Jason Theobald (Scooby Health, Advanced Vitality HRT, GLP Mentor) joins the show for a full GLP-1 deep dive built specifically for people who train — not the general population. We break down the real mechanistic differences between semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide (and why stacking GIP with glucagon suppression changes everything), why retatrutide's aggressive fat-burning comes with a real cost — elevated heart rate, HRV crashing, and in some of Jason's female and perimenopausal clients, lost muscle instead of fat — and why the ”strongest” drug isn't automatically the right one for your hormone profile. Jason also breaks down his own experience pairing GLP-1s with small-dose fast-acting insulin, his tapering protocol for coming off after hitting a goal, and why he considers GLP-1 + HRT one of the most underused combinations for menopausal and andropausal clients. Pulled from thousands of patient cases across his coaching business and his HRT clinic, this is the guide for anyone using — or considering — a GLP-1 as an athlete.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Why Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide aren't interchangeable
- Retatrutide's triple mechanism burns fat fastest, but there’s a catch for some populations
- The real cost of retatrutide most people ignore and how Jason manages it
- Jason's ”Slingshot Method” to grow from GLPs
- The best use case for GLP-1s and metabolic function
