  • The Real Talk on GLP-1 Medications with Julia Stevens
    Feb 21 2026

    Are GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Zepound really the weight loss solution everyone's talking about? In this episode, registered dietitian Julia Stevens cuts through the noise and gives us the real story. Julia breaks down how GLP-1 medications work, why managing "food noise" is a game changer, and why having an exit plan matters just as much as starting the medication. She also shares practical mindset tips and her simple two-step strategy for becoming more mindful around food — no extreme dieting required.

    Julia Stevens is the owner of Active Nutrition, a 100% virtual private practice based in Metro Detroit, Michigan. With nearly 20 years of experience in weight management and chronic disease prevention, Julia helps clients get the most out of their health journey — whether they're on GLP-1 medications or not.

  • What Your Insurance Agent Wishes You Knew with Jamilah Wright
    Feb 12 2026

    What if the insurance policy you set up years ago no longer fits your life? In this episode of Opening Doors with Annette Compo, local State Farm Agent Jamilah Wright pulls back the curtain on everything your insurance agent wishes you already knew — from reviewing your coverage during big life changes, to insuring items you never even thought to call about.

    Jamilah shares why bundling is about more than just saving money, why a home inventory could save you thousands, and how her own leap of faith from 20 years in corporate America led her to build a thriving agency right here in Farmington Hills. If you've ever set your insurance on autopilot and forgotten about it, this episode is your sign to make that call.
