What Role Should GNC Play in the GLP-1 Movement? CEO Michael Costello and RD Rachel Jones Speak Out
This episode pulls back the curtain on how one of the biggest names in supplements is responding to the rise of GLP-1 medications—and what that means for our community. We sit down with GNC CEO Michael Costello and Registered Dietitian Rachel Kreider to talk about the shifting landscape of health and wellness, especially in the context of obesity care.
With GLP-1 medications changing the game, GNC is stepping up with a new line of supplements designed to help people stay on therapy longer by addressing common side effects like nausea and fatigue. But that’s just the beginning. We dig into how their backgrounds—one in science, the other in business—are shaping GNC’s modern approach to health, including their rigorous product vetting process and commitment to safety.
You'll also hear about GNC’s coaching model, which offers one-on-one support to those navigating GLP-1s or working on broader wellness goals. From high-protein, low-sugar snack options to supplements designed specifically for women in perimenopause, this episode is full of tips, tools, and insights for making your health journey sustainable.
We talk candidly about the supplement industry's reputation, how GNC is working to earn (or re-earn) your trust, and where they see their role in supporting chronic disease care going forward.
This is a must-listen for anyone curious about how supplements and pharmaceuticals can work together—and how to make informed choices in a world that’s finally starting to take obesity seriously.
