GLP-1 Masterclass: Benefits, Risks and What You Need to Know

Important: This episode is for general education only and does not replace personalised medical advice. GLP-1 medications are prescription medicines. Always discuss their benefits, risks and appropriate use with a qualified medical professional before beginning, changing or stopping treatment.

GLP-1 medications have attracted enormous attention for their potential to support weight loss and improve blood glucose control.

However, there is much more to understand than the dramatic results often presented in headlines and social media. In this episode, Nicole Moore provides a detailed introduction to GLP-1, the natural hormone produced in the intestine in response to food, and explains its role in appetite, digestion and glucose regulation.

Nicole explores how GLP-1 receptor agonist medications imitate or amplify some of these natural processes.

She discusses how they may slow gastric emptying, support feelings of fullness, reduce appetite and cravings, and influence the way the body manages glucose and insulin.

She also explains the difference between glucose, glycogen and glucagon, helping listeners understand the metabolic processes involved.

The episode also examines the other side of GLP-1 treatment. Nicole discusses potential digestive side effects, loss of lean body mass, nutritional deficiencies, gallbladder concerns, changes in mood and the possibility of weight regain after treatment ends.

She explains why focusing only on the number on the scales may overlook important changes in muscle mass, strength, body composition and long-term metabolic health.

Most importantly, Nicole emphasises that medication should not be treated as a complete health strategy. Anyone considering or currently using a GLP-1 medication should work with suitably qualified health professionals and prioritise sustainable habits.

These may include consuming sufficient protein, completing appropriate resistance training, including healthy dietary fats, addressing emotional and behavioural patterns, and following an individualised nutrition plan.
