In this episode, I sit down with Amy, a dietitian who has dedicated her career to supporting people living with obesity — especially those using GLP-1 medications. Amy shares how her work has evolved from studying bariatric surgery in Sweden to helping patients in the U.S. navigate nutrition, side effects, and realistic habits while on treatment.We dive into what personalized obesity care really looks like: the balance between protein, fiber, and fullness; how to spot when weight loss is happening too quickly; and why sustainable change often comes from simple shifts rather than perfection. Amy offers practical tools for everyday life — from “snacky meals” to hydration strategies, colorful plates, and building meals that support both muscle and metabolism.A grounded, honest conversation with a dietitian who truly understands the biology, the behavior, and the lived experience behind obesity care.This podcast shares lived experiences and opinions.
