INSIGHT

Microdosing Isn't for Weight Loss

  • Microdosing GLP-1 is not an effective weight loss strategy as commonly marketed online.
  • The original intent of microdosing was for health benefits unrelated to weight loss.
INSIGHT

True Microdosing Means Tiny Amounts

  • Microdosing involves using less than half of a standard starting dose, sometimes as low as a tenth.
  • Most doctors and clinics still use standard doses, not true microdoses.
ADVICE

Prioritize Gut Health First

  • Prioritize gut health first since GLP-1 is produced in the gut and compromised gut impacts overall health.
  • Use gut-supporting protocols before considering GLP-1 treatments for systemic issues.
