Sometimes the breakthrough isn't in doing more — it's in letting go.

In this week's episode of The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast, we sit down with David Knapp, creator of On The Pen and author of Decoding GLP-1 — two of the most influential sources of news, science and soul in the GLP-1 conversation.

Together, we explore:

● What's coming next — from gene-therapy-based weight loss drugs to Retatrutide, the most powerful GLP-1 yet;

● the evolving FDA position on compounding and access

● David's inspiring personal journey — how giving up alcohol reignited his metabolic health and spiritual purpose

If you want to hear about the latest developments in the GLP-1 space and an inspiring story of what it's like to overcome a lifetime of struggling with your weight… this podcast is for you!
