Summary

In this conversation, Julie interviews Megan Hadley, a former pharmaceutical sales representative, about GLP-1 receptor agonists and their function in the body. Megan explains that GLP-1 receptor agonists work by increasing levels of GLP-1, a hormone that helps with insulin secretion and delays gastric emptying. She clarifies that these medications do not directly target fat cells and do not cause weight loss by melting fat away. Instead, they reduce appetite and food intake, leading to weight loss. Megan also discusses the potential side effects and challenges of using GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight management.

0:00.0	Hey there, welcome to episode 379 of the Find Your Food Voice podcast.
0:04.9	I am your host, Julie Duffy Dillon, and I'm also a registered dietitian, and I'm going to be
0:10.6	talking to you today another registered dietitian.
0:14.0	She's actually someone that is local to me in my teeny, tiny, wonderful town, and we are two dietitians that have collaborated a lot over
0:24.5	the years. And if you do any kind of non-diet work, you tend to gravitate towards other people
0:32.2	doing the same because it can be really draining, right, to do this type of work that is
0:36.4	countercultural.
0:44.1	So I encourage you to find your supports, but I called Megan to go through some of the technical sides of GLP ones.
0:45.8	If you're wondering why I'm talking about GLP ones, well, this all started when a local colleague
0:51.0	of ours, their name is Jesse Spence, reached out to me to have a conversation
0:56.3	about their personal experience using a GLP1, specifically Uzmpic, and just like how it's
1:03.7	been feeling and, yeah, just the experience that they're getting and sometimes not the support
1:10.0	that they need within the
1:12.5	non-diet, anti-diet community. So if you are someone that is maybe thinking about, trying one,
1:20.0	just starting to kind of think about it, and you're also rejecting diets or recovering from
1:25.2	an eating disorder, we hope that these episodes help you to
1:29.1	discern your next best steps. And this episode today in particular, I hope it is very practical
1:35.3	for you. It helps you to better understand just the physiology, the nuts and bolts about
1:41.3	GLP ones in general. So we are going to hear from Megan after a very quick sponsor break.
1:48.2	We'll be right back.
1:50.2	Welcome back.
1:51.4	Hey, Megan.
