful conversations with clients in my hospital job (fun fact: I worked in both surgical and non-surgical weight loss). These conversations deserved a place to live, so others could benefit too.So what is diet mentality? It's the belief that the next strict plan will be the magic fix. It's the “I'll just get super strict for a few months” mindset. And while that might work short term, it's not sustainable. And if it's not sustainable, it's not success.Long-term success—the kind that's still sticking with you when you're 80—requires sustainable strategies. It means doing the deeper work. It means discovering what you enjoy when it comes to movement and nutrition—not what someone else tells you to do.This is about mindset, resilience, and consistency. The change is in the show up.A quick recap of today's key takeaways:1.   Turn away from diet mentality – There's a better, more sustainable path that ends the yo-yo cycle.2.   Eyes on your own paper – This is your journey. Trust it.3.   Redefine success – Sustainable progress starts with shifting expectations and building confidence through small wins.If this message resonates with you, I'd love to invite you into our Direction Not Perfection: Real Weight Loss for Women After 40 private Facebook community. You'll find free tracking worksheets on my website to help you start practicing different ways to measure progress.Until next time—cheers to health, happiness, and showing up for yourself.———————————————————-About Your Host, Lindsey House:I'm a dietitian, personal trainer, and accountability coach helping individuals break free from all-or-nothing thinking and create sustainable wellness habits.Website → https://www.healthaccountabilitycoach.com Facebook → https://facebook.com/houselifestylesMore Wellness & Mindset Videos:• Emotional Healing with Margie Odom: https://youtu.be/3L1VRGnWdJU• Why Do We Self Sabotage? | Dr. Eliza Kingsford: https://youtu.be/pe6b2kgdeNc• Too Much On Her Plate | Dr. Melissa McCreary: https://youtu.be/PMeMSknHei0

If you keep looking for that next quick fix or program that will finally help you lose weight, or if you're super stressed and don't think it has anything to do with your feeling stuck, today's episode is for you.    So many women throw spaghetti at the wall, hoping something will stick, and often, it just leaves them more confused about what to do, or worse, they can think they are broken, or it must be their hormones or other factors causing them to not be able to get the results they want.    While this can happen sometimes, you still need the basics in your lifestyle to be able to sustain results long-term. And, spoiler alert, that stress you're constantly under can definitely hinder your results.    Oftentimes the best results lie in the boring basics, doing the things that actually will move the needle over and over again.   If this episode helps you, I would love to hear about it!

Instead of fixating on the scale, shift your focus to how you feel—physically and emotionally. While tracking numbers offers helpful structure, lasting results come from staying present, consistent, and committed to progress over perfection.Being part of a supportive community and intentionally planning will help you maintain healthier habits during challenging times like vacations and conferences. Scheduling check-ins, packing snacks, and prioritizing wellness, can help you avoid the typical wellness pitfalls of travel.Transformation takes root when healthy decisions become second nature. This shift fosters a sense of empowerment and often inspires those nearby, creating a ripple effect that encourages collective growth. Consistent choices, made with intention, serve as a quiet but powerful example of what's possible when wellness becomes a way of life.QUOTES: (07:40) “Am I an example or a warning? You get to a point where you have to decide that time is important, and I don't want the quality of the subsequent decades of my life to be different because I kept saying, ‘Next Monday is gonna be the time.'” -  Shannon: Healthy Vibe Tribe Member(21:31) “There's something really powerful about the words we use, not just in terms of lost weight, which many of you listeners know, is like nails on a chalkboard to me. We remove it, we release it.” - Jenn Trepeck(32:22) “But the point is that perfection is not required, and bringing the exercise clothes is still progress over where we've been before.”  - Jenn Trepeck(35:04) “When we start to make quality choices, it inherently invites other people around us to do it too, in a way that's not pushy. Our consistency in healthier choices allows the people around us to adapt.” -  Jenn Trepeck(40:19) “Accountability, even if it looks a little bit different, is keeping the things in place that we know helped us get here.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Want to Jump Into Round 2 of the Healthy Vibe Tribe?
