In this episode of the GLP-1 Hub podcast, I interview Gretchen Zimmermann, a registered dietitian and VP of clinical strategy at Vida Health. We discuss the role of GLP-1 medications in diabetes and obesity management, the challenges of healthcare costs for employers, and the importance of personalized nutrition. Gretchen emphasizes the need for responsible prescribing and the role of registered dietitians in supporting patients on GLP-1 medications. The conversation also touches on the future of these medications and the importance of addressing health equity issues when it comes to access to these medications.
