weight loss is no longer a better goal.

ashley koff, rd has spent 25 years asking a better question: what does your body actually need to support your health - today and tomorrow?

she called it weight health. and she built a program around it.

her new book your best shot just hit the usa today bestseller list. but the program behind it has been changing lives for years.

here’s what makes us different:
we don’t hand you a diet. we build a truly personalized nutrition plan around your body, your labs, your life.

we give you your own team: a nutritionist, a health coach, and a care coordinator.

we’re with you as your body changes — because what works better for you today may need to shift tomorrow
this is weight health done right.

There are a variety of great reasons to use a GLP1 medication- stopping hunger is not one of them. No hunger is a signal that there’s a problem. I unpack what it means and how to address it in my Substack article this week, hope it’s helpful 💪🏽 by @ashleykoffapproved

Taking a moment to introduce myself, I’d love you to do the same because as you will see one of my 🦸🏻‍♀️is making connections 🎯

🎯I’m a recovering perfectionist
🎯My first real job was making ads to sell sugared cereals as essential for your health goals (🙈)
🎯 I’ve actually been working since I could talk (which may be in utero 😂) so I’m OG in the gig economy
🎯 I was teased for being fat from about age 8, it took a long time for me to see that that had nothing to do with me and everything to do with a society that didn’t understand weight health
🎯 I have the best friends - a few of whom gifted me this sweater
🎯 I’m extremely competitive but try to be nonjudgmental
🎯 I’m aggressive but try to never be passive aggressive
🎯 I’m really funny (to me) and try to use humor to heal

And I wrote Your Best Shot because I believe everyone needs and deserves a playbook to optimize their weight health.

Now your turn 👇🏽 by @ashleykoffapproved

In Your Best Shot, the playbook for how to optimize weight health, I share the “better be delicious to me” test and why I’ve used it for patients for the last 20 years … GLP-1 medication or not. Deliciousness is not a nice to have it’s a tool to signal the body to work effectively and efficiently. Here’s how it works;
1) set your scale: 1 is ick never again and 10 is the most delicious you can recall
2) after your first bites or sips, pause to determine the number you would give them.
>7 keep going and enjoy
4-6 consider it meh. Likely it’s giving you nutrition but unlikely to fully satisfy you. Watch the quantity, in this range you are more likely to consume more before you feel satisfied.
1-3 Stop. Do you have other options? If not, be clear that you will not be getting satisfaction triggered via taste … hopefully you can have something more delicious at your next pit stop.

For more tools like this, the sweet taste bud test and reset, the digestive assessment and tune up grab a copy of Your Best Shot where you borrow or buy books. #weighthealth #linkinbio #delicious #nutrition by @ashleykoffapproved

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down today with @ashleykoffapproved and chat about weight health. She brought a new spin on it in a way I hadn’t heard before, and I found it really interesting!

We’re talking about the changes so many women notice in menopause: shifting appetite, unpredictable energy, and a body that seems to play by different rules.

Ashley shares her perspective on digestion, hunger and fullness, protein, fibre and hydration. We also discussed alcohol and how women using GLP-1 medications can support their muscle and bone health.

For this episode, comment PODCAST, and I will DM you the link.

Be sure to follow her on Instagram also! by @ashleykoffapproved

Ok when two exceptional health leaders @drjeffreybland and @drsandi tag you - you respond. In a world of longevity, health span and on the other end so much suboptimal health, striving for exceptional vs acceptable aligns with my goals for each of us individually and for all of us in community. Thanks to @plminstitute for this challenge I’m tagging @drjillcarnahan @draustinperlmutter @dr.carriejones for their exceptional tips and insights by @ashleykoffapproved

Our bodies and brains are designed to use sunlight as a signal. Less sunlight will impact what you crave, when you feel hungry and what you have energy for —- this time of year, are you feeling it?
Here are some tips I share with patients as we conduct experiments to optimize their weight health:
1) Get outside — regardless of the weather and as much as you can, safely.
2) Use light therapies — but not in the dark. It’s ok to use them as the sun comes up or sets but resist the urge to give yourself doses of “daylight” when outside is nightlight.
3) Assess cravings — are they fatigue, temperature or emotionally driven? If yes, which one(s)? How can you change your food choices to be more delicious to you and balanced to reduce cravings?
4) Optimize digestion - always. It’s the way your body take resources received and translates them into usable ones
5) Consistent bedtime - skip the late afternoon nap or couch TV time because it’s dark and you are tired or want to be cozy and instead maintain a better bedtime. #sleep #weighthealth #cravings #daylight #daylightsavings by @ashleykoffapproved

Hormone-aware women’s #MentalHealth takes center stage Thursday at the FREE @ThisIsFlowSpace @SheMedia Women’s Health Summit in Los Angeles.

I’m joining @jennysduan & TaylorMHansen on a panel to discuss the future of where midlife care is headed with novel treatments, AI and hormone-tracking wearables.

Jenny founded @WearClair, a wrist wearable launching in November that tracks estrogen, progesterone, LH and FSH without a blood draw.

From @xellahealth, Taylor is bringing women precision testing for more than 130 conditions specific to female biology.

I’ll be speaking on hormone-aware mental health and how #microdosing and #psychedelic medicine 🍄🌵can be timed to help optimize mood, cognition, focus, energy and the shifts a female brain and body move through in all cycles…especially midlife.

PLUS: @avrombluming @rosieacosta @jenbermanmd @drnigmatalib @doctor.bayo @annshoket @ashleykoffapproved and so many more!!

you lost weight. but what did you lose?

ten pounds down on the scale can’t tell you if it was fat, muscle or water.

that’s why we care about body composition and weight health, not just a smaller number.

comment BETTER and we’ll send you our Weight Health Guide.

Are you like so many of those who become patients nationally @thebetternutritionprogram who are trying all the things and not getting the results? When your operating system can’t use what you’re giving it, it doesn’t produce the results you seek. Add medications or activities or restrictions that further challenge it? And it gets worse not better. We’re in the business (only) of empowering patients to optimize their weight health so the way their body feels, runs and looks indicates optimal function and health. Anything less is just a product or spokesperson making money off of you. We’d love to meet you for got first free consult to assess fit. #linkinbio #protein #fiber #strengthtraining #weighthealth by @ashleykoffapproved
