GLP-1s: The Miracle Drug Changing Weight Loss & Medicine Forever (ft. Bracha Banayan) | SNH #116


Listen Later

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Bracha Banayan, a seasoned healthcare professional and innovator in weight management, uncovers the untold truths behind GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and their competitors. Bracha shares her personal journey from battling unexpected weight gain to discovering how these medications can not only help with weight loss but also transform overall health by reducing inflammation, moderating blood sugar spikes, and even rewiring behavior through what she calls the “pause factor.” She also dives into the science, the art of proper dosing, potential side effects, and the critical role of lifestyle modifications and supportive ecosystems in achieving long-term success.

Join us as we delve into:

  • How GLP‑1 drugs work to slow gastrointestinal transit, moderate blood sugar spikes, and influence our brain’s reward system
  • The concept of the “pause factor” and how a delay in instant gratification can transform eating habits
  • Dosing strategies—from starting low and titrating gradually to minimizing side effects while achieving sustainable weight loss
  • The critical role of lifestyle modifications, including nutrition, exercise, and behavioral coaching, in complementing GLP‑1 therapy
