In today's episode of The Root Cause Medicine Podcast, Dr. Kate Kresge sits down with Ashley Koff, RD, CEO and Founder of The Better Nutrition Program, to explore the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) in health and wellness. 

You'll hear them discuss:

• How GLP-1 receptor agonists may support metabolic health when used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
• The role of SPMs in supporting the body's natural inflammatory response and recovery processes.
