Today on the root cause medicine podcast. It's important for us to look at that and to say to someone,

hey, how you feel, if you literally have never felt full, then my as a society having told you to

eat until you're 80% full is literally like, go chase a rainbow. Like we have no idea. Like you

don't know what that destination point is. So you can't figure out no idea. Like, you don't know what that destination point is,

so you can't figure out what 80% of something you don't know what it feels like is, you know,

on that part. If somebody needs this tool and this tool is actually part of what helps them,

then our job is to personalize their nutrition and their medicine to make sure that we

reduce the risk of negative side effects and we continue

to use that tool to optimize. So anyway, that's the two worlds pulling part of the difference

between how we need everybody needs switch optimization. That should be a part of metabolic health.

Whether or not we use a tool like a GLP1 agonist is going to depend on where their switch is today,

what kind of dysfunction, and what support they need as we move it along.

It's a cool process of something we all need to be practicing, and labs play a critical role

in doing it today.

Well, hello there. I'm Dr. Kate Kreske, and today we're talking about two new interventions

in the field of personalized nutrition, GLP-1s and SPMs. Are they part of a function

medicine approach? And how would you use them in a clinic that emphasizes foodist medicine?

Well, Ashley Koff is the expert who has the answers. She's a registered dietitian with over 25

years of experience, the founder of the Better Nutrition Program, and the nutrition director for the UCI Fellowship in Integrative and Functional Medicine.

Ashley's going to walk us through how to optimize your own inner GLP1 production, the helpful role that these medications should play, and the best way to use food and exercise to optimize them and prevent side effects.

She's also going to talk to us about SPMs, something called specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators.

Now, are they the new omega-3s? Are they better than fish oil? Stay tuned to find out.
