The GLP-1 Wildcard with Sylvia Hristakeva

What Changing Appetites Mean for Food Retail

GLP-1 drugs have changed what a meaningful share of consumers want to eat, and food retail is still working out what that means for assortment, basket size, and category growth. Most of what has been written about it is inference. This session is the research.

Sylvia Hristakeva, Professor at Cornell University and lead author of a study on consumer food demand under GLP-1 adoption, presents what the data actually shows — which categories move, by how much, for whom — and what grocery, food, and restaurant operators should expect next.

The session is scoped to food, grocery, and restaurant retail. Research presentation followed by open Q&A.

• Data instead of speculation. The lead author on the research, presenting findings rather than commentary. Almost nobody in the market has read the study.
• Category-level specifics. Which categories are affected and by how much — the granularity assortment and merchandising decisions actually require.
• A forward read. What the researchers expect as adoption widens, which is the part that affects planning rather than post-mortems.
• The right room. Grocery, food, and restaurant leaders across North Texas, in a session built for them rather than a general retail agenda.
