Tara Schmidt, M.Ed., RDN, LD is the lead dietitian for the Mayo Clinic Diet, host of the Mayo Clinic On Nutrition podcast, and Medical Editor of the Nutrition & Fitness channel.

Today she joins me for a holistic, evidence-based conversation about GLP-1s, where we cut through the misinformation around these drugs and offer information you can really trust.

If you’re already taking Ozempic or Wegovy, you want to start so you can lose weight, or maybe your doctor’s recommending it — this episode is for you.

We discuss:

What GLP-1s are and how they work
The place of medication and are these long term drugs?
Micro-dosing and low-dosing GLP-1s
Which doctors should be prescribing metabolic drugs
Regenerative healing from GLP-1s
The causes of food noise
Hunger vs appetite
The triggers for emotional eating
Why eating for comfort makes sense
Reclaiming your agency so you want to change (rather than feeling like you “should”)
