If your GLP-1 has quieted more than food noise, this episode will help you understand why. Ana sits down with Dr. Steven Klein, addiction medicine physician at Caron Treatment Centers, PhD in human genetics, person in long-term recovery, and long-term GLP-1 user, to unpack how GLP-1 medications may reduce cravings beyond food.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why food noise and addiction cravings can come from the same brain circuitry
• How GLP-1s may reduce alcohol, opioid, and other compulsive urges
• Whether these medications blunt pleasure or simply reduce obsession
• Why low-dose treatment may still help with cravings
• What habits, support, and recovery tools still matter on or off medication
• How genetics, epigenetics, and chronic stress may influence addiction risk
• Where someone can start if they need help for addiction

GLP-1 medications can be life-changing, but rapid weight loss can also mean losing muscle if you are not actively protecting it. In this episode, Ana Reisdorf sits down with registered dietitian Jennifer Scheinman to talk about why muscle strength matters just as much as muscle mass, how mitochondria influence energy, mobility, and healthy aging, and what GLP-1 users can do right now to support muscle with a balanced diet, enough protein, exercise, and smart supplementation. They also break down the emerging research on urolithin A, including how it may support mitochondrial recycling and muscle strength, why that matters for fatigue and long-term function, and where it may fit into a practical GLP-1 lifestyle.

About Our Guest:

Fat is one of the most misunderstood macronutrients, and when you're eating less on a GLP-1, choosing the right fats matters more than ever. In this episode, Ana sits down with Dr. Renee Korczak, PhD, RDN, to cut through the noise around dietary fats. They cover the four main types of fat, why unsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs) should make up the bulk of what you eat, how to handle the protein-plus-saturated-fat challenge on a GLP-1, where omega-3s fit in, and how to approach the micronutrient deficiencies GLP-1 users are increasingly running into. They also tackle the beef tallow trend head-on and make a strong case for why the low-fat era of the 90s was both wrong and unforgettable. If you've been unsure whether to count fat, fear fat, or just eat the avocado, this episode gives you a practical, science-backed framework you can actually use.

About Our Guest:
Dr. Renee Korczak is an advanced practice registered dietitian nutritionist with a PhD in human nutrition from the University of Minnesota. She specializes in translating complex nutrition science into clear, actionable guidance for consumers and health professionals.
