The Case Specific Podcast

CGMs and GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but should everyone be using them? In this episode, Andrew Wade, registered dietitian and CEO of Case Specific Nutrition, is joined by Brad and Hillary, both registered dietitians and lead clinicians at their own offices, to break down the most common question they hear in practice: should non-diabetics get a CGM to improve their health?

Together, they explore how to interpret CGM data, the risks of chasing numbers without context, and what happens when "optimization" replaces foundational health behaviors. The conversation also covers the growing role of GLP-1 medications, recent updates around accessibility and pricing, and why cost reductions can be both a promising step forward and a potential risk depending on how these medications are used.

Brad and Hillary react to the explosion of GLP-1 content on social media, including patches, supplements, and "natural" protocols, and unpack ingredient obsessions like probiotics and Akkermansia. Through real client stories, they challenge weight loss expectations, highlight why eating more, building muscle, and fueling adequately can sometimes drive better results, and reinforce a core message from clinical practice: GLP-1s without lifestyle change are not the shortcut people hope they will be.

👉 If you have ever felt like your holiday eating patterns are "wrong," this episode is for you. In this episode, we walk through what real eating disorder recovery looks like over time and why progress is rarely linear.

We share a powerful client story that highlights long-term healing, patience, and what it means to experience true change after decades of disordered eating behaviors.

We also dive into seasonal eating patterns and movement changes. From more candy around Halloween to more cookies during the holidays and more movement in the summer, we explain why eating more or moving less at certain times of year is not a setback.

In this episode we break down eating disorder vs disordered eating in a way that helps you understand the disordered eating spectrum. We use real examples and common social media trends to show how disordered eating often hides in "normal" habits.

We also clear up the biggest nutrition myths that fuel disordered eating, including ingredient obsession, sugar fear, macro confusion, and the belief that fat makes you fat. You will learn why all edible food breaks down into the same three macronutrients, what your body actually recognizes, and how simplifying nutrition can transform your relationship with food.

Finally, we react to viral social media claims like fasting rules, feasting culture, food porn, and the question, "Do I really need to feel full at every meal?" If you want a grounded, science-backed conversation about eating disorder reality, disordered eating habits, and the nutrition truths lost in online noise, this episode is for you.

From gym myths to government policy—this week, Laura and Andrew tackle it all. 💪

We kick things off with one of the most common supplement questions: Should I be taking creatine? We break down how it works in your brain and muscles, whether you actually need it, and what the research says about dosage, hydration, and even sleep deprivation recovery.

Then, we dive into the growing obsession with ingredient-scanning apps like Yuka and Olive. Are they truly helping people make better food choices—or just fueling more food anxiety?

Next, Laura shares an incredible client story that reveals the emotional side of food, bingeing, and finding safety in eating. Plus, we end with a Scream from the Rooftops moment about what it really means to have a healthy relationship with food—because it's so much more than macros.

Finally, we wrap up with the latest updates from Make America Healthy Again (MAHA)—and why dietitians must have a seat at the policy table if we want lasting change in how Americans eat and live.
