Busting 5 GLP-1 Myths w/ Christine Grant, NP

Send us Fan MailHigher dose isn't better. You're supposed to eat. And no, you don't have to be on Ozempic for life. A nurse practitioner who lost 90 pounds breaks down GLP-1 myths.Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with Christine Grant, NP, a nurse practitioner at Tyde Wellness and a GLP-1 user who has lost 90 pounds over the last two years. They work through the five myths Christine hears most often in clinic — the "easy way out" framing, the idea you shouldn't be hungry, the belief that higher doses work better, the safety panic, and the "on it for life" assumption — and what the reality actually looks like.IN THIS EPISODE- Why undereating on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound backfires — fatigue, hair loss, and muscle loss- The 0.5–2 lb per week sweet spot and why higher doses don't mean faster results- Microdosing for maintenance — what it looks like and who it works for- The cardiovascular case for staying on a GLP-1 long term- How to tell when your dose is actually too high (hint: it's not "I'm hungry sometimes")ABOUT THE GUESTChristine Grant is an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with clinical expertise in urgent care and telemedicine, dedicated to evidence-based, patient-centered care.
