Wisdom With GLP-1s | Coach Alex Tackles Ozempic and Monjaro

📖 Episode Summary

In this solo episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast*, Coach Alex VanHouten tackles one of today’s most controversial health trends: the rise of GLP-1-based weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and ZepBound.

As a faith-based health coach and exercise scientist, Alex unpacks the science behind peptides—what they are, how they work, and the pros and cons of using them in a health journey rooted in stewardship and discipleship.

But more importantly, this conversation goes deeper than biology and brand names. Should Christians be using these drugs? Can they be tools of stewardship—or are they shortcuts that skip the spiritual transformation required in our walk with God?

You’ll learn what peptides do in the body, how they impact satiety, insulin response, and lean muscle mass—and why none of that matters if you haven’t laid a strong foundation first.

With biblical encouragement and practical wisdom, Alex walks listeners through three critical prerequisites before considering these drugs: consistent weight training, high-nutrient eating, and adequate protein intake.

Whether you’ve considered taking these medications, are already on them, or are supporting a loved one who is—this episode offers clarity, caution, and Christ-centered perspective.
