241. Do GLP-1s negatively impact your nutrition quality?


Listen Later

There’s a lot of buzz right now about GLP-1 drugs and nutrition gaps, with headlines making it sound confusing or extreme.


In this episode, Coach JK clears the noise and breaks it down: Eating less doesn’t automatically mean eating well. Whether you’re on a GLP-1 or not, the real issue is food quality.


JK explains what recent research is really saying, why it mirrors the same problems seen in the Standard American Diet, and how to avoid falling into the trap of restriction without nourishment.


You’ll walk away with a simple, grounded understanding of why nutrients matter just as much as calories, and what to focus on to support long-term health.
