This episode is required listening for anyone curious about how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Trulicity, and Wegovy affect running and the ability to train for races. The guest, sports dietitian and 18x-marathoner Meghann Featherstun of Featherstone Nutrition, talks with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin, about: 
-how GLP-1 agonists work on various parts of the body;
-how to “eat around” these drugs to fuel (+ refuel) runs;
-balancing carbs and proteins given reduced appetite; 
-concerns about runners using these Rx’s for “vanity” weight loss; and,
-whether you can train for a marathon while on these drugs.
