GLP-1s; More Than Just Weight Loss

GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide have become famous for weight loss, but that’s only part of the story.

In this episode, we look deeper at how GLP-1s affect the body’s broader biology, including blood sugar regulation, inflammation, brain signalling, and gut health. We explore how these medications may act as metabolic reset buttons, opening a rare window of opportunity to rebuild healthier habits and restore balance to the gut microbiome.
