Digestive enzymes, magnesium and motility

Weight loss has become a race to get smaller, even when the body is clearly breaking down in the process. The surprise is that a lot of people lose weight and end up more fatigued, under muscled, and metabolically worse off than when they started.

We dive deeper into this topic in the latest Habits & Hustle episode with Ashley Koff. We also chat about why GLP-1s make people skinny but not necessarily healthy, why weight often comes back after stopping GLP-1s, and why not eating enough while on these medications is one of the biggest mistakes people make.

Ashley Koff, RD is a registered dietitian, founder of The Better Nutrition Program, and a clinician with over 25 years of experience in personalized nutrition. She is the USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot (HarperOne) and founder of The Better Nutrition Program (BNP), and has been recognized as one of CNN’s Top 100 Health Makers.
