Q: How do GLP-1 weight-loss therapies fit with Culina Health's approach, and what is the future of nutrition care with AI and data tracking?
GLP-1s have a role but must be integrated with dietitians to maximize efficacy; AI and data tracking can personalize care, improve outcomes, and help health systems deliver effective nutrition guidance alongside pharmacotherapy.

Debunking Head Lice Myths with Amy Chinian
Q: Do head lice jump from person to person, or is transmission different?
Lice don't jump; they crawl and require hair-to-hair contact or shared personal items for transfer, which is why close contact and sharing objects are risk factors.
