You're already doing the basics of exercise and eating healthy.
But you're also not so sick you need the care of a doctor.

If you’re burned out on diets, confused by your symptoms, and tired of being told “everything looks normal,” this show is for you.
Hosted by functional nutritionists Andrew Hayes and Kat Best, we cover the health issues most people struggle with but rarely talk about. Gut problems. Hormone chaos. Fatigue. Cravings. Mood swings. The difference between sustainable fat loss and trendy weight loss. Irregular poops. (Yes, we said it.)
Each week, we give you the tools to actually feel better - without crash diets, supplements you don’t need, or 4AM workouts.
No shame. No perfection. Just more clarity, not more effort.

Are GLP1s a Fad or Are They Here to Stay? | Ep. 92
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We've been promised the "this changes everything" weight loss fix for 50 years straight — Fen-Phen, Hydroxycut, Atkins, Paleo, Keto, cleanses, apple cider vinegar, and now Ozempic and Zepbound. So Andrew and Kat dig into the question everyone's actually wondering: are GLP-1s different, or just the next name on that list?
Kat's been coaching people on GLP-1s for years now, and she's seen both sides up close - clients who finally build the habits they'd been avoiding for years, and clients eating 500-800 calories a day with wrecked relationships with food. They get into what the research actually says (not just what social media says): real cardiovascular and diabetes benefits, but also gut issues in over 80% of users, muscle and bone loss, hair shedding, and the fact that most people regain two-thirds of the weight within a year of stopping.
They also cover the FDA news that just dropped on compounded peptides, play a GLP-1 trivia round (do you know what percentage of Americans have actually tried one?), and land on the real question: is taking a GLP-1 "cheating," or is that even the right way to think about it.
04:15 — The FDA just voted to let pharmacies compound six new peptides
16:12 — What Kat sees every day coaching people who are on GLP-1s
24:19 — The real research: the benefits, the gut issues, and the muscle and bone loss nobody mentions
40:03 — Is a GLP-1 "cheating"? Kat's honest take
