GLP-1 Side Effects Aren't Inevitable: How to Avoid Them (with Dr. Matthea Rentea)

What if I told you that the side effects of nausea, constipation, muscle loss AND burnout on GLP-1s are not inevitable? That in many cases, they're simply a sign the medication is being used the wrong way?

In this week's episode of The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Matthea Rentea—a double board-certified obesity medicine physician who is quietly revolutionizing how GLP-1s are used in clinical practice. This is one of the most nuanced, compassionate and empowering conversations we've had about how using GLP-1 medications can be part of a true healing journey—not a crash-and-burn weight loss strategy.
