Episode Description
Are medications solving the root of metabolic disease — or just masking it?
In this powerful episode that started as a Instagram LIVE, I break down what you're not being told about the most commonly prescribed drugs for blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight loss: GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy), statins, and Metformin.
I help you unpack:
- What these medications actually do (mechanisms of action)
- The real data behind their risk reduction claims
- How statins may suppress natural GLP-1 production
- Why GLP-1s cause significant muscle loss, not just fat loss
- Why Metformin doesn't reverse insulin resistance
More importantly, I walk you through what does restore metabolic health — including a system that's helping real people normalize labs, lose weight, and feel better without long-term prescriptions.
What You'll Learn:- The surprising truth about how statins impact your gut hormones
- Why insulin resistance — not cholesterol — is the real root cause
- How GLP-1 drugs work and what happens when you stop them
- The 3-step system to support blood sugar and cholesterol naturally
- How to evaluate your labs beyond A1C and LDL
