How can GLP-1 medications reduce inflammation and improve long-term health outcomes for you beyond weight loss?


In this episode, JJ talks with thyroid and metabolic health expert McCall McPherson about the powerful connection between GLP-1 medications, inflammation, and thyroid function. Together they reveal why these therapies are about far more than weight loss and how they can unlock vitality, restore balance, and protect long-term health. This conversation will open your eyes to the overlooked truth about thyroid testing, the real benefits of GLP-1s, and practical strategies to age powerfully.


McCall McPherson has helped thousands of women regain energy and confidence through her Modern Thyroid Clinic and Modern Weight Loss. A TEDx speaker, Inc. 5000 entrepreneur, and host of the Modern Thyroid and Wellness podcast, McCall blends cutting-edge science with compassion to give women real answers and life-changing results.
