In this episode, I'm sitting down with Ashley Koff, registered dietitian, USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot, and founder of the Better Nutrition Program, for a conversation I've wanted to have for a long time. Not another "are GLP-1s good or bad" debate, but a real dive into the science, the nuance, and the questions I don't think enough of us are asking before starting one of these medications.
In this episode we cover:
-
Why GLP-1 and GIP are "weight health hormones," not just weight-loss drugs
-
The receptor-site "garage" analogy that finally made hormone signaling click for me
-
Why muscle loss on these medications is a red flag, not a badge of honor
-
The digestive-health foundation Ashley says nobody skips without consequences
-
Why HRT and GLP-1s are showing up together in new research, and what that combination might mean for women in perimenopause
-
The real reasons people come off these medications
-
Why Ashley says walk away from anyone selling a hormone (any hormone) as "the solution"
Let's dive in!
