Episode 156 — Debunking Nutrition Trends: Fasting, Gut Health, and GLP-1 Supplements
Confused by all the nutrition trends on your social feed? In this episode, we’re breaking down three of the biggest ones — fasting, gut health, and GLP-1 supplements — so you can separate fact from marketing hype.
You’ll learn:
→ What the research really says about fasting for weight loss and who should (and shouldn’t) try it → The truth about gut health — what actually supports it (hint: it’s simpler than you think) → Why “GLP-1 support” supplements and powders might be more marketing than science
By the end, you’ll feel confident knowing what’s actually worth your time, energy, and money when it comes to sustainable nutrition and weight loss.

Significant weight loss can be life-changing for your health—but it can also lead to changes in facial volume, skin laxity, and the way we see ourselves in the mirror.
