ADVICE

Prioritize Muscle Over Quick Fixes

  • Build muscle; it's the safest long-term way to lose fat and slow aging.
  • Prioritize protein intake and strength training over chasing fast fixes.
ADVICE

Increase Protein Gradually

  • Increase protein in meals progressively to avoid gut issues and support muscle.
  • Use protein-rich recipes (like protein rotis) to hit daily targets without shakes.
INSIGHT

GLP‑1 Drugs Replace Gut-Brain Signals

  • GLP-1 drugs mimic gut-brain signals to reduce appetite and improve insulin.
  • They work best for those with disrupted gut-brain signaling and obesity, not as universal magic pills.
