What this video covers
So what’s your approach to the whole like muscle loss thing? So we want to dose to appetite control so people still want to eat. We don’t want to crush people into fast significant weight loss. So if they’re cranking GLP1s and they’re not prioritizing and protecting their muscle, they’re absolutely going to be in a worse situation at the end of it than they started in.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- The weight loss side effect was figured out and then big pharma figured hey let’s you know FDA approved this for weight loss just a couple years ago.
- It actually has a healing and regenerative effect on your metabolic health in a myriad of ways.
- We don’t have to crank them into side effects and all the horrific side effects.
- It activates uh CCK, P, PY, and um GLP in the gut based on triggering the bitter receptors in the small intestine after you swallow these capsules.
- Would could you make a case if someone were being prescribed a GLP to also prescribe some type of bile stimulant uh such as TUDKA or something like that for the liver?
- The peptide itself actually is healing and anti-inflammatory on the muscles, joints and bones, which is very cool.
