"GLP-1 Agonists are a popular medical treatment that was first approved to help type 2 diabetes but have since emerged as a popular medical treatment for obesity. To help customers in their GLP-1 journey, I've helped develop products aimed at preserving muscle mass during dieting and providing key nutrients to support metabolic health and the gut microbiome."
- Dr. Michael Murray, N.D.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone-like compound released by cells in the intestines in response to a meal. GLP-1 is designed to improve food utilization, fat metabolism, and appetite regulation. It also works to improve insulin action, blood sugar control, and the feeling of satiety (the sensation of being full).
GLP-1 agonists are a medical treatment for obesity. These drugs include semaglutide and tirzepatide.
These drugs work to mimic human GLP-1 and are administered via weekly injection or oral medication.
It is important to use these medications under the direct supervision of a physician. Side effects include:
Because GLP-1 agonists can significantly reduce appetite and cause nausea or stomach issues, they can lead to insufficient food intake.
Another key concern about GLP-1 agonists is a higher percentage loss of muscle mass than weight loss achieved through diet and lifestyle changes. This may result from inadequate nutrition and/or physical exercise when relying solely on GLP-1 agonists for weight loss.
When taking a GLP-1 agonist, it is critical to be mindful of the important roles of diet, key dietary supplements, and lifestyle in overall health. To maintain muscle mass while dieting, it is important to engage in walking or strength and resistance training and consume adequate amounts of protein and other essential nutrients.
Be sure to discuss with your physician whether the use of these drugs is appropriate and alert them if there is any change in your health or well-being if you are taking these medications.
With rapid weight loss, the face's skin loses fat and collagen support structures, which may result in lines and wrinkles, loose and sagging skin, and a hollowed-out appearance. Supplementing the diet with collagen peptides provides the building blocks of collagen manufacture to support skin health. That may also help offset the effects of rapid weight loss on facial appearance.
