I had a patient walk into my office recently looking frustrated. She sat down, crossed her arms, and said, "Dr. Shelly, my medication has stopped working. I lost 32 pounds, but for the last six weeks my weight hasn't budged. Am I immune to this medication?" If you've looked at the scale lately and wondered the same thing, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the seven most common reasons weight loss plateaus happen, from still being on a starting dose to hidden medical conditions like thyroid issues or PCOS that can quietly work against you. I'll also break down why protein intake and resistance training matter more than most people realize once a GLP-1 medication kicks in.

But here's what matters most: a plateau doesn't mean your medication has failed. Your body is incredibly smart, and adapting is exactly what it's designed to do.

You'll learn exactly what's happening biologically during a stall, and the five practical steps to get your progress moving again.
