Beyond the Shot: GLP‑1s, Muscle & True Wellness | A Live Panel with SPMJ Aesthetics

When rapid weight‑loss drugs hit mainstream trends, we knew we couldn’t stay silent. So we invited our friends and medical pros from SPMJ Aesthetics – Dr. Mary Jordan (board‑certified surgeon & obesity medicine advocate) and Shaun Paulson NP (nurse practitioner, metabolic wellness specialist) – into the studio for a no‑BS, live panel discussion. Together we break down what’s real (and what’s not) about GLP‑1 medications, body composition, muscle preservation, nutrition and long‑term health. This isn’t a “quick fix” talk. It’s about doing transformation with integrity, science, and strength.

Dr. Mary Jordan is a board‑certified surgeon and co‑founder of SPMJ Aesthetics, with decades of experience, now focusing on medically supervised weight‑management and metabolic wellness through SPMJ Aesthetics.

Shaun Paulson NP is a nurse‑practitioner and skin rejuvenation expert, specializing in healthy aging from the outside in.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
✨ GLP‑1 meds aren’t magic unless you build the foundation. Fat loss without muscle‑sparing practices can lead to strength loss – but with protein, resistance training, and smart nutrition, you can lose fat and preserve or build lean mass.
✨ Sustainable progress ⟩ “fast and gone.” Aiming for roughly 1 pound per week and backing that with strength work and adequate fuel helps preserve metabolism, energy, and long‑term health.
✨ Health is deeper than the scale. When fat loss is done right (with nutrition, exercise, and medical supervision) you lower inflammation, support metabolic balance, protect connective tissue/skin, and avoid the “gaunt” side‑effects we see online.
