GLP-1 medications are everywhere in metabolic health conversations, but weight loss doesn’t equal metabolic restoration. Appetite suppression without strategy can compromise muscle, nutrient status, digestion, and long-term resilience.
In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie walks through a functional practitioner’s approach to GLP-1s, including how to protect lean mass, maintain nutrient density, optimize metabolic flexibility, and support digestion while using these medications. Learn why context matters more than the number on the scale and how to create a sustainable, clinically precise plan.
