TRUSTED RESOURCES TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS

The scale doesn't tell the whole story. You can have a normal weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) and still have sarcopenia (visceral fat). Tracking your waist and hip circumference gives you insight about your visceral fat and metabolic risk.

A smart measuring tape makes it easier to accurately track your body measurements over time, helping you to spot real progress, identify your risk for sarcopenia and monitor your metabolic health.

Body weight alone is a poor metric to follow. A home body composition scale tracks fat mass, lean mass, and trends that reflect true metabolic health and change. 

This is especially important if you’re using GLP-1 medications, where rapid weight loss can include significant muscle loss. Monitoring body composition helps ensure fat loss—not muscle loss—so metabolic health is preserved.

Grip strength is a powerful marker of muscle health, metabolic resilience, and longevity. 

A hand dynamometer is an easy way to objectively measure grip strength at home, helping identify early muscle loss and functional decline. 

Tracking grip strength over time is especially valuable during weight loss or GLP-1 use, where preserving lean muscle is critical for long-term metabolic health.

Where you buy supplements matters. Many online retailers sell counterfeit or improperly stored products with incorrect dosing or hidden contaminants. 

My Fullscript store provides access to professional-grade supplements that are third-party tested for purity, potency, and safety. 

After creating an account, look for the CLEANSE – Why You Can’t Lose Weight recommendations.  Here you'll find the FDA-approved medical foods (which include SKRMs), liver support, and digestive enzymes I trust and use in my protocols.

Supplement quality matters, especially for muscle preservation and metabolic health. Momentous sets an exceptionally high standard, using fully transparent formulas and ingredients trusted by elite athletes and professional organizations. 

They are one of the few supplement companies that uses Creapure®, the global gold standard for creatine monohydrate, manufactured in Germany and tested to 99.9% purity. This is the only creatine I use and recommend.

Why creatine matters for women: Creatine supports muscle preservation, strength, and cellular energy production—critical during midlife, weight loss, and GLP-1 use when muscle loss risk increases. Adequate creatine intake helps maintain the metabolic rate, improves exercise tolerance, and supports cognitive function, making it an important tool for long-term metabolic health and healthy aging.

Peptides can be powerful tools—but where they come from and how they’re used matters.

Many people are purchasing peptides from “research-only” websites that clearly state their products are not for human consumption. These sources offer no clinical oversight, no quality assurance, and no guarantee of purity or proper dosing. 

A safer, more responsible option is working with Vidal Medical, which provides:

• Evaluation by a licensed medical provider who reviews your health history and medications

• Prescription peptides sourced from licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies

• Proper dosing guidance, monitoring, and clinical accountability

If you’re going to use peptides, do it the right way—with quality, oversight, and safety as the priority.

Start implementing what you've learned.  I always say that supplements don't work sitting in a cupboard.  The same goes for books.  You won't change your health if you don't implement what you've learned.

The Why You Can’t Lose Weight Companion Workbook helps you apply the concepts from the book using guided prompts, clarity questions, and structured worksheets based on the Body by Alchemy™ Method. 

It walks you through identifying your specific imbalances, tracking key symptoms, and creating a personalized roadmap—so weight loss, digestion, and energy improve through precision, not guesswork.

Gut health is a key driver of weight-loss resistance. As discussed in Why You Can’t Lose Weight, standard labs often miss microbiome imbalances that disrupt metabolism, hormones, and fat storage.

You can have microbiome imbalances even if you don't have gut symptoms.  Imbalances occur by eating a Standard American Diet, too much stress, food poisoning or taking medications like NSAIDs, antibiotics, acid reflux meds or birth control pills.

The Precision Gut Test is a comprehensive at-home analysis that identifies these hidden drivers and provides a personalized roadmap, allowing you to target root causes instead of relying on trial-and-error approaches.

Balancing your circadian rhythm is foundational for metabolic health, hormone signaling, and leptin sensitivity. 

EMR-TEK provides precision-engineered blue light–blocking glasses and red light panels designed for accurate wavelength delivery. Unlike many other companies, their products are low EMF and have zero flicker. 

Using targeted light exposure at the right times helps regulate sleep-wake cycles, reduce metabolic stress, and improve leptin signaling—key principles discussed in the book for restoring metabolic balance.

If you’re a practitioner interested in how I wrote a book and turned it into a client-attracting asset, Book to Buyer is the framework I used. 

This live, in-person experience teaches health entrepreneurs how to write, publish, and position a book in days—not years—using clear structure, copy prompts, built-for-you templates and built-in marketing pathways.
