"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.

The difference between using GLP-1s for diabetes management versus weight loss.
How GLP-1 medications affect hunger cues, appetite, and "food noise."
