Your GLP-1 Goal Weight Was Never the Real Finish Line w/ Suzy Chase

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail Reaching your goal weight on a GLP-1 can feel like the finish line, until the scale jumps two pounds and the old panic rushes back. In this conversation, Ana Reisdorf and Suzy Chase unpack why maintenance is a different job from active weight loss, how strength and cardiovascular fitness can replace “smaller” as the goal, and how Suzy uses AI-assisted tracking to put day-to-day changes into context. The question underneath it all: does every change on the scale actually require a response? **SPONSORS** Tyde Wellness: https://tydewellness.com/GLP1Hub Use code GLP1Hub50 for $50 off your first month.

Her shows include Dinner Party on a GLP-1, Cookery by the Book, Decorating by the Book, and The Groove Radio, the original mixtape podcast, launched in 2005. She's the creator of The GLP-1 AI Method, a pay-what-you-wish framework that pairs daily AI-assisted tracking with a wellness approach, built from her own journey in maintenance. She lives in the West Village with her husband and son off at college, and trains six days a week, three cardio classes at The Ness and three weightlifting classes at Liftonic, with a long-term philosophy she calls training for 80. This is her experience, not a protocol. **CONNECT WITH SUZY** https://suzychase.substack.com https://suzychase.gumroad.com https://suzychase.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dinnerpartyonaglp1 **CHAPTERS** 00:00 Maintenance Is a Different Job 01:19 Suzy’s GLP-1 Story and Two Years in Maintenance 05:54 Why Weight Loss and Maintenance Feel Different 08:05 Training for 80 10:23 The GLP-1 AI Method and What Suzy Tracks 14:22 Using AI as an Emotional Check on Scale Changes 19:17 Suzy’s 20-Year Podcasting Journey 20:46 Why Fitness Belongs in GLP-1 Maintenance 23:04 Stop Shrinking and Start Building 24:05 Accessible Fitness Options Beyond NYC Studios 25:28 Making Morning Movement Automatic 28:44 How Suzy Starts a Simple AI-Assisted Log 31:15 Where to Find Suzy and Closing Thoughts MORE FROM GLP-1 HUB 📬 Get The Steady State, Ana's weekly newsletter with GLP-1 guidance from a dietitian who's on one: http://join.glp-1hub.com 🎙 Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and if this episode helped, leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify - it's the single best way to help more people find the show. 🌐 Shop GLP-1 essentials, meal plans, and recipes: https://shop.glp-1hub.com 📷 Follow on Instagram: @glp1hub 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLP-1hub *Some of the links shared are affiliate links.
