Blasphemous Nutrition
The orthodox wellness industry keeps you in purgatory with vague, overly simplistic advice or plunges you into the depths of hell with restrictive commandments that are impossible to sustain. At this point you may be tempted to pursue hedonism instead, but at the end of the day you want to feel and age your best and you know a devil-may-care attitude won’t serve you.

In this episode of "Blasphemous Nutrition," Aimee shares the three most important questions to ask yourself before considering weight loss medications and other lifestyle medications prescribed for chronic disease caused by lifestyle factors. Aimee also provides clinical insights into the use of GLP one receptor agonists, a popular class of weight loss medications, and the need for further research on their long-term effects.

- "Utilizing weight loss medications without addressing emotional eating can lead to rebound weight gain once the medication is discontinued."
- "The best use for weight loss medications is as a support tool while addressing the root causes of weight gain, such as poor nutrition habits and emotional triggers."
