The Sustainable Way to Do GLP-1s (with Melissa Mitri)

Millions of women are discovering the benefits of GLP-1 medications, but lasting results require more than simply eating less.

In this episode, Elizabeth welcomes registered dietitian Melissa Mitri, who has spent nearly two decades helping clients achieve sustainable weight loss through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Melissa explains why GLP-1 medications work best when paired with healthy habits, proper nourishment, exercise and a long-term mindset.

Together, they explore how to naturally stimulate the body's own GLP-1 production, build a foundation for success before starting the medication, preserve muscle and metabolic health during weight loss, and successfully transition off GLP-1s when the time comes.
