The Truth About GLP-1s & the Missing Piece No One Talks About w/ Eliza Kingsford, LPC

We are finally talking about GLP-1s! GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now… and if you're curious, confused or concerned about them - I don't blame you. And today, we're demystifying it. I'm sitting down with licensed psychotherapist,  best-selling author, mind-body practitioner, and trauma-informed weight-management specialist, Eliza Kingsford. We're unpacking the truth about GLP-1s - how they actually work in the body, what the research is showing, and the surprising ways they affect food cravings, appetite, and even our brain’s reward system.This isn’t your typical black-and-white “these drugs are good or bad” kind of talk. Eliza and I go deeper and unpack:What’s really happening in your body when you’re on GLP-1s (hint: it’s not the drug itself causing weight loss). The surprising side effects no one really talks about  Why taking the meds without focusing on protein, muscle, and movement can actually backfire. How these drugs intersect with eating disorders, body image, and self-worth. Why a holistic approach is the only way to create freedom that actually lasts.At the end of the day, this episode is about cutting through the noise and giving you the nuance and truth so you can make the best decision for your health, your body, and your peace of mind.Connect with Eliza:Website: elizakingsford.comInstagram: @elizakingsfordFree Guide: The Ultimate Gide To Navigating GLP-1 Medications For Weight Loss🎧 Subscribe to my brand-new SECRET podcast series: The Food Freedom Experience! 10 bingeable episodes to guide you towards ease, peace and confidence with food. ✨ Grab your spot for my free workshop: How To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food to start healing today! 📲 Follow me for daily tips & resources on instagram! @sabrina.magnan.health 💌 Get on my Food Freedom Weekly Newsletter here: https://site.sabrinamagnan.com/newsletter/ 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

I just got back from spending 3 days surrounded by some of the happiest and most successful people I know - and let me tell you, the breakthroughs I had were nothing short of life-changing.Here’s what I realized: the people we admire the most (those who radiate peace, freedom, and joy) didn’t get there by luck. They got there by doing the hard, uncomfortable inner work that most people avoid. And from being in that room, I walked away with 8 powerful lessons that will change how you see yourself, your relationships, and your definition of success.In this first part of a 2-part series, I’m sharing the first 2 big lessons that shook me to my core (and that you need to hear right now):✨ Why you get to define what success means - and how chasing someone else’s version will always leave you feeling empty ✨ The truth about where your real value comes from (hint: healed people will never value you for something external)This episode is part vulnerable story, part perspective-shifting reminder - and it will give you permission to stop hustling for worthiness and start creating a life that actually feels aligned.If you’ve ever struggled with:Comparing yourself to others and never feeling “enough”Basing your worth on your body, income, or achievementsFeeling like an outsider or like you don’t belong…then this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath of truth and relief.This is only part one, so make sure you tune in next week for the rest of the lessons that will expand how you see yourself and what’s possible for your life.💌 I’d love to hear your takeaways!
