By now we have all heard about Semaglutide (Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro). Whether you have used it yourself or know of someone who has, we know how effective these medications are for weight loss. But what comes after weight loss? To avoid the yo-yo of weight loss and weight gain, many are choosing to microdose GLP-1’s to maintain their weight. People who consistently maintain their weight vs. yo-yoing are clinically healthier, as it is less stress on all the body’s systems.
Microdosing refers to taking a low dose of GLP-1, to improve glucose control. When microdosed, these medications stabilize blood sugar levels which help curve cravings and reduce the food noise. This approach helps to keep you feeling fuller longer, making it easier to avoid over indulging. Microdosing also helps to reduce the possibility of negative side effects, such as nausea and indigestion.
If you are looking to lose a few pounds (5-10 pounds) and then maintain, you are a perfect candidate for microdosing GLP’s. Losing those pesky 10 pounds and maintaining one’s weight can feel like a full-time job, especially as we age and our metabolisms slow.
Recent studies have found other benefits of microdosing may help improve kidney function, cardiovascular health, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The anti-inflammatory properties of GLP’s can help reduce a number of health issues and diseases.
If you want to lose or maintain your weight and feel like it is an uphill battle, there are tools at your disposal to assist your body and your brain.
