Ep #95 - Her labs look perfect. So why does she still feel like crap?

Send us Fan Mail Your patient's labs say optimized. Her symptom survey says otherwise. Before you reach for a higher dose, there's one question you might be skipping: what is she eating? In this episode, Jody reconnects with Johannah Katz, a registered dietitian with a master's in applied nutrition and dietetics who now sees patients at Nourish. Johannah's path is anything but typical. She chose a career as a singer and actress, until a BRCA2-positive diagnosis sparked her return to school to focus on risk reduction through diet and lifestyle. While finishing her master's, she interned at the Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness, where Jody was COO, and built the clinic's first nutrition program from scratch. Johannah and Jody get candid about what worked, what didn't (spoiler: trying to "membershipize" nutrition), and why a dietitian may be the unique identifier your clinic needs to stand out. Johannah walks through exactly how she starts with every patient, why sleep and hunger hormones can make or break results, and why prescribing GLP-1s without nutrition support does patients a disservice. She also shares her no-pressure approach to showing up online as a provider, and why staying a practicing clinician is what makes your content credible. If you've got patients who are optimized on paper but still not feeling it, this conversation will change the questions you ask. Topics covered: -Why optimized labs don't always mean a patient feels optimized -Lessons learned building a nutrition program inside a hormone clinic -Why bundling nutrition into a membership can work against you -What genetic testing (like 3X4) adds to a nutrition plan -Johannah's starting framework: dietary intake, tracking, and SMART goals -Sleep, ghrelin, and why tired patients reach for chips instead of carrots -GLP-1s: protein, muscle preservation, and why what you eat matters more when you eat less -What to look for when hiring an in-house registered dietitian -Content tips for providers: find your niche, pick one platform, stay consistent, stay a provider -Confidence, imposter syndrome, and "stronger body, stronger mind" Connect with Johannah:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johannahkatzrd/  Book with Johannah at Nourish: https://signup.nourish.com/providers/johannah-katz?referralSource=Nourish+dietitian&referralName=Johannah+Katz&utm_source=Nourish_dietitian&utm_term=Johannah_Katz  Want the whole system?
