The Science Behind GIP: Friend, Foe, or Both?

What if I told you there’s a hormone that can be boosted in one weight-loss drug and blocked in another—and somehow both approaches lead to weight loss? Sounds wild, right? Today, we’re diving into the fascinating science behind GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Peptide), a hormone that plays a dual role in some of the most exciting weight-loss medications.

From Mounjaro, which enhances GIP alongside GLP-1, to MariTide, which takes the opposite approach by blocking GIP, we’ll unravel how these strategies work and what they mean for your weight-loss journey. Whether you’re Team Enhance or Team Block, the science behind these approaches is nothing short of groundbreaking.

Join me as I break down the GIP paradox in simple terms—perfect for anyone curious about how cutting-edge medications can shape the future of obesity management. Let’s explore how this hormone might just be the key to unlocking your health goals!
