Free guide for people on a GLP-1 — or about to start one
Lose the weight.
Keep the muscle.
Don't gain it
all back.
The scale is finally moving. But you’ve seen people drop 40 pounds, come off the medication, and gain back every pound — looking smaller, softer, and more tired than when they started. This free guide is the playbook for doing it right.
25–40%
of every pound lost on a GLP-1 is muscle — not fat — without a proper training protocol
Most
people who stop a GLP-1 without an exit plan regain the weight — looking softer than when they started
35
The age window where metabolic rules quietly change — and most coaches miss it entirely
The problem
The scale is moving.
So why doesn't it
feel like a win?
Underneath the relief, there’s a question you can’t put down: what happens when I stop?
You’ve heard the stories. People lose the weight, get off the medication, and gain it all back — plus a few extra pounds. You’ve seen people on GLP-1s who look smaller but soft. Tired. Weak.
That confusion isn’t your fault. The GLP-1 conversation is a mess. Half of it is fearmongering, the other half is hype — and almost none of it tells you what to actually do, day to day, to make sure the weight stays off.
That’s where most clients land when they get to us: defeated, frustrated, and confused about what the actual answer is. You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the diet. You’ve added the supplement someone on Instagram swore by. The needle moves a week, then it doesn’t.
“The GLP-1 conversation is a mess. Half of it is fearmongering, the other half is hype, and almost none of it tells you what to actually do.”
This guide fixes that.
What’s actually at risk
The medication kills
your appetite.
That's it.
A GLP-1 does one thing well: it reduces appetite. Everything else — your muscle, your strength, your energy, and whether you keep the weight off — is on you and the support you build around it. Here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud:
Without resistance training, roughly 25–40% of every pound you lose on a GLP-1 is muscle, not fat. That muscle is what keeps your metabolism up, your strength intact, and your body looking like a body you want to live in. Lose it, and you become the “smaller but softer” person you were trying not to be. Worse, you set yourself up to gain the fat back the moment you stop.
The GLP-1 Survival Guide
The boring fundamentals
that actually work.
What Ikaria actually does
The boring fundamentals
that
actually work.
No fluff. No 27-supplement stack. No biohack nonsense. The GLP-1 Survival Guide is the small number of things that matter — the same playbook used with 1:1 coaching clients — laid out so you can start today.
01 — Pre-flight
The labs and baselines to get before you start.
So you’re tracking your body, not just the scale. Know your numbers before the medication changes them.
02 — Training
The training non-negotiable.
The exact weekly plan that protects your muscle while the weight comes down. Not optional. Not complicated.
03 — Nutrition
Eat-with-intention nutrition.
Protein targets, a food hierarchy for when you can barely eat, and hydration that fixes the “I feel terrible” days.
04 — Supplements
The short supplement list.
Six supplements worth taking, and the ones to skip. Most of the market is selling you a catalog. This isn’t that.
05 — Lifestyle
Lifestyle levers.
Sleep, stress, and alcohol: the multipliers that quietly make or break your results while everything else is working.
06 — Side Effects & Exit
The side-effect playbook + the exit plan — the part most people skip.
A cheat sheet for nausea, constipation, fatigue, and more. Plus the off-ramp strategy that’s the difference between keeping the result and losing it. Includes a 30-day checklist to put it to work immediately.
Who this is for
This is for you if…
- You’re about to start a GLP-1 and want to set it up right from day one — not scramble to fix it six months in.
- You’re already on one and want to make sure you’re not quietly wrecking your muscle, your energy, or your future self.
- You’re getting close to coming off and want a real exit plan — not a cliff. The medication is not a forever plan, and the off-ramp matters as much as the protocol.
Why us
Built by a coach who
actually reads the labs.
I’m Brad Davidson, co-founder of Ikaria Longevity. We coach people through GLP-1s the same way we coach every protocol: labs in, a plan built for your numbers, and an exit strategy from day one.
That last part — the off-ramp — is the piece the industry skips and the reason so many people gain it all back.
This guide is the no-guesswork version of that approach, free. Read it once and you’ll know exactly what to do.
