In this episode, we peel back the layers of one of today’s most talked-about treatments—GLP-1 receptor agonists—through the enriching lens of integrative medicine.

Discover how these revolutionary medications—initially created for type 2 diabetes and now widely used for weight loss—are just one part of a broader, balanced approach to hormonal and metabolic health. We explore:

• How GLP-1 drugs work: From the science of insulin secretion and appetite control to slowing gastric emptying 

• When they’re most transformative: Especially for individuals navigating hormonal imbalances—like hypothyroidism, perimenopause, or menopause 

• The full picture on benefits and challenges: Including metabolic improvements, potential side effects, and the importance of personalized care 

• Why integration matters: Pairing these medications with nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, stress management, and thyroid-focused strategies enhances long-term results 

🎧 If you’re curious about how a modern medical breakthrough can be allied with time-tested lifestyle tools for sustainable health—this episode is for you!
