What this video covers
The side effect profile of GLP1 is really problematic for a lot of people. Eight out of a 100red people after three years are still on the med. The data is quite clear you’re not going to be on this medication forever. So why dose up to a dose that potentially [music] makes you sick and that when you then remove that fruit noise is just going to come roaring back.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- And I would especially kind of like to hear that contextualized between the micro dose and what you get if you go to the average doctor and just get a GLP-1 prescription for a standard dose.
- So, um, we prescribe, um, you know, generic GLP-1, uh, we prescribe compounded JLP1, and we prescribe branded GLP1.
- So, it has to be uh either FDA approved or compoundable in a 503A.
- Now, you said something interesting about the compoundingies and this uh fact that you guys don’t use anything that’s not I think you said approved for production by a 503A compounder.
- So, I mean, most people by far, you know, most people who who who begin on a GLP-1, they’re getting it from a doctor or from some online clinic and that’s it.
- um how do they know uh that your peptides are safe or what do you look for to know if something like a micro dose is safe?
