"Is it depression, anxiety, or is it an under-fueled brain?"

As GLP-1 receptor agonists become more widely prescribed, clinicians are seeing a rising trend: clients who report feeling fatigued, flat, or anxious midway through their weight loss journey.

The culprit? Often, it’s an unintentional dip in essential amino acids, rapid muscle loss, blood sugar instability, and malnutrition.

In this upcoming 3-hour workshop hosted by Cascadia Training, Dr. Kristen Allott translates complex nutritional neurobiology into practical, scope-appropriate tools you can immediately use in your clinical practice.

Course Title: The GLP-1 Frontier: Balancing Metabolic Health, Muscle Mass, and Mental Wellness
When: Friday, September 18, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT

You can't update a client's mental software if their biological hardware is running on low power! 🔋

GLP-1 medications significantly alter appetite and metabolic signals. If a client isn't consuming enough protein or maintaining muscle mass, their brain loses the fundamental building blocks it needs to produce serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.

"The point is not to try harder; it's to resist life less." — Anne Lamott

In a recent interview with David Perell, Anne Lamott shared this brilliant reminder about creativity and human nature. As writers, practitioners, and humans, we often trap ourselves in the belief that progress requires brute force—more willpower, harder pushes, and relentless effort.

In my work as a clinician and creator, I see this exact dynamic play out in the physical body every day. When your biological hardware is under-fueled or overwhelmed, the nervous system naturally braces and resists. We try to force productivity, writing, or health habits through pure exhaustion, treating life like a mountain we have to conquer rather than a process we participate in.

What happens if you stop trying to push through the wall and simply resist life less?

Would you finally go out dancing?
Would you reach out and ask that colleague to coffee?
Would you stop demanding a 10-mile run for health, and instead walk around the block, eat a carrot, and call it a win?

One of my early mentors used to remind her students of a crucial truth:

“It is not the outcome that matters most; it is the try and try again.”

Lowering the bar isn't giving up—it’s fueling your nervous system so you can take the first step without triggering panic or paralysis. You don't need a masterpiece today. You just need to show up for the try.

I often set a number of times that I will try.

By 10 times, I don’t have thoughts of hating it and can name some things that I appreciate.
By 30 times, I know the routine; I have a pattern.
By 100 times, it has its own energy and is building to something I could not see before I started.

Everybody has different transition times. What is yours? Start with something small. Commit to a process.

If you resisted life a little less today, what small step would you take?

I love this!
I love that for a moment.

Nature pulled me out of my to-do list- post something on social media.

I could hear, with you, the dialogue between the Raven and the Crows.

If you saw this post. Try going outside and listening for the birds, or the bees, or the children playing in the park.

I find joy when I use my senses for the NOW.

Blessings,

What you’ll learn:
✅ The Legal Scope: Eric Ström helps you feel confident discussing physical health while staying compliant with your license.
✅ The Biological Map: Dr. Kristen Allott bridges the Polyvagal Ladder and IFS, showing how metabolic shifts fundamentally alter emotional tone.
✅ The Practical Framework: Gain evidence-based nutritional strategies to stabilize the "hardware" and mitigate emotional volatility in real-time.

Stop chasing symptoms and start stabilizing the system. Attendees will gain a practical framework for using food as a tool to re-engage the "responsive brain" and manage acute mental health conditions with legal and clinical authority.

Ever notice how a spike in anxiety sometimes lines up perfectly with a skipped meal?

When clients experience high anxiety, one of the simplest questions we can ask is, "When did you last eat?" On July 30th, Cascadia Training is hosting a seminar featuring Eric Strom, JD, LMHC, and Dr. Kristen Allott, ND, L.Ac.

Dr. Allott will break down the neurobiology of how skipping meals or cutting carbs can actively drive up anxiety. Plus, you'll learn exactly how to navigate your scope of practice as a mental health professional and get concrete examples of how to chart these interventions so you can get paid by insurance.
