The Whole You Podcast

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, and I get asked about them all the time. So, I’m finally sharing my thoughts! In this episode, we’re talking about the pros, the concerns, who I think they may be a good fit for, and the steps I would recommend if you decide to use one. I’ll also share how I approach weight loss resistance in my own practice and why I don’t think GLP-1s are simply “good” or “bad.”

Bone health probably isn't something you think about every day, but after 40, it deserves more attention. In this episode, I'm sharing why bone health matters, how a DEXA scan can help you understand your bone density, and what you can do now to protect your bones for the years ahead. We'll talk about why bone health is about so much more than calcium, including the role of key vitamins and minerals, protein, walking, and strength training. I'll also share a simple supplement stack and practical ways to put what you learn into action. Because when it comes to bone health, being proactive now can make a big difference later.

Have you ever been told your labs are "normal," but you still don't feel like yourself?

If you've ever felt like you've tried everything and still don't have answers, this episode is for you.
