INTERMITTENT FASTING vs GLP-1 for weight loss PROS and CONS + my experience with both

📉 GLP-1 vs. Intermittent Fasting: What’s REALLY Better for Weight Loss?
In this video, I break down the science-backed pros and cons of intermittent fasting and GLP-1 medications (like Zepbound, Mounjaro, and Ozempic)—specifically through the lens of my own personal journey using both methods.

From hormone impact and appetite control to real-life struggles with binge eating and body composition, I dive into what the research says for both men and women, and how that compares with what I’ve actually experienced in my weight loss journey.

✅ This is an evidence-based video informed by current studies—and grounded in my firsthand insight. Whether you’re considering IF, GLP-1s, or both together, this video is for you.
