The Love, Food Podcast: Peace From Emotional Eating, Binge Eating, Eating Disorders, And Negative Body Image Through Intuitiv

In this conversation, Julie interviews Megan Hadley, a former pharmaceutical sales representative, about GLP-1 receptor agonists and their function in the body. Megan explains that GLP-1 receptor agonists work by increasing levels of GLP-1, a hormone that helps with insulin secretion and delays gastric emptying. She clarifies that these medications do not directly target fat cells and do not cause weight loss by melting fat away. Instead, they reduce appetite and food intake, leading to weight loss. Megan also discusses the potential side effects and challenges of using GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight management.Please follow us on TikTok and LinkedIn @FoodVoiceRD to keep up-to-date with our socials.Do you have a complicated relationship with food?
