Mar 28, 2023

GLP-1 drugs have been all over the headlines and the global demand for using these drugs for weight loss has been significant. GLP-1 belongs to a family of gut-based hormones called incretins. In this episode I'll teach you about the fascinating incretin system and how you can influence it naturally to promote weight loss. I cover the following:

  • Understanding the incretin system and how the gut communicates with the brain
  • How the incretins affect the pancreas and other major organs
  • Benefits and risks of GLP-1 agonist drugs
  • My thoughts on using GLP-1 for what I call "cosmetic" weight loss
  • Non-drug lifestyle strategies to increase GLP-1 to lower weight and lower glucose
