The Pep Talk; Weight Loss and Anti-Aging with GLP-1
with Guest Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, MD
WEIGHT LOSS & ANTI AGING with GLP-1, From SHR original episode early 2021 with @dryurth @boulderlongevityinstitute
GLP-1 has been a mainstay in treating Type 2 Diabetes. As the name suggests its a glucagon mimetic peptide. We are learning more and more about glucagon and how it's an important player in regulating the insulinogenic response and also tamping down the negative effects of high insulin and glucose. Glucose signaling is what makes cells senescent.
