Mindsip insights from this episode:
Address GLP-1 deficiency to regulate appetite and combat obesity
The appetite-regulating hormones leptin and ghrelin don't work properly if the peptide GLP-1 isn't present to activate their receptors, suggesting a potential GLP-1 deficiency in those with obesity.
Utilize GLP-1 agonist to reduce COVID deaths in diabetics
A 2022 study of type 2 diabetics hospitalized with COVID found that weekly semaglutide administration led to an 80% reduction in death and ICU admissions.
Utilize peptides to heal heart tissue and reverse heart failure
Certain peptides, including GLP-1 agonists, have been shown in studies to heal heart tissue and even reverse heart failure.
Microdose GLP-1 agonists to minimize side effects
By using compounded GLP-1 agonists at a fraction of the standard starting dose, it's possible to gain benefits while avoiding severe side effects like nausea, vomiting, and muscle loss.
Save on GLP-1 agonists with compounded peptides for $20 a month
Instead of paying over $1,000 a month for brand-name drugs, GLP-1 agonists can be obtained from compounding pharmacies for as little as $20 a month.
Combine strength training and high-protein diet to prevent muscle loss
The manufacturer's own studies show significant muscle loss occurs on these drugs unless you combine them with intense strength training 4-5 times a week and a high-protein diet.
Prioritize keto diet and exercise over Ozempic for obesity in Denmark
In Denmark, home to Ozempic's manufacturer, the government-subsidized standard of care for obesity is a keto diet and exercise, not the drug itself.
Utilize microdosed peptides to alleviate autoimmune pain
A doctor personally uses tiny, microdosed amounts of peptides to mitigate the crippling pain from her psoriatic arthritis, an autoimmune condition.
