Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs: The science vs. the marketing with Dr. Rebecka Peebles and Nathalia Trees, RD
Q: What are the primary risks and who should be cautious with these medications?
Common risks include GI side effects, potential for weight suppression and muscle loss, and higher risk signals like rare eye or neurological issues; caution is particularly warranted in weight-centric goals or disordered eating histories.
GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs: The science vs. the marketing with Dr. Rebecka Peebles and Nathalia Trees, RD
Q: When did GLP-1s start appearing in your clinical work and how did that pattern emerge?
They emerged prominently during the last two to five years, especially after pediatric guidelines in 2023 expanded consideration for use in kids, with earlier use in diabetes also influencing their adoption.
Avoid burnout and say goodbye to toxic productivity with Israa Nasir, MHC-LP
Q: What is toxic productivity and how does Israa Nasir define it?
Toxic productivity is when actions are not aligned with your values and are driven by external validation; true productivity is meaningful and aligned with personal values.
What is 'intuitive eating'? And why you should try it with Eden Morris MS, RD, LD
Q: Why is the idea that intuitive eating means ignoring training needs a myth?
Because intuitive eating includes honoring hunger and fueling before, during, and after workouts; it emphasizes adequate energy and carbohydrates to support performance, not neglecting training needs.
Cannabis isn't what you think anymore with Dr. LaTisha Bader
Q: What is the best way to approach cannabis use for sleep and recovery?
Recognize that while cannabis can help with sleep latency, it may disrupt REM sleep and recovery; evaluate on an individual basis, monitor with wearables, and consider a controlled tolerance/withdrawal plan.
