Jennifer, a registered dietitian leading a team of over 100 other dietitians, discusses managing side effects with ginger gum, maintaining weight loss on lower doses, and handling "dietitians should know better" criticism. Scott explains switching from semaglutide to tirzepatide for better results. They offer practical couple strategies: syncing injection schedules, splitting restaurant meals, using protein shakes, and supporting each other through the journey. Essential listening for couples considering GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound together.

In this episode, Ana Reisdorf (Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 user) sits down with Laraine and Christopher from The Downsized to unpack what happens when GLP-1s change more than the scale. They share their combined 150+ lb loss, what maintenance really looks like (including dose decisions), and the mental shift of unlearning decades of “diet brain.”
You’ll hear the unfiltered realities: food noise returning when dosing changes, side effects that can be unpredictable, access anxiety, and the non-scale victories that matter most - less inflammation, less pain, and getting your life back. They also cover what their audience asks every day: plateaus, fear of the first shot, “what do I eat?”, and how to advocate for yourself when you’re not getting enough guidance.
More About Laraine and Christopher:
Christopher and Laraine Durham are the husband-and-wife team behind The Downsized, a daily YouTube channel for people who want honest, real-world conversations about GLP-1 medications and the medical treatment of obesity.

They have been married for 22 years and live in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their three kids. Together, they have lost more than 150 pounds using GLP-1 therapies, including tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and Zepbound. They started this channel in September 2023 after realizing how confusing, lonely, and overwhelming this process can feel.

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.
About Maha Tahiri:
Maha Tahiri, PhD is a veteran health and wellness executive, board advisor, and global thought leader in food innovation. As CEO of Nutrition Sustainability Strategies LLC, she guides Fortune 300 companies and startups at the intersection of science, regulation, and consumer insight.   A pioneer in GLP-1 nutrition and companion food innovation, she leads global industry collaborations setting new nutrition standards.
