Author: Reed Davis September 10, 2026 Duration: 37:45
FDNP Brandy Buskow shares her personal journey with lifelong obesity, IBS, anxiety, digestive issues, and years of struggling with weight despite major lifestyle and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition changes. She explains why she eventually explored GLP-1 medication, how it affected her appetite and “food noise,” and why gradual weight loss is about more than medication alone. Michele and Brandy also discuss GLP-1s, metabolic health, gut health, practitioner scope, medication safety, ethics, body image, and the role of FDN practitioners and health coaches in responsibly supporting clients who use or consider GLP-1 medications.
