GLP-1s are changing lives, but most people still don’t understand what they’re actually replacing. In this episode, Dietitian Ana Reisdorf talks with Ashley Koff, RD about the “weight health hormone” ecosystem behind GLP-1s: how digestion and hormone signaling connect, why one-size-fits-no-one advice (like “just eat more fiber”) can backfire, and what real maintenance can look like without turning it into another diet plan.
