Everyone’s Taking GLP-1s… Here’s What They’re Not Telling You With Zeke Samples

GLP-1s are in every medical conversation right now. In this episode, I slow the conversation down and ask a harder question: what are we actually trading for rapid weight loss? I sat down with Zeke Samples to examine why so many patients are drawn to appetite suppression and quick fixes.We explored what doesn’t always make it into the exam room conversation and the downstream effects of relying on pharmacology without building sustainable habits. We also discussed the clinical tension many physicians feel, wanting to help patients see results while knowing that muscle preservation, metabolic flexibility, and resilience matter far more than the number on the scale.We talked about reducing friction through stress regulation and simple nutritional guidelines that patients can maintain. Zeke shared a framework that prioritizes consistency over intensity and behavior change over suppression. If you’re a physician looking to improve outcomes without sacrificing long-term health, this one is for you!“Metabolism 101: You're either a fat burner, or you're a sugar burner.” ~ Zeke SamplesIn This Episode:- Side effects of GLP-1 medications- Alternatives to GLP-1s for sustainable weight loss- Zeke’s training and nutrition habits- Common mistakes people make when losing weight- Health and wellness book recommendationsMentioned in the Episode:Zeke Samples’ book, The Sustainable Edge: https://amzn.eu/d/2fGs0HDConnect with Zeke Samples: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zeke-samples-8764b934Website: https://zekesamples.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeke_samples/Resources:➡️ Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator - https://limitless-md.mn.co/➡️ Check out my programs - https://vikramraya.com/coaching/➡️ Apply to become a Limitless MD - www.I8mastermind.com➡️Claim Your Free 30-minute discovery call and $500 off your engagement with Hall CPA: go.therealestatecpa.com/limitlessConnect with Vikram:Website: https://vikramraya.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vikramraya/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VikramrayamdLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikramraya/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdq9M-kD0L2hy1UlfOK-hwQSpecial Thank You to Music Provided by Music Library: https://soundcloud.com/music-library-non-copyrighted-sounds/300-violin-orchestra-jorge-quintero-copyright-and-royalty-free

We start with Dr. Ryan Mallory, who shares how the traditional W2 physician model is limiting, compared to the freedom enjoyed by locum physicians.

As the founder of Nomad MD, she empowers physicians to explore work-from-anywhere opportunities while still excelling in their field.
