Summary

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are often talked about as weight-loss drugs, but the science is revealing a much bigger story. In the first of this two-part discussion, Stacy welcomes back clinical nutritionist and author Jessica Brown to explore what research is actually showing about GLP-1 medications and whole-body health. They unpack emerging science around inflammation, immune regulation, metabolic health, and gut function, and why these medications may impact far more than weight. Stacy shares her own experience starting a GLP-1 medication and the mindset shift that comes with re-examining long-held beliefs about diet culture, intuitive eating, and health.
