‘I’m a fitness coach. I tried a GLP-1 drug for three weeks’
After 15 years of helping people manage their health and fitness, coach Arvind Ashok decided to try a GLP-1 drug for three weeks. It changed the way he understood one of the biggest challenges many of his clients face: food noise — and what it really takes to keep the weight off
A fitness coach, who has helped many people improve their health and weight, decided to test a GLP-1 drug for three weeks. As someone who already maintains a healthy lifestyle, he questioned the necessity of the drug. However, he took it to understand its effects better and guide his clients. Mounjaro, an advanced GLP-1 medication, was prescribed to him at a starting dose of 2.5 mg per week.
Within three weeks, he noticed remarkable changes. The drug helped him focus less on food, leading to a natural inclination towards healthier meals. His energy levels improved significantly, and he experienced a natural desire to consume nutritious food. His muscle mass increased by 1.2 kg, and his fat decreased by 3.2 kg. Despite some side effects such as headaches, low-grade nausea, increased heart rate, and mild brain fog, he found the benefits outweighed the costs.
He emphasized the importance of proper medical consultation and monitoring before taking such medications.
