22. Can I Still Work With You If I'm On a GLP-1?
"Can I still work with you if I'm on a GLP-1?" YES!
This episode discusses one of the most common questions people are asking right now about medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, and the answer is far more nuanced than a simple yes or no.
In this honest and compassionate conversation, we explore how GLP-1 medications fit into nutrition counseling, eating disorder recovery, body image healing, and a healthier relationship with food.
In this episode, you’ll hear about…
Why dietitians can still support clients who are taking GLP-1 medications.
The difference between using GLP-1s for diabetes management versus weight loss.
How GLP-1 medications affect hunger cues, appetite, and "food noise."
The connection between GLP-1s, chronic dieting, disordered eating, and eating disorder recovery.
Important questions to ask yourself before starting, continuing, or stopping a GLP-1 medication.
How to build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and your body, regardless of the medications you take
