Even elite athletes are on Ozempic - and how they fuel, train, and time their dose looks nothing like the standard GLP-1 advice.
Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with Umo Callins, RDN, a board-certified sports dietitian and fitness coach with 15+ years working with athletes from recreational to elite. They cover what actually changes when active people go on Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro — fueling around training, dose timing in the off-season, strength training non-negotiables, creatine, HMB, and protecting muscle mass when your appetite collapses.
IN THIS EPISODE
- What Serena Williams' GLP-1 reveal changes about who these medications are for
- How to fuel before, during, and after running and endurance training on Ozempic or Wegovy
- Why competitive athletes should consider GLP-1s in the off-season, not during competition
- The truth about electrolytes — and why "everyone on a GLP-1 needs them" doesn't hold up
- Creatine and HMB for protecting muscle mass while losing weight on GLP-1 medications
