Chef Jeffrey Held is joined by Dr. Holly Lofton, an obesity medicine expert at NYU Langone Health, to share nutrition strategies and gentle recipes that may help with nausea, constipation, and other digestive symptoms.
Chef Jeffrey Held prepares pan-seared salmon with kale pesto, quinoa, and roasted asparagus, along with a soothing lime ginger honey tea, while Dr. Holly Lofton explains common GLP-1 side effects such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, reflux, and delayed stomach emptying. This episode also covers practical tips like eating slowly, stopping when full, staying hydrated, increasing fiber thoughtfully, and limiting high-fat or fried foods that may worsen symptoms.
