Should You Take GLPs? A Naturopath Breaks Down Weight Loss Medications, Side Effects and Natural Alternatives Video

Ozempic. Mounjaro. GLP-1 medications. They are everywhere right now. And whether you are considering one, already taking one, or simply wondering what all the hype is about — there is a lot more to this conversation than most people are having.

In this episode of The Bean Talk Riannon and Jeremy look at GLP-1 weight loss medications through a naturopathic lens. Not to tell you they are good. Not to tell you they are bad. But to give you the full picture so you can make an informed decision about what is right for your body.

Because the medication is only one part of the story. What you do with the opportunity it creates is what actually matters.

In this episode, we cover:

* What GLP-1 medications are and how they work in the body * Why your body naturally produces GLP-1 and what that means * How Ozempic and Mounjaro suppress appetite and support weight loss * Ozempic side effects and what most people are not warned about * Why GLP-1 medications are not appropriate during preconception and pregnancy * Ozempic and fertility including insulin resistance, PMOS and hormonal weight gain * Why muscle loss, nutrient deficiency and bone health are the biggest risks nobody talks about * What naturopathic support looks like before, during and after GLP-1 medication * Why coming off Ozempic without fixing the underlying issues leads to weight regain * How to use GLP-1 medications as a tool rather than a long term solution * Blood glucose, metabolic health and insulin resistance and why they still matter on the medication * Natural alternatives to GLP-1 medications including OEA and incretin system support * How digestion, rest and digest nervous system activation and whole food nutrition naturally support GLP-1 production * Why weight loss is not the same as health improvement and what the difference means for you * What a naturopath looks at beyond the number on the scales

If you have been curious about weight loss medications or are already on one and want to make sure you are supporting your body properly. This episode is exactly where to start.
