Ep. 1126 – What Fitness Coaches Get Wrong About GLP-1 Medications with Sharon Polsky

“My ego doesn't need 80 people in a class anymore. My ego needs to help one person at a time.” – Sharon Polsky

Today’s featured bookcaster is a leading GLP-1 weight loss coach, global fitness expert, certified nutritionist, and the owner of UNLEASHED Women’s Fitness, Sharon Polsky. Sharon and I had a fun on a bun chat about her book, “Weight Loss Decoded: Unlocking The Truth about GLP Weight Loss Medications”, her journey from pole-acrobatics competitor to decorated coach of thousands of GLP-1 patients, why weight loss is more complex than calories in, calories out, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

What inspired Sharon to write her book and what she learned about herself through the writing process

How GLP-1 medications are challenging traditional fitness beliefs and weight loss myths

How menopause, hormones, and metabolism can influence weight management

Why fitness professionals should embrace individualized approaches to helping clients

Three major lessons she learned from starting, growing, and running her podcasts
