• The Importance of DEXA Scans for GLP-1 Users w/ Tony Orlando
    Jun 18 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Everyone on Ozempic worries about losing muscle, almost no one is watching their bones, and one in two women over 50 will fracture one.

    Registered dietitian Ana Reisdorf sits down with Tony Orlando, founder of DEXA Plus, to break down what a DEXA scan actually reveals about your body on a GLP-1: bone density, muscle, and the hidden visceral fat the scale will never show you. If you're losing weight on Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro, this is the metric that tells you whether you're doing it right — or quietly wrecking the muscle and bone you can't afford to lose.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    - What a DEXA scan measures (bone density, muscle, visceral fat) and why the scale lies when you're on a GLP-1
    - Why insurance won't pay for a DEXA until age 65 — and what it actually costs out of pocket
    - How rapid Ozempic and Wegovy weight loss can quietly drain your bone density
    - Visceral fat vs subcutaneous fat: the hidden fat around your organs tied to type 2 diabetes and heart disease
    - DEXA vs InBody and bioimpedance scales — why your body fat reading can swing 7+ points between them

    ABOUT THE GUEST
    Tony Orlando is the founder of DEXA Plus and a leading advocate for integrating precision health technology into modern healthcare and wellness practices. He works with medical providers, clinics, and performance facilities to implement DEXA scanning as a core tool for delivering accurate, actionable body composition data. Tony's focus is on helping providers move beyond the scale—giving their patients and clients real insight into fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolic health, especially in the context of GLP-1 therapies. His approach empowers professionals to use objective data to guide better decisions, improve outcomes, and create more personalized care. Through DEXA Plus, Tony is helping reshape how providers measure progress, turning weight loss from guesswork into something that can be clearly tracked, understood, and optimized.

  • GLP-1s and Diabetes: What's Different w/ Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDCES
    Jun 15 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    If you have diabetes and you're on a GLP-1, the rules are different, and one of them can land you in the ER. A 20-year diabetes specialist walks through it.

    Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDCES, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist who has been using GLP-1s with patients for blood sugar control long before they exploded for weight loss. They cover what diabetes patients need to do differently on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, how to tell a side effect apart from a dangerous drop in blood sugar, what protein and fiber actually need to look like on your plate, how to break a plateau, and the mindset shift Erin says separates the people who keep the weight off from the ones who don't.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    - Why GLP-1s were used for blood sugar regulation long before they became weight-loss household names
    - How to tell a GLP-1 side effect apart from a dangerous drop in blood sugar
    - The "balance plate" — protein, fiber, and slow-digesting carbs — and why it matters more than carb counting
    - Why most plateaus aren't actually plateaus, and the three things to look at when you're truly stuck
    - The mindset shift that separates people who keep the weight off from those who lose and regain

    ABOUT THE GUEST
    Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDCES is one of the most-quoted dietitians in the country and a sought-after speaker, spokesperson, and media source on nutrition and diabetes. She is the author of four books, including the bestselling 2 Day Diabetes Diet and Belly Fat Diet For Dummies, and has appeared on Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors, and QVC. Erin contributes regularly to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Parade Magazine, and USA Today named her TikTok one to follow for relatable nutrition advice.

  • Losing 370 Pounds on a GLP-1 w/ Jamie Selzler
    Jun 11 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Jamie Selzler weighed 652 pounds. Four years later, he's lost 370 on a GLP-1 without bariatric surgery. And the lesson he wants you to take has nothing to do with the scale.

    Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with Jamie Selzler, who has lost 370 pounds over four years on a GLP-1 with no surgery. They cover the airplane conversation with an endocrinologist that first opened the door, the three turning points in three weeks that finally made him act, the four mindset rules he developed along the way, how he rebuilt movement into his life from a starting point of needing a walker, and the message about self-worth he wants every person at the very beginning of their journey to hear.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    - The decades of failed dieting that came before — Slim-Fast, Atkins, Optifast, and a 100-pound regain
    - The three turning points in three weeks that pushed him to finally act
    - The four mindset rules that made this attempt different (and why motivation isn't one of them)
    - How he started movement at 550 pounds and now walks 12,000+ steps a day
    - The self-worth message he wants every person in the very beginning of their GLP-1 journey to hear

  • Busting 5 GLP-1 Myths w/ Christine Grant, NP
    Jun 8 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Higher dose isn't better. You're supposed to eat. And no, you don't have to be on Ozempic for life. A nurse practitioner who lost 90 pounds breaks down GLP-1 myths.

    Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with Christine Grant, NP, a nurse practitioner at Tyde Wellness and a GLP-1 user who has lost 90 pounds over the last two years. They work through the five myths Christine hears most often in clinic — the "easy way out" framing, the idea you shouldn't be hungry, the belief that higher doses work better, the safety panic, and the "on it for life" assumption — and what the reality actually looks like.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    - Why undereating on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound backfires — fatigue, hair loss, and muscle loss
    - The 0.5–2 lb per week sweet spot and why higher doses don't mean faster results
    - Microdosing for maintenance — what it looks like and who it works for
    - The cardiovascular case for staying on a GLP-1 long term
    - How to tell when your dose is actually too high (hint: it's not "I'm hungry sometimes")

    ABOUT THE GUEST
    Christine Grant is an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with clinical expertise in urgent care and telemedicine, dedicated to evidence-based, patient-centered care. She has a strong interest in wellness and innovative therapies, including peptide therapy, as tools to support energy, recovery, and overall well-being. As a mother of three boys, she understands the demands of balancing health, family, and career. Her personal experience with GLP-1s has strengthened her passion for helping others feel their best and live healthier lives.

  • The Truth About Tapering Off GLP-1s with Dr. William Summers
    Jun 4 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Most doctors say GLP-1s are for life. After 12+ years of prescribing Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound, this obesity medicine physician disagrees.

    Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with Dr. William Summers, an obesity medicine physician double board-certified in OB/GYN, who has been prescribing GLP-1s for over a decade and runs clinical trials on the next generation of these medications. They cover his actual tapering protocol, why real-world side effect rates run far below what the media reports, the one rare complication every patient needs to spot early, and why he believes we're only at the very beginning of what obesity medicine can do.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    - The 9-month tapering protocol for coming off Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound
    - Why media-reported GLP-1 side effect rates don't match what physicians see in clinic
    - Pancreatitis on GLP-1 medications — the early warning signs every patient should know
    - Why some people don't respond to Ozempic or Wegovy (cortisol, leptin, and genetics)

  • GLP-1s for Athletes w/ Umo Callins
    May 28 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Even elite athletes are on Ozempic - and how they fuel, train, and time their dose looks nothing like the standard GLP-1 advice.

    Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with Umo Callins, RDN, a board-certified sports dietitian and fitness coach with 15+ years working with athletes from recreational to elite. They cover what actually changes when active people go on Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro — fueling around training, dose timing in the off-season, strength training non-negotiables, creatine, HMB, and protecting muscle mass when your appetite collapses.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    - What Serena Williams' GLP-1 reveal changes about who these medications are for
    - How to fuel before, during, and after running and endurance training on Ozempic or Wegovy
    - Why competitive athletes should consider GLP-1s in the off-season, not during competition
    - The truth about electrolytes — and why "everyone on a GLP-1 needs them" doesn't hold up
    - Creatine and HMB for protecting muscle mass while losing weight on GLP-1 medications

    ABOUT THE GUEST

  • Why Fiber Matters as Much as Protein on GLP-1 w/ Barbara Ruhs
    May 25 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Fiber powders aren't fixing your GLP-1 constipation, but the fix might already be sitting in your produce drawer.

    Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD sits down with fellow registered dietitian Barbara Ruhs, nutrition lead for USA Pears, to unpack why fiber is the missing half of the GLP-1 conversation. They cover why protein gets all the attention while fiber drives the constipation, bloating, and between-meal hunger most people on Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro are dealing with — and why a whole-food approach beats the powder in your pantry.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    - Why fiber matters even more on Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro
    - The "fiber maxing" trend and why fiber powders can make constipation worse
    - Sorbitol explained: the natural sugar in pears that pulls water into your gut
    - Soluble vs insoluble fiber and why whole foods give you both
    - "Fiber layering" — a simple strategy to spread fiber across the day instead of dumping it in one meal
