GLP-1 Hub: Support, Community, and Weight Loss

Send us Fan MailEveryone on Ozempic worries about losing muscle, almost no one is watching their bones, and one in two women over 50 will fracture one.Registered dietitian Ana Reisdorf sits down with Tony Orlando, founder of DEXA Plus, to break down what a DEXA scan actually reveals about your body on a GLP-1: bone density, muscle, and the hidden visceral fat the scale will never show you. If you're losing weight on Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro, this is the metric that tells you whether you're doing it right — or quietly wrecking the muscle and bone you can't afford to lose.IN THIS EPISODE- What a DEXA scan measures (bone density, muscle, visceral fat) and why the scale lies when you're on a GLP-1- Why insurance won't pay for a DEXA until age 65 — and what it actually costs out of pocket- How rapid Ozempic and Wegovy weight loss can quietly drain your bone density- Visceral fat vs subcutaneous fat: the hidden fat around your organs tied to type 2 diabetes and heart disease- DEXA vs InBody and bioimpedance scales — why your body fat reading can swing 7+ points between themABOUT THE GUESTTony Orlando is the founder of DEXA Plus and a leading advocate for integrating precision health technology into modern healthcare and wellness practices. He works with medical providers, clinics, and performance facilities to implement DEXA scanning as a core tool for delivering accurate, actionable body composition data. Tony's focus is on helping providers move beyond the scale—giving their patients and clients real insight into fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolic health, especially in the context of GLP-1 therapies. His approach empowers professionals to use objective data to guide better decisions, improve outcomes, and create more personalized care. Through DEXA Plus, Tony is helping reshape how providers measure progress, turning weight loss from guesswork into something that can be clearly tracked, understood, and optimized.CONNECT WITH TONYWebsite: https://www.dexaplus.comFind a provider: https://www.dexascan.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyorlando.dexaguru/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dexaplus3583SPONSORTyde Wellness — GLP-1 care done right: licensed providers who adjust your dosing as your body changes, plus a real care team you can message when you plateau.http://tydewellness.com/GLP1Hub — code GLP1Hub50 for $50 off your first monthCHAPTERS00:00  The warning no one gives GLP-1 users01:58  Meet Tony & what a DEXA really measures04:06  Why insurance won't cover it until 6506:16  What a DEXA costs out of pocket12:05  The hidden toxic fat around your organs13:33  Protecting your bones on a GLP-120:20  DEXA vs InBody: why the numbers don't match24:51  The protocol every GLP-1 user needs27:11  VO2 max, RMR & the markers that matter30:04  Where health and longevity are headedMORE FROM GLP-1 HUB📬 Get The Steady State, Ana's weekly newsletter with GLP-1 guidance from a dietitian who's on one: http://join.glp-1hub.com🎙 Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and if this episode helped, leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify - it's the single best way to help more people find the show.🌐 Shop GLP-1 essentials, meal plans, and recipes: https://shop.glp-1hub.com📷 Follow on Instagram: @glp1hub📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLP-1hub*Some of the links shared are affiliate links.

In this episode, Ana Reisdorf sits down with registered dietitian Jennifer Scheinman to talk about why muscle strength matters just as much as muscle mass, how mitochondria influence energy, mobility, and healthy aging, and what GLP-1 users can do right now to support muscle with a balanced diet, enough protein, exercise, and smart supplementation.

In this episode, Ana sits down with Dr. Renee Korczak, PhD, RDN, to cut through the noise around dietary fats. They cover the four main types of fat, why unsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs) should make up the bulk of what you eat, how to handle the protein-plus-saturated-fat challenge on a GLP-1, where omega-3s fit in, and how to approach the micronutrient deficiencies GLP-1 users are increasingly running into.

Send us Fan MailNavigating the world of GLP-1 telehealth providers is overwhelming and most people have no reliable way to compare options before committing hundreds of dollars. Sabina Hemmi has been on a GLP-1 for over three years, lost 60 pounds, dealt with nearly every side effect in the book, and turned her frustration with the provider landscape into a full platform to help others avoid the confusion she went through. In this episode, she walks through what GLP Winner tracks and why — price breakdowns, compounding pharmacy transparency, real user reviews, and the vetting process behind adding a new provider. She also breaks down the current legal landscape around compounded GLP-1s, which states are pushing legislation that could cut off access, and why that matters beyond just weight loss medication.  About Our Guest, Sabina Hemmi: Sabina Hemmi is the founder of GLP Winner (glpwinner.com), a platform built to help GLP-1 patients compare telehealth providers, understand pricing, and evaluate compounding pharmacies — all in one place.
