In this episode of the Progression Health Podcast, Ross speaks with holistic health and wellness coach, Taylor Temple, founder of mind.bodybytemple.

Taylor dives deep into working with clients who have tried medications like Ozempic, discussing the short-term benefits, long-term drawbacks, and the importance of shifting to healthier, self-sustaining lifestyle practices. She outlines the critical “small wins” strategy—focusing on fundamentals such as hydration, nutritious foods, and consistent movement—and emphasizes that true transformation starts with mindset, patience, and accountability.

If you’re curious about a more sustainable route to health and fitness, learning how to embrace the basics, and understanding how to measure progress beyond the scale, this conversation is for you.
