Can GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro actually change your life — or are most people doing them completely wrong?

In this episode of Heal Without Harm, Dr. Clayton Dir sits down with Kellie Chastain (CEO of Evolve Healthcare, a direct primary care clinic in Wichita, KS) and Rebekah Morse (Nutrition Coach at Natural Wellness Nutrition) for an honest, unfiltered conversation about GLP-1 medications, sustainable weight loss, and what the wellness industry keeps getting wrong.

In this episode:

• Why GLP-1s are a tool — not a magic pill — and what happens when people treat them like one
• The real reason people lose muscle on Ozempic (and how to prevent it)
• What "Ozempic face" and "Ozempic butt" actually tell us about how most people are using these drugs
• The 9-week protocol Evolve Healthcare uses to get lasting fat loss without sacrificing muscle
• How nutrition coaching and GLP-1 programs overlap more than you'd think
• Why your environment and social circle may matter more than any medication
• Simple nutrition guardrails everyone should know (protein, fiber, and vegetables — the unsexy truth)
• Compounded semaglutide vs. tirzepatide: what's the difference and who needs what?
• What it actually looks like to successfully come off GLP-1s for good

Whether you're considering GLP-1s, already on them, or just trying to lose weight the right way — this episode gives you the full picture from people doing it the right way in Wichita, KS.

If you get sharp pain on the outside of your knee when you walk or run, this episode breaks down IT band syndrome in a way that finally makes sense. Physical therapist Dr. Clayton Dir explains what the IT band actually is (think “Achilles tendon of the upper leg”), why that 5–20 degrees of knee bend can light you up, and why foam rolling the side of your thigh usually isn’t the answer. You’ll learn where to really target your soft tissue work, how to start calming symptoms down, and the exact hip and knee strength pattern he gives most runners before they return to mileage

• Why runners get IT band pain on the outside of the knee

• The truth about foam rolling your IT band vs your lateral quad

• A simple hip-and-knee strength template to start fixing the problem

Physical therapist Dr. Clayton Dir continues the Four Pillars of Health series with Hydration—and challenges what you think you know about “8 glasses a day.”

You’ll walk away with a simple way to gauge whether you’re actually hydrated, when it might make sense to reach for electrolytes, and how to tweak your daily routine so your energy, workouts, and recovery quietly improve over the next few weeks.

Physical therapist Dr. Clayton Dir continues the Four Pillars of Health series with Nutrition—showing you how to make eating feel simple, satisfying, and sustainable by focusing on what to put on your plate, not what to cut out.
