In this must-hear follow-up episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her conversation with physician, author, and obesity medicine expert Dr. Adrienne Youdim for a deep and honest look at what happens after GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy.

If you’re using or considering these medications—or if you're worried about what might happen if access disappears—this episode is for you.

Dr. Youdim brings clarity to a growing problem: people losing weight through GLP-1s without building sustainable habits in nutrition, movement, and mindset. She warns that while these medications are powerful tools, relying on them without behavior change can lead to serious long-term consequences like muscle loss, poor body composition, and difficulty maintaining weight if insurance or access changes.

This episode dives into the science behind hunger hormones, what the body truly needs during weight loss, and how to tap into your own biology and intuition to create real, lasting change.

Topics covered include:

  • What GLP-1 medications actually do in the body
  • Why losing weight too fast without proper nutrition can increase body fat percentage
  • The silent risk of losing muscle while appearing “successful” on the scale
  • The rising trend of disordered eating and confusion on compounded GLP-1s
  • What patients should do before losing access to medication
  • How to activate your body’s own GLP-1 through sleep, exercise, fiber, and protein
  • Why emotional hunger is often mistaken for physical hunger
  • What diet culture gets wrong about carbs and “quick fixes”
  • How to quiet food noise and identify what you’re really hungry for

Dr. Youdim also offers guidance on navigating the shifting insurance landscape, finding safe alternatives if GLP-1s become inaccessible, and why integrated care—from physicians to dietitians to therapists—is key to successful, whole-person weight management.

Whether you're using medication or not, this episode is packed with insight, empathy, and real tools for creating a relationship with your body rooted in nourishment—not numbers.
