#143: GLP-1s and Body Weight: Common Misunderstandings

GLP-1 medications are everywhere in the conversation about weight—but how much do we really understand? In this episode, Dr. Lexi Giblin, Executive Director of Opal, sits down with Meredith Blumenthal, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in private practice, to unpack the most common misconceptions surrounding GLP-1s and body weight. Together, they explore what these medications actually do, what they don't do, and how changes in nutrition, metabolism, and food relationship occur for those taking GLP-1s.   Whether you're a clinician, patient, or just curious, this episode offers a thoughtful, evidence-based look beyond the headlines.   Connect with Meredith:  Nutrition with Meredith @nutritionwithmeredith   Connect with Opal:  www.opalfoodandbody.com @opalfoodandbody @Opal.Movement   Thank you to our team...
