    In this episode, we speak to Gianna Beasley, RD, the author of her new book, The GLP1 Solution. Her book provides a comprehensive guide to navigating obesity management with GLP-1 medications, extending beyond basic diet and exercise. We chat about Gianna's personal struggles with weight, and the transformative role of GLP-1s in her journey. We will learn practical insights necessary for success by taking a deep dive into nutrition, specific food recommendations for success and the importance of macros (macronutrients). We also chat about movement, physical activity, mental health, grounding, and surprising lifestyle changes that are small, but make a big difference.

    We also discuss managing side effects, and alleviating common gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, lethargy, aversion), and the importance of incorporating high quality vitamin supplements, omega-3s, and essential minerals like magnesium. This holistic approach ensures listeners are well-equipped to manage their physical and mental health throughout their GLP-1 journey.
