New Episode on The Vida Vitality Podcast with Guest, Ashley Koff, RD
Weight loss isn’t the goal — weight health is. In this new episode of the Vida Vitality Podcast, Dr. Michelle Leary sits down with Ashley Koff, RD, USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot: The Personalized System for Optimal Weight Health―GLP-1 Shot or Not, to break down what’s actually happening in your gut when you’re on a GLP-1 agonist — and why digestion, not the injection, is the real foundation of lasting results.
Ashley has more than 25 years of clinical nutrition experience, founded The Better Nutrition Program, serves as nutrition course director for the UC Irvine Integrative Health Institute and Functional Medicine Fellowship, and sits on the board of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute alongside Dr. Leary.
In this conversation, she unpacks the physiology behind semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide, why she calls GLP-1s “the sprinkles, not the cake,” and the three free things anyone can do today to start optimizing their digestion and weight health.
