There’s a lot of medical information thrown around out there. How are you to know what information you can trust, and what’s just plain old quackery? You can’t rely on your own “google fu”. You can’t count on quality medical advice from Facebook. You need a doctor in your corner. On each episode of Your Doctor’s Orders, Dr. Terry Simpson will cut through the clutter and noise that always seems to follow the latest medical news. He has the unique perspective of a surgeon who has spent years doing molecular virology research and as a skeptic with academic credentials. He’ll help you develop the critical thinking skills so you can recognize evidence-based medicine, busting myths along the way. The most common medical myths are often disguised as seemingly harmless “food as medicine”. By offering their own brand of medicine via foods, These hucksters are trying to practice medicine without a license. And though they’ll claim “nutrition is not taught in medical schools”, it turns out that’s a myth too. In fact, there’s an entire medical subspecialty called Culinary Medicine, and Dr. Simpson is certified as a Culina…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-19T16:19:44.473681+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fork-u-with-dr-terry-simpson-940256"},"episode":{"title":"Being a Foodie on a GLP-1","slug":"being-a-foodie-on-a-glp-1","published_at":"2026-04-24T19:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fork-u-with-dr-terry-simpson-940256/being-a-foodie-on-a-glp-1","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fork-u-with-dr-terry-simpson-940256","url":"https://forku.com/episode/being-a-foodie-on-a-glp-1","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/4ced8584-3dc8-4bb3-a5d9-666af2fec632.mp3","summary":"Why GLP-1 Made Me Love Food More—Not Less From beetroot pasta to backyard salsa, this wasn’t about eating less. It was about finally tasting more. I want to tell you about two people on a GLP-1. First, there’s me. I’ve been on a maintenance dose—7.5 mg of Zepbound—for a while now. And recently, I went to an incredible Michelin-star restaurant. Now, at one point during that meal, I said something that surprised even me. The beetroot pasta was one of the best dishes I had ever tasted. Now, let’s pause there—because this matters. I don’t like beets. In fact, I’ve always said I hate beets. And yet, there I was, enjoying beetroot pasta. So what changed? Well, not my opinion of beets. But absolutely my appreciation of flavor. Then, Something Unexpected Happened During that same trip to Italy , I had one remarkable meal after another. For example, I ate at Ristorante Aroma, right next to the Colosseum.

However, I’ve been to Europe before. And yet, this time was different. Because this time, I didn’t just eat the food. Instead, I tasted it. Moreover, I slowed down. In addition, I noticed the precision. And perhaps most importantly, I appreciated the flavors. Before, I think I liked good food. Now, I actually understand it. But Then There’s My Friend On the other hand, there’s my friend. He’s also on a GLP-1. In fact, he weighs a bit less than I do. However, he told me something that stopped me in my tracks. “I don’t enjoy food anymore.” Now, that’s not discipline. And it’s certainly not success. Instead, that’s anhedonia . In his case, the dose was too high. As a result, appetite didn’t just quiet do…","meta_description":"Why GLP-1 Made Me Love Food More—Not Less From beetroot pasta to backyard salsa, this wasn’t about eating less.
