Project Longevity Season 1 – Ep.5 - Ana Reisdorf


Listen Later

Host Caulen Foster sits down with Ana Reisdorf — registered dietitian and founder of GLP-1 Hub — to discuss the realities of GLP-1 medications, why nutrition and muscle matter more than the number on the scale, and how to lose weight in a way that actually supports long-term health. Drawing from her own experience as a GLP-1 user who "did everything wrong" the first time, Ana shares why under-eating backfires, how these medications change brain physiology rather than just shrinking the stomach, and what sustainable, lasting weight management really looks like.

About the Guest

Ana Reisdorf is a registered dietitian with nearly 20 years of experience and the founder of GLP-1 Hub, a trusted, science-backed resource for people navigating GLP-1 medications. After beginning her career in bariatric and gastric bypass preparation and later spending years in health and wellness content marketing, she now combines clinical expertise with her personal journey as a GLP-1 user — helping people pair smart nutrition with sustainable lifestyle change instead of obsessive tracking and quick fixes.
