Two of the most promising treatments for obesity in recent years are semaglutide, a GLP-1 agonist, and tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist. These peptides have garnered attention for their impressive efficacy in weight loss and metabolic improvement, but they differ in their mechanisms, dosing, side effects, and outcomes. In this podcast, we’ll explore how these […]

Weight Loss Plateau with GLP-1 Agonists
In the journey of weight loss, everyone eventually reaches a plateau, even when using newer GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound). This phase is where the body finds a new set point and weight. During this plateau, some individuals may experience a gradual increase in appetite or “food noise”, while others can […]
Best Foods While on a GLP-1
When embarking on a weight loss journey, it’s important to be aware that losing weight can sometimes result in the loss of muscle mass along with fat. This unintended muscle loss can lead to decreased strength, slower metabolism, a less toned appearance, or extra skin. To counteract this, it’s essential to incorporate foods that support […]
The Role of Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) in Reducing Inflammation
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone primarily known for its role in regulating blood sugar levels through its effects on insulin secretion and appetite control. However, recent research has shown another significant function of GLP-1: its ability to reduce inflammation. This opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions in various inflammatory conditions and chronic diseases. […]
