658. GLP-1s Beyond Weight Loss: Can They Heal Your Gut and Lower Inflammation

تفصیل

We usually hear about GLP-1 medications in the context of appetite and weight loss, but there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes, especially when it comes to the gut. In this episode, I’m looking at what we know about GLP-1s and gut health, from inflammation and the intestinal barrier to the microbiome, bile acids, and the gut-brain connection. I also share my own experience with bloating and why my perspective on GLP-1s is decidedly not “they’re either amazing or terrible.” What you’ll learn: How GLP-1s may affect your gut beyond appetite and weight loss What inflammation has to do with metabolic and gut health What Akkermansia is and why everyone suddenly seems to be talking about it How GLP-1s may influence the intestinal barrier and microbiome Why some people feel better on GLP-1s while others feel worse What the research says about GLP-1s and IBD Why more medication isn't necessarily better Where the science is promising, and where we still need more answers If you’ve been wondering what GLP-1s are actually doing inside your gut, tune in!
