Heidi Skolnik: What No One Tells You About GLP-1s

GLP-1s are everywhere—but are we talking enough about what happens to our nutrition, muscle, and strength while we’re taking them? We had such a great conversation with nutritionist and exercise physiologist Heidi Skolnik, author of the new book *Your GLP-1 Game Plan: What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You About How to Eat, Move, and Thrive on Weight Loss Medications.* We talked about what we should actually be eating, why protein and muscle matter so much as we age, and how to use GLP-1s without forgetting about the health of the body underneath the weight loss. Whether you’re taking a GLP-1, considering one, or simply want to know how to stay strong and healthy as you get older, there is so much good information here. And, as always, we asked the questions we wanted answered too. Watch the conversation and let us know what surprised you—or what you still want to know. * * * Hosted on Acast.

Phyllis’s Weight and Workout Concerns0:33 – 4:05

Susan FeldmanHost

0:33

So Phyllis, how are you

Phyllis BergerHost

0:35

today? You know, I'm okay, actually.

Phyllis BergerHost

0:38

But...

Phyllis BergerHost

0:40

There's something I noticed and sort of leads into kind of what we're going to be talking about today.

Phyllis BergerHost

0:45

So people who listen to us or friends who listen to me know that I've been on GLP-1s for, you know, I don't know, a year and a half, two years.

Phyllis BergerHost

0:53

I don't even know anymore how long it's been.

Phyllis BergerHost

0:54

You're like

Susan FeldmanHost

0:54

a shrinking violet.

Phyllis BergerHost

0:55

Well, no, you know, what's happened is, you know, I got to a weight I was happy with and whatever.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:00

And I've noticed over the past several weeks, because I do weigh myself every day.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:04

We can talk about that another time.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:06

That's a whole other episode.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:07

I kind of feel the need for that.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:09

But anyway, I weigh myself every day.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:11

And I've noticed that in the past couple of weeks or whatever, I sort of lost a little bit of weight, inadvertently not wanting to.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:18

I mean, definitely not wanting to.

Susan FeldmanHost

1:20

You've been kind of stressed.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:22

I have a lot of stresses.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:23

This is true.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:24

But I do think it's because of injuries and the schedule of the person that I work out with versus my schedule.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:33

But Mainly injuries.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:35

I haven't worked out with weights for a few months now.

Phyllis BergerHost

1:39

And I really think that it's muscle loss that's causing the weight loss, not anything good.

Susan FeldmanHost

1:44

Yeah.

Susan FeldmanHost

1:44

That's interesting because it's funny.
