Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- We’re going to deep dive into those topics and unpack with some scientific nuance the latest on creatin not just for muscles but also for brain and heart health and busting some common myths about its safety.
- Now, the good news is that limited studies in adolescence have found no adverse effects on growth or health markers when proper doses are used.
- But in unhealthy kidneys, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence of risk.
- One study showed less diversity in the gut and an overgrowth of certain inflammatory bacteria in those with acne.
- We’ll talk about what GLP1 drugs do, why some are micro doing them, and the risks and unknowns of that approach and how it might affect the gut microbiome and overall health.
- This has led to a trend of micro doing GLP-1s where people take smaller than standard doses often attained through compoundingies or off label prescriptions to stretch the medication, save money or reduce side effects.
