🚨 New Episode Alert – Ep 171 🚨 GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs with Dr. Christle Guevarra

This week, we’re sitting down with someone who’s making waves in medicine, performance, and innovation: Dr. Christle Guevarra, DO.

Dr. Guevarra is the Production Manager at RP Strength, a traveling team physician for U.S. Figure Skating, and the founder of her own telemedicine practice.

Today, she’s at the forefront of integrating new technologies like semaglutide and AI into modern healthcare—while also teaching fitness professionals across North America how to bring these tools into their practice.

In this episode, Dr. G. shares her deeply personal journey with hunger, satiety, and GLP-1 medications. She opens up about the realities of hormonal changes, the stigma around women’s health, and the power of community in the healing process.

✨ Here are 4 takeaways you’ll get from this episode:

🍽️ Why hunger and satiety struggles are more complex than “willpower”—and how GLP-1s can shift the game.

🤝 How community and connection fuel both physical health and mental resilience.

🌸 Why we need to break the silence around hormonal changes and women’s health.

🔑 Why sustainable lifestyle changes—not quick fixes—are the real foundation of lasting results.

This conversation is equal parts educational and inspiring. If you’ve ever struggled with food noise, hormonal shifts, or weight management, you’ll walk away with perspective, encouragement, and a few “aha” moments.
