Ep 180. Navigating GLP-1 Weight Loss Meds with Ana Reisdorf, RD

With 74 % of Americans being overweight or obese, weight loss drugs seem to be the magic pill and answer for so many. But, is it? Today, we delve into many varying health perspectives that could be influenced by GLP-1 medications and weight loss without a strategy. The idea that people may actually become malnourished, or 'skinny fat' over time with a future self lacking adequate lean mass is a real risk with weight loss medications. Like fad or yo-yo diets that come and go with varying trends over time, are these GLP-1 medications another nail in the coffin of women's body image, relationship with food and long-term health, or can these be a good 'tool in the toolbox' and a resource for those who have struggled their whole life with weight issues?Tune in to hear the lively and passionate conversation with dietitian Ana Reisdorf, RD, who has been taking these medications herself and now runs the GLP-1Hub resource for health care professionals and the public.Ana Reisdorf, RD https://glp-1hub.com/Episodes mentioned: Ozempic Medications and Weight Loss MedicationsGet the Skinny with Rhonda Krick, RD (Ep 152)https://youtu.be/nxpaQ0jc8NY?si=j15p7o7zSw0zzK43Ozempic Case Study Nutrition Nuggets 101https://youtu.be/nxpaQ0jc8NY?si=VvOFN1rNH7P1pKbVDoes Diet Affect Medication with Dr. Dean Elbe, Pharmacist (Ep 178)https://youtu.be/toDY_PAmsS0?si=lWMUEEhPKpW6CfoyEnjoying the show?
