## Resource

Are GLP-1 medications the breakthrough solution for weight health—or are we missing the bigger picture? In this episode of The BeingBrigid Show, I sit down with Ashley Koff, RD, an internationally recognized registered dietitian and integrative nutrition expert, to unpack the real conversation around GLP-1s, food noise, blood sugar, hormones, and sustainable weight health. If you’ve ever wondered why calorie counting stopped working, why food noise feels relentless, or how GLP-1s actually work in the body, this episode will completely change how you think about weight, health, and metabolism. What You’ll Learn In This Episode: What GLP-1 medications actually do (and what they don’t) Why food noise is often driven by hormones, trauma, and chronic dieting The difference between weight loss and weight health How blood sugar and weight health hormones are deeply connected Why calorie counting often backfires—especially for women Potential side effects of GLP-1s that are often misunderstood When GLP-1s can be helpful—and when they can create new problems How to support hormone health, digestion, and metabolism with or without medication Why personalized nutrition coaching matters more than ever Whether you’re considering a GLP-1, already on one, or trying to improve your health without medication, this episode offers clarity, nuance, and a root-cause perspective every woman deserves.
