Weight and weight loss is something that we have struggled to understand properly for decades. Whether its a fad diet, a new theory or an alternative approach, it's something we have been discussing and often misunderstanding, for many years.
With the introduction of GLP1s, this has only increased.
GLP-1 medications have changed the conversation around weight, appetite and health in a way few of us could have predicted. But what happens before you start, while you're on them, and after?
Dr Fede Amati, who has joined us on The Midpoint before, is a Medical Scientist and Registered Public Health Nutritionist who has been at the forefront of the research into how food and our bodies interact — and her brilliant new book tackles one of the most talked about topics in health right now.
In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down with Dr Amati for a conversation about what these medications actually do, why what you eat alongside them matters more than you might think, and how to build a relationship with food that serves you at every stage of life. No judgement, no fads — just really good science explained clearly.
Dr Fede Amati's new book, The Appetite Reset: How to Eat, Drink and Thrive Before, During and After GLP-1s, is published by Penguin Michael Joseph and is out now, priced £25.
