Episode 267- GLP-1s, Statins, Metformin: Are These Meds Helpful or Harmful?

Are medications solving the root of metabolic disease — or just masking it? In this powerful episode that started as a Instagram LIVE, I break down what you're not being told about the most commonly prescribed drugs for blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight loss: GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy), statins, and Metformin.

I help you unpack:

What these medications actually do (mechanisms of action) The real data behind their risk reduction claims How statins may suppress natural GLP-1 production Why GLP-1s cause significant muscle loss, not just fat loss Why Metformin doesn't reverse insulin resistance

More importantly, I walk you through what does restore metabolic health — including a system that's helping real people normalize labs, lose weight, and feel better without long-term prescriptions.
