GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy are changing how Americans eat, and that has big implications for the dairy industry.

In this episode of The Milk Check, host Ted Jacoby III welcomes Paul Ziemnisky, leader of nutrition and industry growth platforms at Dairy Management Inc., and Dr. Chris Cifelli, vice president of nutrition research for the National Dairy Council.

Together with the Jacoby team, they unpack what GLP-1 appetite-suppressing drugs mean for dairy demand, and how our industry can win.

We cover:

• How GLP-1s suppress hunger and how dairy’s fat + protein combo supports satiety
• How protein quality matters more than ever, and why dairy still leads the pack
• How R&D teams are turning classic dairy products into high-protein, low-sugar solutions

From gut health to GLP-1 support, this episode dives deep into one of the most important trends shaping dairy today. Join us for The Milk Check episode 81: The Ozempic and GLP-1 shockwave hitting U.S. dairy.
