Understanding GLP-1 Agonists

GLP-1 agonists, such as Ozempic, have been somewhat controversial, but they offer potential benefits that extend beyond weight loss. Dr. Tina Moore, a functional medicine expert, highlights their promising role in pain reduction, metabolic health, and even neuroregeneration. These peptides, originally studied for type 2 diabetes, are now being recognized for their capacity to assist in suppressing appetite and improving insulin response, making them valuable for individuals beyond just those seeking weight management. This new perspective encourages a more nuanced view of GLP-1s, indicating that their effects could support various health conditions rather than being solely weight-loss drugs.
