Whats with the GLP-1s?

• GLP-1 = glucagon-like peptide-1
• A natural peptide produced by the body involved in digestion, appetite and regulation of hormones involved in digestion, appetite and metabolism
• Peptides are short chains of amino acids; think of them as micro-proteins
• They play a crucial role in signaling processes that regulate metabolism, water balance, immune function, muscle activity, and various other bodily functions.

Why haven't I heard much about this?

• Previous studies were flawed, leading to exaggerated fears about cardiovascular risks and prostate cancer associated with testosterone replacement.
• As a result, many physicians lack awareness and the necessary training in hormone replacement therapy, making them hesitant to manage low testosterone cases.
• Current research indicates that addressing low testosterone can actually reduce cardiovascular risk. While testosterone replacement therapy does not cause prostate cancer, it can exacerbate existing prostate cancer, which is why screening is essential before starting treatment.

Why are so many people using GLP-1s?

• Because they are the safest and most effective weight loss medications on the market.
• They are easy! A weekly injection with mild to no pain.
• Weight loss is complex due to factors like hormones, metabolism, diet, stress, and activity, even when you feel like you're doing everything right.
