Introducing GLP-1s and the Topic 0:25 supposed to do. 0:25 supposed to do. Today I'm going to talk to you about the 0:26 Today I'm going to talk to you about the 0:26 Today I'm going to talk to you about the GLP-1s, how they work, what gets missed, 0:30 GLP-1s, how they work, what gets missed, 0:30 GLP-1s, how they work, what gets missed, and why your muscle may matter more than 0:32 and why your muscle may matter more than 0:32 and why your muscle may matter more than the number on the scale.

I help people find what others miss before 0:48 help people find what others miss before 0:48 help people find what others miss before the disease becomes worse. Helping you 0:50 the disease becomes worse. Helping you 0:51 the disease becomes worse. Helping you live that smarter, stronger, longer, 0:53 live that smarter, stronger, longer, 0:53 live that smarter, stronger, longer, because I say, "Don't let your first 0:55 because I say, "Don't let your first 0:55 because I say, "Don't let your first symptom be your last."

We're going to talk about what everyone's asking me 0:59 talk about what everyone's asking me 0:59 talk about what everyone's asking me about, and that's the GLP-1s. And I want 1:02 about, and that's the GLP-1s. And I want 1:02 about, and that's the GLP-1s. And I want to tell you a patient story. And we're 1:04 to tell you a patient story. And we're 1:04 to tell you a patient story. And we're going to call her Diana. 54-year-old, 1:07 going to call her Diana. 54-year-old, 1:07 going to call her Diana. 54-year-old, successful, disciplined, struggling with 1:10 successful, disciplined, struggling with 1:10 successful, disciplined, struggling with weight for years. Her primary care 1:13 weight for years. Her primary care 1:13 weight for years. Her primary care offered her semaglutide, and she said, 1:16 offered her semaglutide, and she said, 1:16 offered her semaglutide, and she said, "Yes," immediately. And it worked. She 1:19 "Yes," immediately. And it worked. She 1:19 "Yes," immediately. And it worked. She lost those 40 lbs. People congratulated 1:22 lost those 40 lbs. People congratulated 1:22 lost those 40 lbs. People congratulated her. Her doctor was thrilled. But Diana 1:25 her. Her doctor was thrilled. But Diana 1:25 her. Her doctor was thrilled. But Diana wasn't thrilled. She felt exhausted, 1:29 wasn't thrilled. She felt exhausted, 1:29 wasn't thrilled. She felt exhausted, weak. 1:30 weak. 1:30 weak. Her hair was thinning. Her mood was 1:32 Her hair was thinning. Her mood was 1:32 Her hair was thinning. Her mood was flat. Her scale said success, but her 1:35 flat. Her scale said success, but her 1:35 flat. Her scale said success, but her body said something is wrong. 1:38 body said something is wrong. 1:38 body said something is wrong. The biggest issue, no one measured her 1:41 The biggest issue, no one measured her 1:41 The biggest issue, no one measured her muscle, not once. 1:44 muscle, not once. 1:44 muscle, not once. We're going to talk now about how 1:46 We're going to talk now about how 1:46 We're going to talk now about how GLP-1s, yes, it's a natural hormone, 1:49 GLP-1s, yes, it's a natural hormone, 1:49 GLP-1s, yes, it's a natural hormone, it's a peptide, and it's released after 1:52 it's a peptide, and it's released after 1:52 it's a peptide, and it's released after eating. It helps 1:54 eating. It helps 1:54 eating. It helps decrease your appetite, insulin 1:56 decrease your appetite, insulin 1:56 decrease your appetite, insulin signaling. It slows the stomach 1:59 signaling. It slows the stomach 1:59 signaling. It slows the stomach emptying. 2:00 emptying. 2:00 emptying. And the peptide specifically today is 2:02 And the peptide specifically today is 2:02 And the peptide specifically today is going to be the semaglutide and the 2:04 going to be the semaglutide and the 2:04 going to be the semaglutide and the tirzepatide. They amplify the signaling 2:07 tirzepatide. They amplify the signaling 2:07 tirzepatide. They amplify the signaling that I just mentioned, and the weight 2:09 that I just mentioned, and the weight 2:09 that I just mentioned, and the weight loss does work. The issue is your body 2:13 loss does work. The issue is your body 2:13 loss does work. The issue is your body loses not only fat, but water and 2:17 loses not only fat, but water and 2:17 loses not only fat, but water and muscle. And research suggests that up to 2:20 muscle. And research suggests that up to 2:20 muscle. And research suggests that up to 25 to 40% of weight loss may come from
How GLP-1s Work and Why Muscle Matters 2:24 25 to 40% of weight loss may come from 2:24 25 to 40% of weight loss may come from lean mass muscle. Nearly half may not 2:27 lean mass muscle. Nearly half may not 2:27 lean mass muscle. Nearly half may not even just be the fat. I want to tell you 2:30 even just be the fat. I want to tell you 2:30 even just be the fat. I want to tell you why muscle really matters. Muscle 2:32 why muscle really matters. Muscle 2:32 why muscle really matters. Muscle determines your metabolic rate, your 2:36 determines your metabolic rate, your 2:36 determines your metabolic rate, your insulin sensitivity, your bone health, 2:39 insulin sensitivity, your bone health, 2:39 insulin sensitivity, your bone health, your recovery, your cognition, 2:42 your recovery, your cognition, 2:42 your recovery, your cognition, and your immune system, plus your fall 2:45 and your immune system, plus your fall 2:45 and your immune system, plus your fall prevention in the future. Muscle isn't 2:47 prevention in the future. Muscle isn't 2:48 prevention in the future. Muscle isn't just cosmetic. Muscle is your longevity 2:51 just cosmetic. Muscle is your longevity 2:51 just cosmetic. Muscle is your longevity organ. 2:52 organ. 2:52 organ. And I want to tell you what I do
Four Non-Negotiables for Healthy Weight Loss 2:54 And I want to tell you what I do 2:54 And I want to tell you what I do differently. My four non-negotiables. 2:58 differently. My four non-negotiables. 2:58 differently. My four non-negotiables. Number one, body composition. Not just 3:02 Number one, body composition. Not just 3:02 Number one, body composition. Not just your BMI, not just your weight, but more 3:05 your BMI, not just your weight, but more 3:05 your BMI, not just your weight, but more of detailed information from like an 3:07 of detailed information from like an 3:07 of detailed information from like an inbody scan. We want to know your fat, 3:10 inbody scan. We want to know your fat, 3:10 inbody scan. We want to know your fat, your muscle, your hydration, and how 3:13 your muscle, your hydration, and how 3:13 your muscle, your hydration, and how these all relate to each other. 3:15 these all relate to each other. 3:15 these all relate to each other. And number two, your protein intake. 3:19 And number two, your protein intake. 3:19 And number two, your protein intake. People need more protein than they than 3:21 People need more protein than they than 3:21 People need more protein than they than they really think. You really need to 3:23 they really think. You really need to 3:23 they really think. You really need to target like 1 g per pound of your lean 3:27 target like 1 g per pound of your lean 3:27 target like 1 g per pound of your lean mass target. Prioritizing protein first 3:30 mass target. Prioritizing protein first 3:30 mass target. Prioritizing protein first in your meals or even in those snacks. 3:33 in your meals or even in those snacks. 3:33 in your meals or even in those snacks. And number three, resistance training. 3:36 And number three, resistance training. 3:36 And number three, resistance training. This is non-optional. 3:38 This is non-optional. 3:38 This is non-optional. And I want to tell you, yeah, cardio 3:40 And I want to tell you, yeah, cardio 3:40 And I want to tell you, yeah, cardio burns calories, but resistance training 3:44 burns calories, but resistance training 3:44 burns calories, but resistance training really preserves those muscles. And 3:46 really preserves those muscles. And 3:46 really preserves those muscles. And number four, sometimes 3:49 number four, sometimes 3:49 number four, sometimes some extras peptides will be needed like 3:51 some extras peptides will be needed like 3:51 some extras peptides will be needed like the CJC 1295 and the Ipamorelin. These 3:55 the CJC 1295 and the Ipamorelin. These 3:56 the CJC 1295 and the Ipamorelin. These are growth hormone secretagogues that 3:57 are growth hormone secretagogues that 3:57 are growth hormone secretagogues that stimulate the pituitary gland to release 4:00 stimulate the pituitary gland to release 4:00 stimulate the pituitary gland to release your natural growth hormones. And of 4:03 your natural growth hormones. And of 4:03 your natural growth hormones. And of course, I want to talk about hormone 4:05 course, I want to talk about hormone 4:05 course, I want to talk about hormone support when it's appropriate. Let's go 4:07 support when it's appropriate. Let's go 4:07 support when it's appropriate. Let's go back to what that patient I was 4:09 back to what that patient I was 4:09 back to what that patient I was mentioning about earlier about Diana, 4:11 mentioning about earlier about Diana, 4:11 mentioning about earlier about Diana, what she actually needed. Really needed 4:14 what she actually needed. Really needed 4:14 what she actually needed. Really needed a lower GLP semaglutide
Dianau2019s Recovery and Better Body Composition 4:17 a lower GLP semaglutide 4:17 a lower GLP semaglutide dose. She needed protein strategy. She 4:20 dose. She needed protein strategy. She 4:20 dose. She needed protein strategy. She needed strength training and she needed 4:23 needed strength training and she needed 4:23 needed strength training and she needed support for the recovery. 90 days later, 4:26 support for the recovery. 90 days later, 4:26 support for the recovery. 90 days later, she comes back. Her energy is better. 4:29 she comes back. Her energy is better. 4:29 she comes back. Her energy is better. Her muscles improving. Her hair look 4:31 Her muscles improving. Her hair look 4:31 Her muscles improving. Her hair look quality was so much better and was less 4:34 quality was so much better and was less 4:34 quality was so much better and was less falling out. Her mood was better and the 4:37 falling out. Her mood was better and the 4:37 falling out. Her mood was better and the scale, well, it didn't really move, but 4:40 scale, well, it didn't really move, but 4:40 scale, well, it didn't really move, but her body composition showed something 4:42 her body composition showed something 4:42 her body composition showed something completely different. She didn't need 4:45 completely different. She didn't need 4:45 completely different. She didn't need more weight loss. She needed someone to 4:47 more weight loss. She needed someone to 4:47 more weight loss. She needed someone to actually look and optimize her health. I 4:52 actually look and optimize her health. I 4:52 actually look and optimize her health. I have a question. If you're on a GLP,
Questions for GLP Users and Next Weeku2019s Topic 4:55 have a question. If you're on a GLP, 4:55 have a question. If you're on a GLP, what has your prescriber never talked 4:57 what has your prescriber never talked 4:57 what has your prescriber never talked about? Is it preserving muscle? Is it 5:00 about? Is it preserving muscle? Is it 5:00 about? Is it preserving muscle? Is it the amount of protein you're supposed to 5:02 the amount of protein you're supposed to 5:02 the amount of protein you're supposed to eat? Is your body composition? Or is it 5:05 eat? Is your body composition? Or is it 5:05 eat? Is your body composition? Or is it your fatigue? Or maybe the gut issues? 5:08 your fatigue? Or maybe the gut issues? 5:08 your fatigue? Or maybe the gut issues? Drop it below. I read every comment cuz 5:11 Drop it below. I read every comment cuz 5:11 Drop it below. I read every comment cuz next week I'm going to be talking about 5:12 next week I'm going to be talking about 5:12 next week I'm going to be talking about fatigue and those peptides that help, 5:15 fatigue and those peptides that help, 5:15 fatigue and those peptides that help, the ones for energy for your 5:17 the ones for energy for your 5:17 the ones for energy for your mitochondrial support such as MOTS-c and 5:20 mitochondrial support such as MOTS-c and 5:20 mitochondrial support such as MOTS-c and SS-31. 5:22 SS-31. 5:22 SS-31. And these we're going to talk about how 5:23 And these we're going to talk about how 5:23 And these we're going to talk about how they can improve and support fatigue and 5:25 they can improve and support fatigue and 5:25 they can improve and support fatigue and why your labs can look normal while your 5:29 why your labs can look normal while your 5:29 why your labs can look normal while your energy disappears. Everything I do, 5:31 energy disappears. Everything I do, 5:31 energy disappears. Everything I do, every protocol, every patient, every 5:35 every protocol, every patient, every 5:35 every protocol, every patient, every video runs through this one belief. I 5:37 video runs through this one belief. I 5:37 video runs through this one belief. I want people to live smarter, stronger, 5:40 want people to live smarter, stronger, 5:40 want people to live smarter, stronger, longer because I don't want your first 5:43 longer because I don't want your first 5:43 longer because I don't want your first symptom be in your last.
