GLP-1s Work. Here's What Still Gets Missed.

About this Video

Most of the GLP-1 conversation online splits into two camps: people who think everyone should be on it, and people who think it's the end of the human race. Zach Dancel and Stephanie Misanik argue neither camp has it right, and break down the real variable that decides if a GLP-1 helps someone build a healthier life instead of just delaying the same problem.

There is no guest this week. Zach Dancel, COO of Nava Health, and Stephanie Misanik, Clinical Director at Nava Health, cover the real history behind Nava's own GLP-1 hesitation, why so many GLP-1 prescriptions come with little or no support attached, and the specific piece of the puzzle that decides whether the weight stays off.

You will hear why the loudest voices on both sides of the GLP-1 debate are both missing the point.

Zach and Stephanie discuss:

  • The two camps in the GLP-1 debate and why Stephanie says neither one is right

  • Stephanie's actual credentials as a Certified Nutrition Specialist and what that license requires

  • Why Nava was originally built around a weight loss protocol that federal regulation shut down overnight

  • The year Stephanie pushed back hard against adding GLP-1s to Nava's protocols, and why

  • How COVID exposed the connection between metabolic health and health outcomes

  • Why less than 7 percent of medical residents come out of training knowing about perimenopause and menopause

  • The dietary support statistic that explains why so many people regain the weight

  • What separates a provider who treats GLP-1s as a shortcut from one who treats it as a tool

  • How personal responsibility and medication work together instead of against each other

  • Why Nava treats a GLP-1 prescription as the start of a plan, not the end of one
