Oral Wegovy is making headlines, but the most important details are being overlooked. In this episode, join Dietitian and GLP-1 user Ana Reisdorf and integrative medicine physician Dr. William Haas as they discuss why earlier GLP-1 pills failed, what finally changed to make oral Wegovy effective, and why this option isn’t automatically easier, or better, than injections. From dosing and absorption to side effects, muscle loss, and misuse concerns, this conversation breaks down who should consider the GLP-1 pill, and who should pause before making the switch.

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.

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.

This is the last episode in Season 1 of the GLP-1 Hub Podcast. Join us in 2026 for new episodes with more guests, information, and support for your personal journey! Happy Holidays!
