Can Semaglutide and Intuitive Eating Coexist? with Holly Dykstra RDN
Manage episode 421726669 series 1319697
You’ve bravely stepped into the world of intuitive eating, leaving fad diets behind, and maybe even started working with a non-diet RD.
But now you (or someone you know) are feeling conflicted. GLP-1 meds (like Semaglutide, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Ozempic) seem like they could be a good fit. Whether for weight loss, managing pre-diabetes, or handling a condition like PCOS, you're curious but have questions like:
"Will I still fit into the intuitive eating community if I try GLP-1 meds?” and “Will this pull me back into dieting?"
That’s exactly what we’re covering in this episode. I’m joined by Holly Dykstra, RDN, an intuitive eating counselor, to cut through the social media noise and provide objective facts.
Listen in to learn:
- Is intuitive eating anti-weight loss?
- How GLP-1s work
- Possible GLP-1 side effects
- The importance of body autonomy and how to support someone on these meds, even if you don’t agree with their choice
