GLP-1s are changing lives, but most people still don’t understand what they’re actually replacing. In this episode, Dietitian Ana Reisdorf talks with Ashley Koff, RD about the “weight health hormone” ecosystem behind GLP-1s: how digestion and hormone signaling connect, why one-size-fits-no-one advice (like “just eat more fiber”) can backfire, and what real maintenance can look like without turning it into another diet plan.

A practitioner for over 25 years, Koff is leading a transformative movement in personalized nutrition, turning “better, not perfect” choices into practical, sustainable strategies that deliver real health outcomes.

Best foods to eat on GLP-1 Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy Diet Dec 22, 2025

On GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound, eating less means every bite matters. In this episode, registered dietitian Ana Reisdorf explains why side effects like constipation, fatigue, and muscle loss aren’t caused by the medication, but by what you’re not eating. She challenges the protein-only mindset, reveals the most overlooked nutrient on GLP-1s, and shares a simple framework for building meals that actually support fat loss and long-term health. If you want better results without feeling miserable, this episode changes how you think about food on GLP-1.
