the “backwards DR”
Hi, I’m Ashley Koff RD your “backwards DR” and weight health expert. We all want the same thing: optimal health. We get and keep it when our body’s have what they need and can use those resources effectively. That sounds easy but it isn’t. Knowing what your body needs and what might need support or repair can feel frustrating, challenging, and overwhelming especially as you try to navigate the marketing gauntlet of products, programs and podcasts today. I know you’ve tried at least one or two things, especially if your goals include optimizing your weight.
That’s why I created The Better Nutrition Program (BNP), why I wrote Your Best Shot and why it includes free access to our community and additional resources. Because you don’t need to try harder, you need better resources to identify what your body needs and the support to make those choices doable.
Weight health in the GLP1 era is different. Through my personal and professional history, I learned about our weight-health hormones and their role as regulators of our weight health. When functioning optimally, they put things where they should go – muscle, bone and fat. When suboptimal – whether suppressed, delayed or dysfunctional – they keep us from optimal weight health. Today, we can optimize these hormones with or without using GLP1 medications. I’ve been helping patients do that for over 15 years, and now train practitioners on how to do this too. It requires personalized assessment and protocols for optimization. I share how to do that with you in my new book, USA Today bestseller Your Best Shot: The Personalized Plan for Optimal Weight Health- GLP-1 Shot or Not. And we offer you the opportunity to work with a weight health nutritionist and coach here at BNP if you choose not to DIY your own plan.
