BEYOND GLP-1
IT'S BEYOND THE FOOD PODCAST EXPERT SERIES
Stephanie Dodier Non-Diet Nutritionist and host of It's Beyond The Food podcast brings in weight neutral health experts to discuss various angle of GLP-1 that are not making the headlines: the science, the marketing, the side effects, the impact on body image, nutrition counseling, and what it all means for you and your clients.
GLP-1 is everywhere.
The full story isn't.
The great American GLP-1 experiment is upon us. Headlines are everywhere. And the pressure on practitioners and patients alike is real. But most of what's circulating is marketing dressed as medicine. The story are incomplete. The long-term data doesn't exist yet. And the psychological and relational dimensions of these drugs are barely being discussed.
Whatever you are, health professional, navigating these conversation in your practice, or someone personally researching your decision, this series is for you.
1
People are making permanent decisions on incomplete information
GLP-1 drugs are being positioned as a breakthrough. But breakthrough for whom, under what conditions, at what cost those questions aren't making the press release.
2
Health professionals are navigating this without a roadmap
Clients are asking. Colleagues are recommending. And practitioners trained in weight-neutral care are caught between their ethics and a culture moving fast in the opposite direction.
3
No one is telling the full story
Not the science. Not the marketing machine behind it. Not the mental health fallout, the nutritional consequences, or what it means for a field that has spent decades moving away from weight-centric care.

EPISODE 468
Beyond GLP-1: A Triumph of Marketing Over Patient Care with Louise Adams
The drugs have been sold as a miracle. The science has been quietly shaped by the companies profiting from them. And the deaths are not yet being called a scandal.
Clinical psychologist Louise Adams co-authored a paper that has already been read more than 7,500 times in its first ten days. She joins me to trace the three-pronged pharmaceutical marketing strategy behind GLP-1 drugs, follow the money through conflict-of-interest research, celebrity spokespeople, and government lobbying, and tell us what real informed consent would actually require.

Beyond GLP-1: Can Intuitive Eating and GLP-1 Co-exist? with Sam Previte
Your clients are going to bring GLP-1 into the room whether you are ready or not. The only question is whether you have a clinical framework for it.
In this episode, I sit down with Sam Previte — registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and founder of Find Food Freedom. We go through what this intersection actually looks like clinically: how GLP-1 affects hunger, fullness, satisfaction, food noise, and body image — and what weight-neutral coaching looks like inside all of it. Sam's team is already seeing the first wave of clients coming off these medications. The work you do with clients now determines what happens when they do.

Deep Dive Into Weight Stigma in the GLP-1 Era with Dr. Angela Meadows

She has spent her career studying how weight stigma operates at the individual, relational, and systemic level. In this conversation, she brings her research lens directly to the GLP-1 moment.
