The Future of Food in a GLP-1 World with Maha Tahiri

Send us Fan Mail

GLP-1 medications are changing more than appetite - they’re changing how people shop, eat, and relate to food. In this episode, Ana sits down with Dr. Maha Tahiri, PhD in Human Nutrition, who spent over 20 years inside the food industry and now advises companies on how GLP-1s are reshaping the food landscape.

They talk about why grocery shopping feels different on GLP-1s, how consumer behavior shifts over time, what food companies are getting right and wrong, and why nutrition on GLP-1s requires more than eating less. The conversation also explores hydration, timing, and food design as overlooked factors that can influence long-term success.

This episode is for anyone using Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or similar GLP-1 medications who wants a clearer understanding of what these changes actually mean in everyday life.
