#612: GLP Knowledge - Are They Your Best Shot? With Ashley Koff

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Ashley Koff, registered dietitian, USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot, and founder of the Better Nutrition Program, for a conversation I've wanted to have for a long time. Not another "are GLP-1s good or bad" debate, but a real dive into the science, the nuance, and the questions I don't think enough of us are asking before starting one of these medications.

In this episode we cover:

Why GLP-1 and GIP are "weight health hormones," not just weight-loss drugs

The receptor-site "garage" analogy that finally made hormone signaling click for me

Why muscle loss on these medications is a red flag, not a badge of honor

The digestive-health foundation Ashley says nobody skips without consequences

Why HRT and GLP-1s are showing up together in new research, and what that combination might mean for women in perimenopause

The real reasons people come off these medications

Why Ashley says walk away from anyone selling a hormone (any hormone) as "the solution"

Let's dive in!
