Ep 127: In this episode, I'm joined by Carly Foley for a deep dive into all things GLP-1, from the science behind popular medications to their natural counterparts within the body. We explore the rise of microdosing, the powerful role of the gut microbiome in weight regulation, and what Ayurveda teaches us about root causes of imbalance. We share foods, supplements, and lifestyle shifts that may help support the body's own GLP-1 production, probiotics, and more!
