#152 - She Plateaued on GLP-1s… Then Lost 25 More Pounds and 20 Inches

If you’ve ever felt stuck with your weight… this episode is going to hit home.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with one of our incredible clients, Annie, who lost over 40 pounds on GLP-1s… only to hit a frustrating plateau for months.

She was doing what she thought was right.
Eating more protein. Trying to stay consistent.
But nothing was changing.

Sound familiar?

Inside this episode, Annie shares:

• What actually caused her plateau (this will surprise you)
• Why eating more protein alone wasn’t working
• The biggest mistake she was making with calories
• How she went on to lose 25 MORE pounds and 20 inches
• How she’s now eating over 2,000 calories and still seeing results
• And how she finally broke free from years of yo-yo dieting

We also talk about:

• GLP-1s, insulin resistance, and using them the right way
• Why you don’t need cardio to lose body fat
• How to stop obsessing over the scale
• And what it actually takes to lose weight and keep it off for good

This is one of the most real, honest, and powerful transformations we’ve shared on the show.

If you’ve been stuck… frustrated… or feel like nothing is working anymore…

This episode will show you exactly what might be missing.

#151 - She Lost 28 lbs Eating MORE Food (After Failing Keto, WW & Weight Loss Shots)

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of losing weight… only to gain it all back again, this episode is going to hit home for you.

In today’s episode of the Tandem Talk Show, I sat down with one of our amazing clients, Kerri, who lost over 28 pounds through our Metabolic Reset System… and more importantly, has been able to keep it off while eating more food.

Before joining, Kerri tried it all… Weight Watchers, keto, even weight loss shots. While some of those worked short-term, nothing ever gave her a sustainable, long-term solution.

Inside this episode, we break down:

• Why traditional dieting kept her stuck for years
• How she was able to lose weight while still eating foods like pizza and pasta
• What actually happened when she increased her calories after dieting
• The truth about weight loss shots and what no one tells you
• How she shifted from an all-or-nothing mindset to something she can sustain for life

This isn’t just about losing 28 pounds…

It’s about changing your relationship with food, your metabolism, and your mindset so you can finally stop dieting and start living.

If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and want a real, sustainable approach to fat loss… this episode is for you.

For over 20 years, Megan did what most women are told to do.

Eat less.
Work out more.
Start over on Monday.

And for 20 years, she stayed stuck in the same frustrating cycle.

She actually increased her calories by about 350 during her metabolic reset phase and lowered her overall activity.

We talk about:

• Why chronic dieting was keeping her stuck
• What changed when she stopped under-eating
• How strength training replaced excessive cardio
• How she handled scale fluctuations without spiraling
• How she maintained her results instead of regaining

If you’re a woman in your 30s or 40s who feels like your metabolism is broken and nothing works anymore, this episode will challenge everything you’ve been told about fat loss.

Your body is not broken.

But your strategy might be.

If this story resonates with you, listen in. And if you’re ready to stop starting over, you’ll hear exactly what sustainable fat loss actually looks like.

#147 - 50+ Lbs Down In Menopause With Hashimoto’s - Elaine’s Story

Welcome back to the Tandem Talk Show with Coach G — in this inspiring episode we welcome returning guest Elaine (previously featured on episode 138) to share the next chapter of her transformation. Elaine candidly walks through the major obstacles she faced before joining Tandem, including surgical menopause, a Hashimoto’s thyroid diagnosis, vitamin deficiencies, and a severe car accident that left her in a wheelchair for 10 weeks. Despite these hurdles, she describes how she lost over 50 pounds through Tandem’s coaching and structured programming.

Coach G and Elaine discuss the phases of the program she completed — fat loss phases and the Metabolic Reset Phase (MRP) — and how MRP helped reignite her metabolism, increase calories strategically, build muscle, reduce hunger, and make the weight sustainable. Elaine credits Coach Gus for rebuilding her confidence and making exercise enjoyable, and she describes how movement, strength training, and better nutrition reshaped her body and life.

The conversation covers practical changes that produced results: simple, trackable daily goals (calories, protein, water, steps), accessible workouts (starting from home and progressing to the gym), meal strategies and prep, and the mental shift from “living to eat” to “eating to live.” Elaine also reflects on the unexpected social and emotional benefits — new friendships, increased energy, improved cardiovascular fitness, and even signing up for a 10K.

This episode offers encouragement and clear takeaways for listeners, especially women navigating menopause or thyroid issues who feel weight loss is impossible. Elaine emphasizes readiness, self-investment, following a coach, and small consistent steps. Coach G closes by inviting listeners to reach out to learn more about Tandem’s Metabolic Reset Program; you can contact Garrett at garrett@tandemnutrition.com for a free call to discuss goals and whether the program could be a fit.

#146 - How Kathy Lost 30 lbs. While Still Eating Out and Without Stepping Foot in a Gym

Join Coach g on the Tandem Talk Show as he interviews Kathy Baber, a solo-living nonprofit professional who lost over 30 pounds and six pant sizes through Tandem's Metabolic Reset Program. Kathy shares how she balanced real life — frequent dining out, a busy travel schedule, and holidays — with a sustainable plan that didn’t require a gym membership or extreme restriction.

Topics covered include the role of accountability and coaching (Coach Lisa), practical tools Kathy used (Fitbit, food scale, walking pad, dumbbells), and how the Tandem app helped her track macros, calories, water, and particularly sodium — a key insight that reduced water retention and accelerated progress. Kathy also explains how she adapted meal plans, enjoyed favorites like protein-powered pancakes, and used the app to pre-log and balance indulgences like wine or treats around social events.

The episode highlights the coaching support Kathy received (twice-weekly check-ins and restaurant-specific guidance), the non-cookie-cutter nature of the program, and the mental and emotional benefits of her transformation — from improved confidence and headshots to potential health improvements like lower cholesterol. Kathy offers advice for listeners on approaching the program with an open mind, asking questions, and using the app community for ongoing support.

Expect practical tips for tracking while eating out, strategies for maintaining social life and progress through holidays, and inspiring evidence that steady, measured changes plus accountability can deliver big results without giving up the foods you love or living in a gym.
