An honest chat about GLP1-s and Microdosing with Beth Feraco
Monday, 19 January, 2026
In today’s episode, Beth Feraco joins us again for an honest, unfiltered conversation about rapid weight loss, hair loss, and the very real consequences we’re seeing from extreme calorie deficits, GLP-1 misuse, and the explosion of unregulated microdosing. What started as a hairstylist’s concern turned into a much bigger discussion about under-fueling, nutrient deficiencies, muscle and bone loss, and the cultural pressure to be thin at all costs.We break down what peptides actually are, the critical difference between FDA-approved, responsibly prescribed GLP-1 medications and the research chemicals being sold online, and why “boring basics” like eating enough, lifting weights, sleeping, and managing stress still matter - no matter what medication you’re on.This is a grounded, science-forward conversation from coaches who work with real people and care deeply about long-term health, not shortcuts.“You shouldn’t receive a pharmaceutical in the mail, not know how to inject it, not know the dosage, and be DM’ing a random influencer for instructions.”- Beth Feraco“Losing hair is not a flex. That’s not something that should be happening, and you need to do something about it as soon as it starts.”- Beth FeracoThis week on Here’s the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don’t Want Life to Suck:Rapid weight loss from steep calorie deficits often shows up first as hair lossHair loss can be a warning sign of muscle loss, bone loss, and nutrient deficienciesGLP-1 medications can be life-saving when responsibly prescribed and monitoredMicrodosed peptides sold online are unregulated research chemicals, not medicationsInfluencer and MLM peptide marketing is driven by profit, not health or sciencePostpartum and breastfeeding women are often significantly under-fueledHabits, behaviors, and coping skills still matter - even with medicationLong-term health comes from consistency with the boring basics, not shortcutsConnect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of Here’s the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don’t Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!
