In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed Registered Dietitian Summer Kessel, also known as @summerthedietitian on IG. We discussed:

• Summer's personal journey with weight loss while using a GLP-1 and becoming a Registered Dietitian who specializes in GLP-1 nutrition
• How GLP-1s act in the body
• The difference between cravings and food noise
• Nutrition guidelines to maximize muscle while losing body fat and minimizing side effects
• Resistance training guidelines while taking GLP-1 medications
• Why it's important to focus on body composition rather than the number on the scale or BMI
• Why appetite may increase for those exercising while taking a GLP-1
