55. GLP-1 Peptides: The Real Story

You have probably watched someone in your life lose significant weight in the last year or two. And when you asked how, the answer was probably a peptide. Then you found yourself asking, "Should I be looking into this for myself?" That question is exactly what this episode is for.

In this episode, Tanya breaks down the GLP-1 class of peptides, what they are, how they work, and what most conversations about them leave out. She covers the full medication landscape including semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide, the real concerns around gut motility and muscle loss, what research shows about weight regain after stopping, and her honest position on when these tools may be appropriate and what they do not address.

This is episode one of a four-part July series called Peptides: What You Need to Know. Next week in Episode 56, Tanya moves into a completely different part of the peptide world: the growth hormone releasing peptides that work by supporting the body's own production rather than overriding appetite.
