Welcome to Part 1 of our Peptide Series, where we break down the science behind today’s most talked-about compounds–starting with retatrutide.


In this episode, we dive into the mechanism of action of retatrutide, the first GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon triple agonist, and why it represents a major shift in obesity pharmacology.


We cover:

  • What GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors actually do
  • How retatrutide drives satiety, insulin signaling, and energy expenditure simultaneously
  • Why adding glucagon changed the game
  • A clear breakdown of the clinical trial data so far
  • How retatrutide compares to current drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide


This episode is your mechanism-first foundation for understanding where peptide-based fat loss is headed.
