In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of the most talked about topics right now, weight loss drugs and GLP-1 medications. I’m joined by my guest, clinical nutritionist and strength coach Kim Knauf, to help break this down in a clear, realistic, and informative way.

We talk about what GLP-1 drugs are, why they were developed, and the different categories that exist today. We explain how these medications work in the body, including the gut brain connection and how appetite, digestion, blood sugar, and hormones are affected.

We also cover what actually matters if someone is using these medications, like prioritizing protein, resistance training, supporting digestion with fiber and hydration, and building sustainable habits around sleep, movement, and stress management. This is not about quick fixes, but about understanding how lifestyle, nutrition, and daily routines still play a major role.

In this conversation, we discuss potential risks, long term considerations, other possible benefits beyond weight loss, and ways to reduce the chance of regaining weight after stopping medication. We also talk about how food, nutrition, and healthy habits can naturally support GLP-1 in the body.

This episode is meant to educate and empower you with information so you can have better conversations with your healthcare provider and make informed decisions that feel right for you.
