The Best Diet to Follow While Taking GLP-1 Medications, New Study Reveals (EP 21)

If you're using GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, but not sure how to eat while on them, this episode breaks it down.

We cover a new ⁠study⁠ published in Nature comparing a low-calorie diet vs. a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet in people taking tirzepatide. The results: one group lost more fat but kept more muscle. Spoiler: it wasn’t the low-calorie group.

We discuss:- Why protein and strength training are essential with GLP-1s

- How ketones play a role in fat loss and muscle retention

- Why these drugs should be a kickstart, not a shortcut

- We also dive into vagus nerve health, ketone monitoring, and the bigger picture of healthspan, not just weight loss.

Klaudia and Don also touch on life purpose, resilience, and how both of those tie back to optimizing health without falling into perfection traps.
