In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I am speaking with Dr. Eric Williamson to talk all things GLP1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Zepbound.. Eric is a fellow registered dietitian specializing in fitness, performance and longevity, with a PhD that focused on the intersection of exercise nutrition and metabolic health. He’s also the director of nutrition at Canyon Ranch wellness resorts and has been a key scientific advisor for my supplement brand, neue theory. In today’s episode, Eric and I talking about weight loss success rates on GLP1s vs lifestyle and other medications. We talk about the impact of ozempic on food noise and food reward systems in the brain. We also talk about major nutrition risks while taking a GLP1 RA and how to prevent muscle loss (including how much protein you need and the key supplements to use). We discuss side effects like constipation and nausea and what to do about them from a nutrition perspective. Eric and I also talk about what happens when you come off Ozempic (and how to prevent weight regain). And we finish with a discussion on stigma over these drugs and some of the unexpected very pleasant benefits beyond weight loss.
