What this video covers
Adam Perlman: What GLP-1 really does is it gets released in response to a meal. It tells the beta cells in the pancreas make more insulin. So your glucose doesn’t go up too much, it goes to your stomach. It slows down your digestion to allow you to feel more full and actually digest your food.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- And you know, I was really interested in looking at the evidence for that and how do we integrate it effectively in an evidence based way into helping people to not only address their health, but really optimize their vitality.
- But at the end of the day, these three strains, really what we’ve been able to show is certainly through preclinical research, they really support the body’s ability to naturally release GLP-1.
- Many people have heard of GLP-1, and many who haven’t even heard of GLP-1 are actually injecting into themselves and don’t even realize that that’s what they’re doing with some of these GLP-1 analog drugs.
- And again, we’ve shown this in preclinical studies.
- The idea of taking very, very small amounts of them, almost like microdosing with a GLP-1 for other benefits, like I think one I heard was lower blood pressure, better cardiovascular health.
- What we recommend, just based on what we’ve seen, like, for example, in the clinical trials, like in that study on the Type 2 diabetics, is giving at least up to 90 days.
