#26 - The Science of GLP-1 Drugs and Natural Weight Loss
Manage episode 359170901 series 3317664
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
