Episode notes
Consider Microdosing As Maintenance
- Microdosing GLP-1s can be a long-term maintenance strategy rather than a short-term fix.
- Consider low-frequency higher-dose cycles (e.g., monthly) to resensitize and support metabolic health.
Define Microdosing By Weekly Average
- Cycle dosing frequency so average weekly dose is below starter dose to qualify as microdosing.
- Many patients respond better to a larger hit less frequently because it allows resensitization.
Personal Journey From Fasting To GLP-1s
- Dr. Dean Jones healed his long-term weight cycling through fasting before GLP-1s existed.
- He later combined fasting principles with GLP-1s to create a synergistic protocol that improved metabolic stability.
