Dr. Kisha Pickford Featured in “Everyday Health” Discussing GLP-1 Weight Loss Medication

I’m excited to share that I was recently featured in Everyday Health, one of the most trusted national health platforms, to discuss my personal and clinical experience with GLP-1 medications for weight loss. This feature means a lot to me, not just as a nurse practitioner and holistic weight-loss coach, but as a woman who has personally walked this journey.

Why This Feature Matters

GLP-1 weight loss medications are powerful tools, but they come with questions, fears, side effects, and emotions that many women don’t talk about openly. Being able to share my real journey (what surprised me, what was challenging, and what ultimately helped me succeed) is something I hope brings clarity and comfort to any woman navigating this path. In the article, I share:

• Why I started GLP-1s in the first place
• What the medication changed about my hunger and cravings
• What felt difficult during the process
• How I stayed consistent beyond the medication itself
• Real strategies for managing nausea and side effects
• The advice I give all women before starting GLP-1 therapy

This conversation is important, especially for women over 40 who often feel stuck between hormonal changes, metabolic shifts, and the pressure to “just figure it out on your own.”

A Personal and Clinical Perspective

What I shared in the Everyday Health feature is exactly what I tell the women I coach:
GLP-1 weight loss medications work best when you combine them with habits, mindset, and support.

In my holistic practice and inside the FRESH Start Framework at Ample Health & Wellness, I help women:

• Rebuild their relationship with food
• Create sustainable habits
• Manage stress and emotional eating
• Reduce fear of weight regain
• Navigate life during and after GLP-1 use

I walk this path with you because I’ve walked it myself.

What’s Next for Ample

This feature is just the beginning of a deeper conversation about how women can approach weight loss safely, confidently, and holistically — with or without medication.

If you’re on a GLP-1 weight loss medication, thinking about starting one, or transitioning off, I invite you to explore our programs, workshops, and resources designed specifically for women who want long-term success, not quick fixes.

Final Thoughts

I’m grateful to Everyday Health for giving women like us space in this national conversation. If the article resonates with you or you have questions about next steps, I’m always here to help.

Stay healthy and be safe,
