Summary

Oh boy… Erin is FINALLY having an unfiltered GLP-1 conversation with the person she wanted to have it with first: Jessica Brown, a clinical nutritionist, Stanford-trained teacher, founder of the GLP-1 Nutrition Academy, author of The Loving Diet and Beyond the Shot, and one of Erin’s longtime mentors.

This is not a “GLP-1s are good” or “GLP-1s are bad” episode. It’s the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide, what “microdosing” means, and why these medications are being studied for so much more than weight loss. Erin and Jessica also talk about identity, worthiness, body positivity, and the role of social media influencers when it comes to GLP-1s.

In this episode:

Why Jessica believes GLP-1s could become one of the biggest disruptions in modern healthcare
Erin’s thoughts on influencers, GLP-1s, and the pressure to maintain a certain identity online
How AI is impacting lab analysis and why consciousness matters (it’s AI-proof!)
Why GLP-1s are not powerful enough to change your beliefs about worthiness and identity
What practitioners NEED to know as GLP-1s and metabolic health reshape the future of functional medicine
