Over nearly three months and traveling frequently, Jaisa Bishop has lost over 20 pounds, averaging one to two pounds per week—progress she’s proud of, especially since it’s been gradual and sustainable.
Welcome back to Weight Loss Decoded - GLP Edition! In today’s episode, I sit down with Jaisa Bishop, one of my patients, to get real about the unique challenges of weight loss during perimenopause and menopause. Jaisa Bishop opens up about her journey—how a pivotal moment looking at a backstage family photo made her realize how much weight she’d gained, and the frustrations of not being able to lose it, no matter how healthy she ate or how much she exercised.
We talk candidly about Jaisa Bishop’s experience starting GLP-1 medication: her initial fears, how it felt to finally see progress after years of struggle, and the surprising cognitive and emotional benefits she experienced. You'll also hear practical tips and honest advice for anyone considering a GLP-1 journey.

Here are my 3 key takeaways:
- GLP-1s can be a game-changer for midlife weight challenges: Jaisa Bishop shares that after struggling to lose weight despite healthy eating and exercise, starting tirzepatide helped her lose 20+ pounds in three months—with minimal side effects.
- It’s not “cheating”—sometimes you need help: As an athlete, Jaisa Bishop initially resisted medication but realized that changing hormones and stress made weight loss nearly impossible without extra support.
- Unexpected benefits beyond the scale: We discuss feeling sharper, more energetic, and emotionally balanced—highlighting cognitive and mental health improvements that some patients experience on GLP-1s.
