If you have ever been told to just eat less, this episode explains why that advice misses the point. Dr. Ayushi Dixit is an endocrinologist who trained in internal medicine, completed a fellowship in endocrinology, and added an obesity certification through Columbia.

She walks through what is actually happening in the body: the hormones that tell you when to eat and when to stop, and why in some people those signals never properly switch off. She also explains food noise, the constant mental planning around meals that so many patients describe, and what these drugs do to quiet it.

We cover the differences between Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound and why the same drug carries two names, what nobody tells you about switching brands, who is a good candidate and who should not take these at all, and the side effects worth taking seriously. Danielle is candid about her own experience on a GLP-1, including the nights that landed her on the bathroom floor.

Dr. Dixit also gives a straight answer on compounded semaglutide, and a piece of insurance advice most people have never heard: your employer, not your insurer, may be the one deciding whether these drugs are covered at all.
