Over the last several years, GLP-1 agonist medications have gained traction as an effective way for folks to lose weight and improve their metabolic health. GLP-1 medications have proven to result in weight loss, but after discontinuing the drug, weight regain is common. Today, you’re going to learn the full story behind GLP-1, foods that increase your natural GLP-1 activity, and so much more. On this episode of The Model Health Show, I’m sitting down with Dr. Tasneem Bhatia. Dr. Taz is a double board-certified integrative medicine physician, best-selling author, and a pioneer of merging holistic medicine with conventional medicine. In this conversation, she’s sharing what goes on behind the scenes with metabolic health and GLP-1. This episode is a goldmine of information, including what you should be eating for optimal health, the role of blood sugar and gut health in regulating metabolism, and how to create a strategic approach that allows your body to heal. Dr. Taz is also sharing her clinical experience with prescribing GLP-1 microdosing to her patients, the benefits, and how this approach differs from the conventional dosing schedule. I hope you enjoy this interview with the one and only, Dr. Taz!
