Curtis shares insights from years of working with clients in functional nutrition and explains how things like metabolic adaptation, hormone shifts, gut issues, chronic stress, and not-so-great nutrition can all get in the way of these medications doing their job. Plus, he offers insights and solutions to help your GLP-1 work better. Here’s what you’ll learn: - Why GLP-1 medications work for some people and not for others - The surprising reason many people hit a weight loss plateau on GLP-1s - What damaged GLP receptors have to do with stubborn weight loss - Why being in a chronic calorie deficit can actually make fat loss harder - The metabolic cascade that happens when cortisol rises and thyroid function drops - The overlooked role of digestion, stomach acid, and bile when using GLP medications - Why some people experience hair loss, gallbladder issues, or pancreatitis on GLPs - The real reason some people get more food noise and hunger while taking GLPs - Why microdosing GLPs may create better metabolic stability than large weekly doses - The surprising reason losing fat can increase your body’s toxic burden - What actually determines whether you can come off a GLP without regaining weight - The peptides Curtis prefers for metabolism support and fat loss (and the popular one he strongly dislikes) - The real story behind “plant peptides,” oral GLP drops, and supplements all over social media Subscribe: https://carrotsncake.substack.com Semaglutide: https://elliemd.com/microdose?bp=tinahaupert Tirzepatide: https://elliemd.com/microdose?bp=tinahaupert Retatrutide: https://ignitepeptides.com/p…","meta_description":"In this episode, I’m back with Curtis Gillespie Sayers, and we dig into why GLP-1s don’t always work the way people hope, especially for women in their la…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2414,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/fit-fueled-life-podcast-3384413/episodes/ep329-glp-1-isn-t-working-here-s-what-s-actually-going-on-with-curtis-gillespie-sayers/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fit-fueled-life-podcast-3384413/ep329-glp-1-isn-t-working-here-s-what-s-actually-going-on-with-curtis-gillespie-sayers.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
