Send us Fan MailYour GLP-1 doesn't clear glucose, your muscles do. Which means strength training isn't just protecting your body on Ozempic, it's making the medication work better.Registered dietitian Ana Reisdorf talks with Claudia Dzina, a certified personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist who trains women on GLP-1 medications one-on-one over Zoom. They cover why you don't have to lift heavier and heavier to get stronger, the warning signs your tendons can't keep up with your muscles, and exactly where to start if you've never worked out a day in your life — without burning out, getting hurt, or quitting after a few weeks.IN THIS EPISODE- Why muscle is the body's largest glucose sink and how it makes your GLP-1 work better- Strength training vs cardio on a GLP-1: which to choose when you only have time for one- The warning signs your tendons and ligaments can't keep up with your muscles- Progressive overload without lifting heavier — why mechanical tension matters more than load- Where to start strength training if you've never exercised, plus the three planes of motionABOUT THE GUESTClaudia Dzina is an online personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, and Pilates instructor. She works one-on-one with women who are using GLP-1 medications through live Zoom sessions, so they can train from home (or wherever they choose). Most of the women she works with are brand new to exercise and are trying to build strength while their bodies are changing pretty quickly. Her approach is structured and progressive — building real strength, but in a way the body can actually keep up with, so clients don't burn out, get hurt, or quit after a few weeks. Her training style focuses on how the body adapts during change: the nervous system, muscle, and connective tissue all respond differently, so she paces things in a way that allows clients to keep going and eventually handle more.CONNECT WITH CLAUDIAWebsite: https://www.seventhremedy.comQ&A: https://seventhremedy.com/the-only-glp-1-personal-trainer/#trainingquestions Freebies: https://seventhremedy.com/fitness-nutrition-facts/Training Info Page: https://seventhremedy.com/exercise-on-ozempic/SPONSORTimeline (Mitopure) — clinically studied Urolithin A that supports mitochondrial renewal and muscle strength during midlife and GLP-1 weight loss.http://timeline.com/glp1hub for 20% off (now starting at $79)CHAPTERS00:00  The muscle-glucose connection no one explains01:56  Who Claudia trains and how it works03:07  Why strength training matters on a GLP-104:17  Strength vs cardio: which wins06:08  The real reasons women don't start09:39  When your tendons can't keep up16:13  The "lift heavier" myth, debunked18:38  Train your whole body in three planes24:13  The non-negotiable: stretching and mobility27:33  What to eat to actually build strengthMORE FROM GLP-1 HUB📬 Get The Steady State, Ana's weekly newsletter with GLP-1 guidance from a dietitian who's on one: http://join.glp-1hub.com🎙 Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and if this episode helped, leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify - it's the single best way to help more people find the show.🌐 Shop GLP-1 essentials, meal plans, and recipes: https://shop.glp-1hub.com📷 Follow on Instagram: @glp1hub📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLP-1hub*Some of the links shared are affiliate links.

Send us Fan MailEveryone on Ozempic worries about losing muscle, almost no one is watching their bones, and one in two women over 50 will fracture one.Registered dietitian Ana Reisdorf sits down with Tony Orlando, founder of DEXA Plus, to break down what a DEXA scan actually reveals about your body on a GLP-1: bone density, muscle, and the hidden visceral fat the scale will never show you. If you're losing weight on Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro, this is the metric that tells you whether you're doing it right — or quietly wrecking the muscle and bone you can't afford to lose.IN THIS EPISODE- What a DEXA scan measures (bone density, muscle, visceral fat) and why the scale lies when you're on a GLP-1- Why insurance won't pay for a DEXA until age 65 — and what it actually costs out of pocket- How rapid Ozempic and Wegovy weight loss can quietly drain your bone density- Visceral fat vs subcutaneous fat: the hidden fat around your organs tied to type 2 diabetes and heart disease- DEXA vs InBody and bioimpedance scales — why your body fat reading can swing 7+ points between themABOUT THE GUESTTony Orlando is the founder of DEXA Plus and a leading advocate for integrating precision health technology into modern healthcare and wellness practices. He works with medical providers, clinics, and performance facilities to implement DEXA scanning as a core tool for delivering accurate, actionable body composition data. Tony's focus is on helping providers move beyond the scale—giving their patients and clients real insight into fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolic health, especially in the context of GLP-1 therapies. His approach empowers professionals to use objective data to guide better decisions, improve outcomes, and create more personalized care. Through DEXA Plus, Tony is helping reshape how providers measure progress, turning weight loss from guesswork into something that can be clearly tracked, understood, and optimized.CONNECT WITH TONYWebsite: https://www.dexaplus.comFind a provider: https://www.dexascan.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyorlando.dexaguru/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dexaplus3583SPONSORTyde Wellness — GLP-1 care done right: licensed providers who adjust your dosing as your body changes, plus a real care team you can message when you plateau.http://tydewellness.com/GLP1Hub — code GLP1Hub50 for $50 off your first monthCHAPTERS00:00  The warning no one gives GLP-1 users01:58  Meet Tony & what a DEXA really measures04:06  Why insurance won't cover it until 6506:16  What a DEXA costs out of pocket12:05  The hidden toxic fat around your organs13:33  Protecting your bones on a GLP-120:20  DEXA vs InBody: why the numbers don't match24:51  The protocol every GLP-1 user needs27:11  VO2 max, RMR & the markers that matter30:04  Where health and longevity are headedMORE FROM GLP-1 HUB📬 Get The Steady State, Ana's weekly newsletter with GLP-1 guidance from a dietitian who's on one: http://join.glp-1hub.com🎙 Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and if this episode helped, leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify - it's the single best way to help more people find the show.🌐 Shop GLP-1 essentials, meal plans, and recipes: https://shop.glp-1hub.com📷 Follow on Instagram: @glp1hub📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLP-1hub*Some of the links shared are affiliate links.

Sabina Hemmi has been on a GLP-1 for over three years, lost 60 pounds, dealt with nearly every side effect in the book, and turned her frustration with the provider landscape into a full platform to help others avoid the confusion she went through. In this episode, she walks through what GLP Winner tracks and why — price breakdowns, compounding pharmacy transparency, real user reviews, and the vetting process behind adding a new provider.

In this episode, Dietitian Ana Reisdorf talks with Ashley Koff, RD about the “weight health hormone” ecosystem behind GLP-1s: how digestion and hormone signaling connect, why one-size-fits-no-one advice (like “just eat more fiber”) can backfire, and what real maintenance can look like without turning it into another diet plan. About Ashley Koff, RDAshley Koff, RD is the founder of The Better Nutrition Program (BNP), the Nutrition Course Director for UC Irvine’s Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute's Integrative and Functional Medicine Fellowship, and a faculty member at the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA), where she teaches “An Integrative and Functional Nutrition Approach to Obesity and Weight Management.” She is also the author of the upcoming book, Your Best Shot (Harper One, January 6, 2026). A practitioner for over 25 years, Koff is leading a transformative movement in personalized nutrition, turning “better, not perfect” choices into practical, sustainable strategies that deliver real health outcomes. Through patient stories and personal experience, she shows that optimal health is not just possible—it’s essential to living your fullest life.
