GLP-1s Aren't Just For Weight Loss Anymore


Listen Later

For years, GLP-1 medications have been marketed as “weight loss drugs.”
But what if weight loss is actually the side effect — not the main event?

In this episode, Dr. Lori Gerber breaks down why GLP-1 receptor agonists are emerging as powerful tools for inflammation control, metabolic repair, hormone balance, brain health, and longevity — far beyond the scale.

You’ll learn:

  • Why GLP-1s work at the cellular and inflammatory level, not just appetite

  • How GLP-1 signaling improves insulin resistance, lipid markers, cardiovascular risk, and metabolic flexibility

  • The role GLP-1s may play in autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, and neuroprotection

  • Why endurance athletes, high performers, and perimenopausal patients respond differently

  • How micro-dosing compounded GLP-1s compares to high-dose pharmaceutical pens

  • The biggest mistakes people make that lead to fatigue, muscle loss, or rebound symptoms

  • Who should not be on GLP-1s — and how to use them intelligently if you are

    This episode reframes GLP-1s through an integrative, functional medicine lens, separating hype from physiology and helping you understand how these medications can be used as precision metabolic tools, not blunt weight-loss weapons.

    Whether you’re struggling with weight resistance, inflammation, hormone shifts, brain fog, or metabolic burnout — this conversation will change how you think about GLP-1s.
